In the book "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor, the phrase "this is the house built on the Erik Fisher football dream" refers to the idea that the Fisher family's success and reputation are built upon Erik's football achievements. The family's house, wealth, and social standing are all tied to Erik's success as a star football player. This phrase symbolizes the pressure Erik feels to excel in football in order to maintain his family's status and lifestyle.
