Baseball season is in full swing, which means we’re back once again with this year’s ranking of the best vegan-friendly ballparks. These stadiums go beyond peanuts and Cracker Jack (which we love, too, of course). Many are partnering with brands such as Beyond Meat and Field Roast to give baseball fans the classic game-day experience while keeping it compassionate.
So don’t strike out for animals—choose vegan options at the ballpark and spare countless cows, pigs, and other animals who don’t want to be stuffed between buns.
