BC PLACE AND BC LIONS ANNOUNCE ENHANCED FOOD AND BEVERAGE CONCEPTS FOR THE 2016 SEASON
June 24th, 2016
All-new food menu and expanded specialty beer program!
With the 2016 Canadian Football League season kicking off this Saturday, BC Place and the BC Lions are thrilled to introduce a host of delicious new food and beverage selections for hungry fans.
Centerplate’s culinary team at BC Place has been working hard in the off-season to create a range of delicious signature food items, expanded beverage selections, as well as specials deals on offer prior to every BC Lions home game. The new menu, created by award-winning Executive Chef, Will Tse, is sure to impress Lions fans, old and new.
Headlining the new menu is the all-new “Beast of Fire” kitchen featuring a rotating selection of butchery-style roasts that are carved-to-order and prepared on the spot. Fans will also be tempted by a new range of unique meals including the “Big Event” Triple-Patty Burger that includes 6 strips of Applewood-smoked bacon, Fish Tacos, a Foot Long Hotdog, Foot-long sausage with house made chili, and Sriracha Chicken Poutine to name a few.
“The BC Lions are committed to delivering an exceptional game experience for our fans, and our partners at BC Place share that same vision,” says Dennis Skulsky, BC Lions President & CEO. “The range and quality of food and beverage options our fans will be able to enjoy at each home game this season is second to none. The options truly go above and beyond typical stadium-fare for both selection and quality.”
“These new food and beverage concepts reflect the innovative approach we’ve taken to ensure we continue to operate BC Place as Canada’s premier stadium,” says Graham Ramsay, Director of Business, BC Place. “We’re incredibly excited to be unveiling our enhanced menu for all of our guests – it is truly the ultimate fan experience for our avid Lions supporters!”
In addition, the hugely popular Thirsty Pigeon premium beer stands will now feature an even wider range of beers including more than 30 beers and ciders from British Columbia and around the world.
For the 2016 Lions season, BC Place is introducing “Warm Up Specials”, allowing fans to enjoy discount prices on snacks and drinks up to 30 minutes prior to kick-off. Fans who arrive early can enjoy rotating specials such as 2-for-1 hot dogs, 50% off select Beast on Fire snacks and $6 select beers.
BC Lions fans will have something different to try at every game, all season long. Be sure to sample our all-new creations like Sriracha Shrimp Tacos, Braised Pork Belly Poutine, Popcorn Chicken Poutine, Pulled Pork Pizza and more!
Fans can expect to enjoy these new food and beverage concepts at every BC Lions home game, as well as all other upcoming BC Place events including the Whitecaps FC season and FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
