Evraz Place will be bringing in local food vendors that will be set up at temporary food stations inside the stadium.
Regina Exhibition Association, the operator of Evraz Place, said when the stadium opens in 2017, it will offer food and beverage options based on major market trends in other stadiums.
“We’ll be working on finalizing contracts for food vendors over the next few months once we have a better idea of equipment needs,” Graham Edge, vice-president of food and beverage for the Regina Exhibition Association.
“The October 1 game gives an opportunity to test out food items and see what fans like. We hope these local restaurants will be part of the future stadium food experience.”
