Fans who visit Scotiabank Arena can upgrade their game day eats and dining experience with three all-new HEINZ condiment stations located throughout the venue. Created to complement the arena’s multi-phase reimagination project, the new HEINZ stations showcase the brand’s iconic condiment lineup with innovative ketchup and mustard taps, alongside custom wall installations and signage that pay homage to classic game-day menu items.

“As the puck drops and we tip-off for the new Maple Leafs and Raptors seasons, we are glad to welcome a proudly Canadian partner back into our venues,” said Jordan Vader, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships, MLSE. “HEINZ is a staple brand in Canadian fans’ homes, and we look forward to working together to extend that familiar quality into their Maple Leafs and Raptors game-day experiences.”

Proudly made in Canada with locally grown tomatoes, HEINZ Ketchup has been a beloved household staple for generations, and its return to MLSE venues is another example of the brand’s commitment to Canadians—providing delicious HEINZ offerings for every touchpoint of their lives.
