Bridgestone has some... interesting options.
New Food Offerings Created to Please Preds Fans, Bridgestone Arena Guests
I'm not a fan of trying to eat messy food in a crowded seat, but I'm all on board for that cookie dessert.

In buffalo they should try catering to Canadian fans. It just makes business sense. If you were in Dallas I’d think otherwise. But buffalo is right at the border. Should expect to deal with your weird money

American Airlines center has pretty good food and actually a really good selection although I don't eat at most games I go to so. From burgers to seafood to steak to BBQ to tex mex. Quite a few bars and stuff as well and the platinum level people (below the suites) get their own waiters and a private restaurant and bar so that's cool but other arenas probably do that too
Movie theater pricing
As for sodas, its Dr. Pepper products mostly

Rogers Place in Edmonton is actually fairly good for variety and taste. They have a killer Prime Rib Sandwich (Alberta Beef of course)... that's my go to 99% of the time. Rogers serves Pepsi which is my preference.
I'm not going to list all of the food choices... you can see them HERE if you're interested... a few unique options are Peroghy Nachos, Butter Chicken, Porchetta Sandwich...

Lol it was a while ago but if I remember right a beer and a thing of nachos was around 24 Canadian. It was under 10 American.
I didn’t really care. It was Canadian at par night on the tickets which were already 150 less than a game at the ACC.
I just found the whole thing kinda humorous. Bills stadium was a lot more Canadian friendly any time I was there. And their fried dough stuff was delicious!!!

In fairness we don’t like dealing with our weird moneyIn buffalo they should try catering to Canadian fans. It just makes business sense. If you were in Dallas I’d think otherwise. But buffalo is right at the border. Should expect to deal with your weird money

Pens fan, Columbus has rocking service. If at by itself being able to order drinks from your seat. Also great sandwiches.
Buying food/drinks at the concessions at ANY sporting event/concert makes my wallet sad.
That said - now more than ever I don't miss attending live events when I can watch from home...Cold beer in the fridge, scotch/bourbon in the cabinet, snacks galore, and no lines for the bathroom...Life is good in front of my flat screen tv on a cold winter night.

Cant be that bad, last I remember your beer selection was better than Rogers Place and Rexall Place. Havent been back to Saddledome since The Hip's last tour through there. So maybe it has turned bad since then.

Ottawa rates a mention solely for the Tims stand. I got a coffee and donut for $3 CAN (Which is about $2.40 US). To put that in perspective a small cup of Dunkin coffee at MSG costs more than $5. Even more amazing: a coffee at the Tims in Penn Station costs close to $3. There is also a Tims in Columbus where a coffee and donut ran me $3.50, which again for a sports arena is amazing. Columbus also has a Skyline stand, so yeah that place is amazing. Washington has probably the smartest idea in the league: a souvineer cup soda cost $8, but you can literally get all the free refills you want so if you get a refill each intermission that's less than $3 per soda.
I didn't realize people drink soda anymore.
I don't go to sporting events to eat. Might grab some peanuts. Eating in stands or getting jostled at one of those tiny, dirty tables--I'll pass.
Do appreciate the better beer selection nowadays at PPG and others. A beer or maybe two and I'm set.
Go Pens!!!

Maybe not. Arthur Blank, the owner of the Atlanta Falcons, have made the concessions at Mercedes Benz Stadium relatively cheap. He says that he has actually made more money this way, because he does more business. Hopefully others will follow suit.
P.S. for those that want to know ... beer is $5.00
I’ve been to all of the NHL and MLB barns on the West Coast and Southwest (Alberta excluded). And the worst I’ve seen of all of those plus the east coast now is the Washington Capitals arena (Capital One Arena).
WORST. FOOD. EVER.
Summation - Crappy Bread, crappy bread, beer, crappy bread, crappy bread, crappy bread and Dunkin’ Donuts.
They may have a championship team but their food selection is dog shit. No, dog shit tastes better than the food they offer there.
Go across town to the Nats ball park, one of the best in all of pro sports.

The Devils have a culture of failure
Devils have a good selection at Prudential Center. A lot of it is New Jersey themed, and there’s also a craft beer area with all NJ based breweries. Expensive, obviously.

That’s the worst part. It was stale.
Still ate it all. For that price I had to lick the bag clean.

I thought I saw somewhere it was one of the best sellers lol. Either way, Rogers place offers something for everyone. Amazing food choices

Prudential Center doesn't have like blow you away food, but they have the best chicken fingers I've had at any arena, and the beer is better priced than MSG If they offered pork roll sandwiches, GOAT. MSG has nice and plentiful food choices, though expensive. Buffalo has average food, little pricey for no really good reason.

Never ever bring Canadian money down to the USA and try and use it.. they pretty much view it as Pesos... similar thing happened to me years ago in Grand Forks ND at a Ozzy Osborne concert trying to buy a beer with Canadian Money...
friendly advice just hit a bank machine in the US if you don’t have time to get to a bank before you go.. you get US cash at a very good exchange rate and you can use most CDN bank Cards..take out more cash than you think you need..either save the US cash that you don’t use for another trip or exchange it at a CDN bank when you get back...
