Baseball season is in full swing, and while everyone else is trying to figure out who’s on first, we’re busy thinking about what we’re going to eat during those gorgeous spring afternoons at the ballpark. We love our peanuts and boxes of Cracker Jack (yes, they’re accidentally vegan!), but we’re bringing something new to bat with this medley of store-bought munchies and homemade fare. With nine innings to get through, we suggest playing hardball with several of the snacks below to make sure you cover all the bases.

Can you buy vegan food at baseball stadiums?

Between all the hot dogs and burgers at stadium food stands, is there anything vegan to be found at baseball stadiums? The short answer is: yes.

Major league sports venues are becoming more vegan-friendly in general—a positive symptom of the mainstreaming of plant-based food. We’re not just talking Cracker Jack or fries. You can now buy a substantial meal—including hot dogs, nachos, sushi, and more—that’ll keep you energized while you cheer your team on and boo the challenger. And often, there’s vegan beer too. (Let our guide to vegan beer show you the way. Some of the most mainstream names in the industry are a-okay for animal-free diets.)

If you’re looking for food that you can buy at the baseball park itself, here are just a few of the best options you can find. (If you’re looking for a more comprehensive list, then check out our guide to the most vegan-friendly stadiums across the country.)

Vegan food at baseball stadiums 

1 Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX

According to Eater, the home of the Texas Rangers is catering to vegans right now with a PLT Sandwich. Instead of bacon, it features portabella mushrooms, bibb lettuce, sliced tomato, and a helping of vegan mayonnaise, too. 

2 Citi Field in Queens, NY

If you’re off to see the Mets, you have plenty of plant-based choices ready and waiting for you. According to Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Citi Field Dining Guide, you can grab everything from nachos to burgers to Beyond Sausages at the stadium’s Vegan City section.

3 Oracle Park in San Francisco

The home of the San Francisco Giants does not disappoint when it comes to vegan-friendly game day snacks. As well as the standard peanuts and chips, you can also find several plant-based meat options from Impossible Foods, including nuggets, chili, and burgers, reports Veggl

4 Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York

At the Yankee Stadium, vegan Yankees fans won’t be disappointed, according to the MLB. The Halal Guys portable carts, for example, have falafel and pita options, and you can also treat yourself to dairy-free soft serve at exclusive Oatly sections.

5 Truist Park in Atlanta, GA

Starting from April 6, 2023, Truist Park will be serving fans of the Atlanta Braves vegan bratwurst from the now-iconic Atlanta burger joint, Slutty Vegan. But that’s not all, there will also be vegan chicken strips, fries, and a range of dairy-free dipping sauces on offer.

The best store-bought vegan snacks to bring to a baseball game 

Convenience is the name of the game here and we’re willing players. If you don’t want to buy food at the stadium, we love to keep a stash of these vegan snacks on-hand for all of our outings and adventures. (And not to mention, as an emergency hunger cure.)
