Interestingfor you baseball fans out there...

[Guest guest]

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies on making it into the World Series! Their very veggie ballpark has been a hit with many baseball fans. Check these media mentions:On Oct.9, the Philadelphia Daily News ran a front page feature story, "Venue Vegan; Phillies Citizens Bank Park finds a winning combo with meatless menu." Link to the article here: http://www.philly.com/dailynews/features/20081009_Venue_vegan__Phillies__Citizens_Bank_Park_find_a_winning_combo_with_meatless_menu.htmlPhiladelphia's ABC6 News also ran a terrific opening day piece.

DON’T BELIEVE IT!

 

Unfortunately, if you go to the Phillies ball park,

you can’t find any good veggie options. They’re talked about and

written about, but they don’t actually exist. I’ve been to several

games and I’ve had difficulty finding anything to eat every time.

It is so neat to see places attempting to meet the needs of

vegetarians & vegans. Thanks for sharing the links!

 

Kristin, as I was looking through the various links, I noticed it

appears the vegetarian & vegan options are only sold in some food

stands at the stadium. Here's a piece I pulled up with some

information on where these items are sold. Hope this helps

I looked for them at CBP too and could find them.

 

The only thing I was able to find was the sub shop there that would make an expensive vegetable sub. I had to forego the no oil as I'm sure the bun had oil in it.

 

I'm really haveing some worries about the Giant Center where I have season tickets for hockey. We've been discussing what we can eat there and honestly there is not much. So it will be a challenge.

 

Anyone have any ideas for maneuvering such events?

Oh yes, lots of people at the park tell you where to

go for those great veggie options but when you get there…. Blank stares

from the people working there. They have no idea what you are talking about. Trust

me, I’ve spent hours wandering through the concessions in that park…
