Cleveland -- Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians, has tied for 10th place in PETA's annual ranking of the Top 10 Vegetarian-Friendly Ballparks. The ballpark, which tied with the Minnesota Twins' Target Field, has expanded its roster to include protein-packed veggie dogs, veggie subs, wild-grain and tofu curry, and veggie pasta. Indians fans can also snack on veggie wraps, fruit cups, and roasted vegetables.
"The Indians haven't gained ground this season in the standings, but Progressive Field has shown that it's pretty, well ... progressive," says PETA Director Dan Shannon. "With the variety of meat-free options that are available at the ballpark, Indians fans can look forward to slashing their risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes for many seasons to come."
For the fourth straight year, the Philadelphia Phillies' Citizens Bank Park took top honors--this time for adding a delicious vegan breaded chicken sandwich to a roster that includes a vegetarian crab-cake salad (also available as a sandwich or wrap), hearty veggie burgers and veggie dogs, a Southwestern black-bean burger, a veggie steak sandwich, a mock chicken steak, the new vegan Rice Crispie treat, and more. Rounding out the top 10 are AT&T Park (San Francisco Giants), Minute Maid Park (Houston Astros), Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers), Coors Field (Colorado Rockies), Turner Field (Atlanta Braves), PETCO Park (San Diego Padres), Angel Stadium (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim), Miller Park (Milwaukee Brewers), and Target Field (Minnesota Twins).
Top athletes across the sports spectrum--including slugger Prince Fielder, Olympic great Carl Lewis, NFL running back Ricky Williams, and mixed martial arts fighter Mac Danzig--have kicked the meat habit, and a trip to ballpark concession stands confirms that fans are getting the message too.
Each major-league team to make the Top 10 Vegetarian-Friendly Ballparks list will receive a framed certificate from PETA. For more information and to see the complete list of winners, please click here.
