The oval is the point. Twelve by nine and a quarter inches gives you more surface than a 9-inch round without being wider across, so a pile of wings, a scoop of chili and a square of cornbread sit side by side instead of on top of each other. On a lap in front of a television, the long axis also balances better across two knees.
Eight plates is a living room rather than a tailgate: the people who turn up for one game, eat once and go home. The Game Time print is generic football rather than any team, so the same plates come back out for a different fixture in November.
