$5 Menu!
BC Place has announced a new $5 menu, in collaboration with Sodexo Live!, including $5 beer, hot dogs, nachos, and popcorn. Limited-release items may appear on the menu throughout the year.
The $5 Menu is available at Dawson’s Hot Dogs stands at sections 201 and 227.
“We know that for some, buying tickets to a game or a concert can be a big financial commitment, and we want to ensure that everyone has the ability to enjoy a meal at our stadium,” said Chris May, general manager at BC Place. “We want fans to know they have options – whether it’s a Slow Roasted Prime Rib sandwich or a beer and hotdog for $10. The $5 Menu helps ensure there is something for everyone.”
The announcement follows the recent launch of BC Place’s new 2023 menu features, including premium items such as the Footlong Lobster Roll and Porky Pine Sandwich on a house-made pineapple bun.

Please join in welcoming Kratos to the match!
