Atlanta -- 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 the fourth annual ranking of the most vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL. Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons, has grabbed the number five spot.
Georgia Dome offers the Falcons faithful an array of health-, animal-, and Earth-friendly vegetarian options. The Dome has a good selection of meatless meals and snacks, including the ever-popular veggie dogs, veggie burgers, vegetables and hummus, and salads. Grilled vegetable pasta salad, peanutty dan dan noodles, spicy orange chili glass noodles, quinoa, hummus, warm black-eyed pea salad, Eden Organic Wild Berry Mix, and fresh vegetables can be ordered in the premium dining areas.
"Between the delicious vegetarian options and PETA spokesperson Tony Gonzalez's climbing the all-time receptions list, Georgia Dome is the place to be for animal-friendly football fans," 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 Coliseum (Oakland Raiders), Lambeau Field (Green Bay Packers), and Gillette Stadium (New England Patriots). 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).
