DURHAM, N.C. -

As ballparks across the country continue to expand their menus, there are more healthy, humane, and delicious vegetarian options than ever before. So once again, PETA has picked the top 10 vegetarian-friendly minor league ballparks, and Durham Bulls Athletic Park has scored second place.

Bulls fans can choose from an array of delicious meatless options, including veggie burgers, veggie dogs, portobello mushroom sandwiches, fiesta rice bowls, grilled veggie wraps, spinach salads, and fruit cups. Placing first this year is the Fisher Cats' MerchantsAuto.com Stadium, with offerings such as veggie burgers and grilled vegetable sandwiches.

Rounding out the top 10 are the Portland Beavers' PGE Park, the Pawtucket Red Sox's McCoy Stadium, the Tacoma Rainers' Cheney Stadium, the Memphis Redbirds' AutoZone Park, the Aberdeen Ironbirds' Ripken Stadium, the Rochester Red Wings' Frontier Field, the Frederick Keys' Harry Grove Stadium, and the West Virginia Power's Appalachian Power Park.

 

"The food vendors at Athletic Park are swinging for the fences when it comes to offering fans great vegetarian options that are kind to their health and to animals," says PETA Assistant Director Dan Shannon. "Cholesterol-packed meaty fare makes fans fat, so if you want to stand up for the seventh inning stretch, give the delicious vegetarian foods a try!"

Each team will receive a framed certificate and a congratulatory letter from PETA. For more information and to view the complete listings of winners, please visit PETA's Web site GoVeg.com.
