San Antonio — First came Major League Baseball in 2002, followed by the NFL in 2008. Now, for the first time, thanks to the explosion in vegetarian options at sports venues across the continent, PETA has ranked the top 10 most vegetarian-friendly NBA arenas, and the AT&T Center, home of the San Antonio Spurs, is number eight.
"Once again, the Spurs find themselves with one of the best records in the league, and now they can tout another accomplishment: earning a spot on PETA's list of the top 10 vegetarian-friendly NBA arenas," says PETA Associate Director of Campaigns Lindsay Rajt. "Coming away from the AT&T Center's concession stands with healthy, humane, and delicious meat-free fare is a slam dunk."
PETA's favorites include the bean burritos, bean tacos, and perfectly spiced red beans and rice. But save room for dessert because you won't want to miss the scrumptious hot dairy-free apple turnovers. Fans in the premium seating areas can also choose from the mouthwatering vegan sloppy Joes with soy-based tempeh, peppers, onions, and brown-sugar barbecue sauce as well as the oh-so-satisfying veggie burgers.
STAPLES Center,home to both the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers,came in first placefor its vegan sushi and grilled-veggie sandwich, followed by runner-up Air Canada Centre, home of the Toronto Raptors, with its chutney-topped Bollywood veggie dog, vegetarian burrito, and lettuce, tomato, and scallion veggie dog. Rounding out the top 10 are the Wells Fargo Center (Philadelphia 76ers), the BMO Harris Bradley Center (Milwaukee Bucks), Oracle Arena (Golden State Warriors), the Rose Garden (Portland Trail-Blazers), the United Center (Chicago Bulls), Bankers Life Fieldhouse (Indiana Pacers), and The Palace of Auburn Hills (Detroit Pistons).
