The Fisher Cats, are proud to announce that PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has named Merchantsauto.com Stadium the Most Vegetarian-Friendly Ballpark in all of Minor League Baseball. The home of the Fisher Cats jumped to the top ranking after rating seventh overall in 2007.

“This is a special honor for our organization and our concessionaire, Centerplate, to make the leap from the most vegetarian-friendly ballpark in Double-A baseball last year to all of Minor League Baseball this season,” said New Hampshire Fisher Cats President/General Manager Rick Brenner. “Different people have different tastes, so we pride ourselves on offering our fans a very diverse menu and want to thank PETA for recognizing our efforts.”

PETA raved about Merchantsauto.com Stadium’s fresh offering of grilled veggie burgers, vegetarian baked beans, veggie wraps, garden salad, grilled veggie sandwiches, grilled portobello burgers, veggie burgers, veggie sausages and veggie dogs. These menu items helped Merchantsauto.com Stadium attain the number one ranking out of 185 Minor League affiliated ballparks.

“We are honored to be recognized by PETA for our ability to cater to our vegetarian fans,” said Centerplate General Manager of Food Services Abby Tucker. “Our entire staff deserves credit for offering a unique menu that suits a wide variety of fans, and we are proud to be known for going above and beyond the traditional ballpark fare.”

“Animal-friendly and health-conscious Fisher Cats ‘fanatics’ truly appreciate the great vegetarian food for sale at the stadium – as do the cows, chickens, fish and pigs whose lives are spared,” said Chris Holbein, Senior Special Products Coordinator of PETA.
