Best places to eat before an event at Rogers Arena

If you’ve ever been to a Canucks game or a concert at Roger Arena, it’s almost always the golden question – where do you eat and drink before the guys hit the ice or the superstars hit the stage?

Pre-game/concert grub is important, it’s what fuels you to be able to laugh, cheer, and cry with your team or the performer.

Most importantly, it warms up your system for all the churros, chicken fingers, and bacon cones you’re going to down once you have actually stepped into Rogers Arena.
