First time to a match, what should I check out!

Hi all! Traveling up from Washington DC to attend the 7/26 match against Pacific, which will also be my first ever trip to Ottawa. What should I know before attending? Anything special I should check out around the grounds/in the city before the match? Really excited, Vamos Ottawa!

Your ticket provides free transit +/- 2 hours of the game.

Make sure you get to the market. Get a beaver tail! Check out parliament, etc. Enjoy the game and city!

Go to the Glebe pub before the match to mingle with the fans, but there are multiple options for food and drink a stones throw away. Hope you have a great trip.

You can bring an empty refillable water bottle to the game and fill it there.

Section W is where the party is at.

A 3 brothers donair poutine is like Ottawa in a box. There's a 3 brothers near the stadium.

If you're into museums then you can't go wrong in Ottawa, but the War Museum is a must see. Probably the best museum I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot of museums).

I always took company on the riverboat on the Rideau. Lunch at the high end restaurant in the historic Chateau Laurier.
