Green Bay, Wis. -- Visit a typical NFL stadium concession stand these days and you're likely to notice that among the greasy meat burgers and high-fat hot dogs is a growing number of delicious and healthy meatless options. So with the 2011 pro season hitting the midway mark, it's time for PETA's fourth annual ranking of the most vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL. Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, has grabbed the number three spot.
Lambeau Field, which captured third place in last year's ranking, offers the Packers faithful an array of health-, animal-, and Earth-friendly vegetarian options. Vegetarian bratwurst, veggie burgers, peanutty dan dan noodles, spicy orange chili glass noodles, grilled vegetable pasta salad, hummus with vegetables, quinoa, warm black-eyed pea salad, baked potatoes, and fresh veggies are available at the stadium.
"Packers fans might be inspired to do the Aaron Rodgers championship belt touchdown dance after sinking their teeth into a mouthwatering, meat-free bratwurst or veggie burger," says PETA Associate Director Chris Holbein. "The best way to improve your health, help animals, and protect the environment is to throw the flag on meat and enjoy energy-boosting vegetarian fare."
Thanks to its "chicken-steak" sandwich and the addition of a superb seitan brisket and other vegan options to its menu, the Philadelphia Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field has clinched first place for the second year in a row. Rounding out the top five winners are O.co Stadium (Oakland Raiders), Gillette Stadium (New England Patriots), and Georgia Dome (Atlanta Falcons). The stadiums that received honorable mentions are Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego Chargers), CenturyLink Field (Seattle Seahawks), Candlestick Park (San Francisco 49ers), and Ford Field (Detroit Lions).
