Baseball season is in full swing, so it’s great to know that some of our major league ballparks are providing fans with vegetarian options in addition to the old reliable “peanuts and Cracker Jacks.” Thankfully, PETA came out with this list for 2013 of the Top 10 Vegetarian-Friendly Major League Ballparks.
Here is the countdown starting with the ballpark in 10th place…
10. Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field has some nice vegetarian options, including veggie dogs, Sloppy Janes (vegetarian versions of Sloppy Joes) and fresh vegetable wraps.
9. San Diego Padres’ PETCO Park
PETCO Park’s vegetarian options include grilled tofu wraps, veggie burgers, hummus, vegetable sushi, and more.
8. Boston Red Sox’s Fenway Park
The vegetarian fare at Fenway includes vegetable sushi, meat-free burritos, veggie burgers, veggie dogs, and hummus. Wow, even the Green Monster is getting greener!

3. Washington Nationals’ Nationals Park
Nationals Park offers Sloppy Janes, veggie chili with faux ground beef, and falafel.
2. Detroit Tigers’ Comerica Park
Comerica Park clearly deserves the #2 spot with its wide variety of vegetarian options including an Italian mock sausage, a vegan Riblet sandwich, a veggie dog, black bean burger, vegetarian sushi, and other meat-free favorites.
THE TOP SPOT AWARD FOR THE MOST VEGETARIAN-FRIENDLY MAJOR LEAGUE BALLPARK FOR 2013 GOES TO…
1. Philadelphia Phillies’ Citizens Bank Park
This is the second year in a row that Citizens Bank Park took the top spot thanks to its faux-chicken patty, faux chicken-steak, faux “pit beef” smothered in barbecue sauce, and other delicious vegetarian fare.
Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies’ Citizens Bank Park for being recognized by PETA as being the #1 ballpark with the most exceptional array of delicious and healthy meat-free fare!
I was wondering if I would see Dodgers Stadium on this list and I’m not surprised it isn’t. The veggie options are pretty minimal. There’s a veggie dog which could be alot better. There’s a small area for salads but basically it’s time Dodger Stadium stepped up to the veggie plate— LA is a great place for veggie food but not if you’re watching the Dodgers play, unfortunately!!
