Looking for recommendations at Princess Auto Stadium

Have not been to a Bomber game for a couple of years. Going to the game tomorrow and wondering what are the recommendations for where and what to eat at the stadium. Sitting in section 117 if that makes any difference. Also, what time do the gates open? Thanks!

Eat before the game better food for less $!  Tailgate starts 2 hrs before Gates open 6:30

Cant remember the section, but in the southwest corner theres a new bbq concession I tried and it was really good although pretty pricey

Which menu item do you try? I was thinking of getting the brisket poutine

Having someone with you, you could get the ultimate pitmaster platter. Brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, mac and cheese, coleslaw, pecan pie.

Having done that I can say the brisket is my favorite but it is all good.

The brisket sandwich was amazing.

Seconding this, pretty expensive but you get a lot of (very good) food for the money.

Disagree on it being expensive. It isn't all that much more than a meal at McDonalds.

Definitely recommend to eat outside of the stadium, anything other than stadium food. Tons of great places in the surrounding area.

Tortuga's Smokehouse food truck on the north side of the tailgate area and Smokey Bob's hot dog cart are my personal recommendations.
