It wasn't like this 10 years ago! It's amazing how things have

changed - ok, well, so the prices are still high, lol.

PETA's 2005 Top 10 Veggy-Friendly Ballparks

 

Vegetarian-Friendly Ballpark Scorecard:

 

1.) SBC Park, San Francisco - The Giants offer both a veggie dog and a

veggie burger, vegetarian sushi, fruit platters, edamame (salted

soybean pods, a local favorite), and delicious portobello mushroom

sandwiches.

 

2.) McAffee Coliseum, Oakland - A's fans can choose between a

vegetarian hot dog, a veggie burger, a savory bean pie, a tofu burger,

baked potatoes, a fruit cup and salads.

 

3.) Coors Field, Colorado - This year at Coors Field, animal-friendly

fans can feast on veggie burgers, vegetable wraps, grilled vegetable

burritos, and a delicious grilled panini sandwich with mushrooms and

roasted red bell peppers

 

4.) Rogers Centre, Toronto - With a vegetarian hot dog, a veggie

burger, a vegetable sub, a fruit cup, and a garden wrap, Canada's

only

remaining MLB team comes through, big-time, for the country's

throngs

of vegetarian and health-conscious baseball fans

 

5.) Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia - At Citizens Bank Park, a

delicious flame-grilled Gardenburger leads the way, along with a

gourmet tomato pizza (made without any artery-clogging cheese). In

addition, the Phillies are offering nachos with salsa, jumbo pretzels,

fresh salads, and a unique PB & J " pocket " for kids. This is

the first

year that this proud franchise has cracked PETA's list.

 

6.) Tropicana Field, Tampa - The Devil Rays offer a tasty plate of

beans and rice, a hearty veggie burger, a bean burrito, and a

" bloomin' onion. "

 

7.) Minute Maid Park, Houston - Vegetarian baseball fans in the Lone

Star State have a reliable ally in the Astros, who have made

PETA's

list three times in the last four years. A scrumptious veggie dog,

vegetarian burritos, baked potatoes, and fresh salads will power

Houston fans all the way to October.

 

8.) Miller Park, Milwaukee - The Brewers were never a basement-dweller

in the minds of their vegetarian fans. After making PETA's Top 10

two

years ago, the Brewers are back this year, boasting a vegetarian

burger, " nachos grande " (that can be ordered without cheese),

a veggie

dog, a fruit cup, and a garden salad.

 

9.) Bank One Ballpark, Phoenix - Arizona has landed itself on

PETA's

list for the first time ever with a hearty veggie burger, a vegetarian

sub, and a variety of fruit cups and salads, plus the old standbys:

Cracker Jack, French fries, popcorn, and peanuts.

 

10.) Dolphins Stadium, Miami tie - Newly acquired Carlos Delgado means

the Marlins will have plenty of power on the field, and so will the

fans in the stands as they munch on protein-packed, cholesterol-free

veggie burgers and veggie dogs, along with fresh garden salads.

 

10.) PNC Park, Pittsburgh tie- Cracking PETA's list for the first

time

ever, Pirates diehards can snack on a tasty grilled veggie wrap, fresh

salads, and delicious potato-and-onion pierogies.
