San Francisco -- As the NFL season hits the midway mark, it's time for PETA's annual ranking of clubs that are doing the best job of satisfying their fans' growing hunger for healthy, humane, and Earth-friendly vegetarian options. And because there's more delicious vegetarian food available at sporting events than ever before, PETA has had to double its list of winners. Fans of the 49ers will be pleased to know that Candlestick Park finished in second place.

San Francisco 49ers fans have their choice of many meat-, dairy-, and egg-free options, including meatless burgers, veggie hot dogs, and meatless burritos.

Taking first place is Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, whose spicy Tex-Mex burrito clinched the win.

Rounding out the top 10 are Lambeau Field (Green Bay Packers), University of Phoenix Stadium (Arizona Cardinals), M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens), Cleveland Browns Stadium (Cleveland Browns), the Metrodome (Minnesota Vikings), the Georgia Dome (Atlanta Falcons), Heinz Field (Pittsburgh Steelers), and Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego Chargers).

"The only thing worth waiting longer for than Michael Crabtree is the mouthwatering meat-free fare at Candlestick Park," says PETA Director Dan Shannon. "The best way for people to sack potential health problems and hit pay dirt for animals and the environment is to choose vegan foods every chance they get."
