The Sens get their 20th season underway in just a few weeks now and for the anniversary season, the entire organization is stepping it up. I was sent some of the major changes that will be happening at SBP in time for the home opener against Dany Heatley and the Minnesota Wild on October 11th. I have to say after reading the new plans, I'm quite pleased. Credit where credit is due, the Sens are stepping it up as of late. There will be several new food options and an improved Sens Store. Details after the jump.
Here are some of the new things to expect this season:
- Golden Palace egg rolls — the new official egg roll of Scotiabank Place — will now be available at Club-level concessions, in Club seats and in suites. The Golden Palace was recently voted by CTV Ottawa as home to “Ottawa’s best Chinese food.”
- The Burger Shack, with two locations in the main food courts on the 200 level, offers specialty burgers made fresh with 100 per cent Ontario beef on toasted buns, gourmet “forum-style” hot dogs with a variety of toppings, including corn relish and chili, as well as sea-salt-seasoned french fries.
- The Molson Canadian Brew Pub (formerly the Hockey Country Lodge located upstairs at Section 223) has been renovated and given a fresh look. The Molson Canadian Brew Pub will be the new home of Team 1200’s game-day broadcasts.
- In addition, fans can expect hot dogs served fresh off roller grills at all concession stands around the building, as well as several other new menu items at Scotiabank Place restaurants.
- A revamped Sens Store, powered by Reebok, with almost 1,800 square feet of retail space (three times larger than last season) will be open to fans. This new store will feature products from around the National Hockey League, boasting more than 100 new merchandise items for this season.
- Scotiabank Place has also received a facelift, with new 20th anniversary-inspired signage on the front of the main gates, as well as player collages at both the Gate 2 and Gate 3 fan entrances.
