"Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd ... Buy me some peanuts and ... tofu dogs?" Several years ago, if you were a baseball fan and a vegetarian, you were practically out of luck, left to dine on nachos, French fries, and the occasional cotton candy. But as we are becoming a less carnivorous society, some ballparks are choosing to adapt, adding veggie-friendly items to their menus.
Last week, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) released its list of the top 10 vegetarian ballparks. Making the list were Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies, as well as AT&T (NYSE: T) Park, where the San Francisco Giants play, and Atlanta's Turner Field - home of the Brave(s).
But topping the list is MerchantsAuto.com Stadium. A vegetarian fan can watch his New Hampshire Fisher Cats while chomping down on portobello salads and sandwiches, veggie sausage, and of course veggie burgers and dogs.
Now even vegans can be sated while they keep score.
