| - First off let me say I love the ACC! Over the years I've seen many concerts from Disney on Ice/music/cirque du soleil, hockey & basketball games. This stadium is well poised & situated for a top notch city like Toronto or should I say the "six" "t-dot" as it's referred to now (thanks Drake). I not sure what people expect in "pricing" when it comes to food at such a venue, but they are in line with other stadiums in major cities. The facility is huge and has a large employee base. This is an entertainment based venue and entertainment costs. Pure & simple. They have now added a new enormous big all around screen. I saw at last nights raptors game and it was awesome.
Now let's talk about the food; food is definitely improving with the quality & choices:
there are the concession stands that offer hot dogs,pizza, chicken fingers,fries, nachos, subs, BBQ pulled pork sandwiches and many more items. Then there's the stand alone places like " The dog house hot dogs" which uses the famous Nathan's hot dogs. These are footlong and worth it to me (you can share with someone); Edo japan for sushi(I've had many times - always fresh); Bay Street grill burrito (huge); Mac Cheesys (loaded with cheese & garlic flavour their Mac n cheese, their grilled cheese burger is tasty); smokes poutinerie, now I had this last night the triple meat (bacon,sausage,pulled pork) all on top of my poutine---delicious and filling! It cost me $12.75 tax included, but two people can share; there's also Hero burgers. Just a note - all food & drinks are tax included in the pricing at ACC.
I don't see how anyone could be disappointed with the selection & price point for such a huge & impressive venue in such a big city. The food stalls are located throughout various parts of the ACC, different sections & levels have the "specialty" places. There's snack items such as warm pretzels with cheese dipping sauce; caramel & salt popcorn.
For those who want to indulge in a restaurant at the ACC then you've got choices from; Real Sports bar, Eleven and other bars within the venue.
From visiting other stadiums throughout North America over the years I definitely am proud of this one.
