The Food At Rogers Place, Maybe Not As Advertised

Build a new arena, they said. Enjoy all the amenities of a modern arena, they said.

Maybe I'm wrong about this and Aramark will do a great job providing food and beverage service at Rogers Place, but my first reaction after seeing this tweet wasn't exactly positive. In fact this makes me think that we're all going to just end up paying a little bit more for what is essentially the same type of crappy food that's available at Rexall Place today. If you've spent any time at the University of Alberta you're probably familiar with Aramark and, I would imagine, thought the exact same thing.

Of course, we won't know for sure what will be available until the doors actually open in the Fall of 2016. Maybe there will be a great selection of local craft beers just like I had hoped for. Or maybe those "craft beers" will be Shock Top, Blue Moon, Stella, etc. Right now, the latter seems more likely than the former.
