Philadelphia -- What happens when rough-and-tumble football meets healthy and humane vegetarian food? Just ask Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster, who recently went vegan and has helped lead the Texans to the top of the AFC South. You can also find the answer when you visit the concession stands at any Philadelphia Eagles home game, which is why PETA has named Lincoln Financial Field number one in its survey of the top five vegetarian-friendly NFL stadiums in the country for the third straight year.
"As the Eagles battle for the top spot in the always-tough NFC East, Philly fans can take pride in the fact that Lincoln Financial Field tops PETA's list of vegetarian-friendly stadiums for the third year in a row, thanks to its awesome, ever-growing array of meat-free options, which include a "chicken-steak" sandwich, falafel, and seitan brisket," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman.
Visitors to the concession stands can choose from mock-steak and "chicken-steak" sandwiches, seitan brisket, veggie dogs and burgers, and veggie wraps. Fans in the premium areas can also enjoy spicy falafel, veggie hoagies, and pita chips with hummus.
Rounding out the top five are the New England Patriots' Gillette Stadium (second place), Oakland Raiders' O.Co Coliseum (third place), the Atlanta Falcons' Georgia Dome (fourth place), and the Detroit Lions' Ford Field (fifth place). Receiving honorable mention are the Kansas City Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium, the St. Louis Rams' Edward Jones Dome, the San Francisco 49ers' Candlestick Park, and MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Jets and the New York Giants.
