Today, the Whitecaps FC hosted a fan and family-friendly Blue vs. White intrasquad match at BC Place. Entrance is free, but it's first-come, first-serve, and only sections 212 to 216 are open. Head coach Vanni Sartini and the first team take on a group comprised of players for the upcoming MLS NEXT Pro squad.

It's great to be back in BC Place! Since it's first come, first serve, and the gate opens at 1:30 PM, we were already in line at 12:30 PM (because I like being first, haha).

| First Fan in BC Place! |
After grabbing our chosen seat, I ordered Classic Poutine and French Fries from the Poutinerie. Then, mini donuts just before the game started. I wanted another dozen mini donuts, but they're sold out.

| Classic Poutine from The Poutinerie |
There is something grounded and deeply Canadian about holding a warm bowl of poutine while the stadium hums with anticipation. Even through the steam (and my slightly blurry, over-eager photo!), the Classic Poutine from The Poutinerie is a beautiful sight.
The 'Heart' of this dish is the squeak of the cheese curds—a sign of freshness that any local will tell you is non-negotiable. Combined with the red wine gravy that’s rich enough to feel like a hug, and fries that hold their own under all that weight, it’s more than just a snack; it’s a match-day ritual. If you only have one bite in Vancouver, let it be this.

Mini donuts are now my BC Place guilty pleasure.

World Cup 2026 Recommendation: If you are visiting Vancouver for the FIFA World Cup, do not leave BC Place without trying the Poutine. It is the ultimate Canadian stadium experience. My blurry photo above is proof of how fast I wanted to eat it! For current 2026 pricing and stall locations, visit my BC Place 2026 Master Food Guide.
