No Meat Three-Peat at Citizens Bank Park

For the third year in a row, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has named Citizens Bank Park the most vegetarian-friendly ballpark in the U.S.

Serving mock-meat on their home turf clearly has not had any effect on the Phils' ability to emerge victorious on the field -- they are, after all, reigning World Series champs -- but Citizens Bank has done such a good job of catering to vegetarian and vegan fans with items like crab-free crabcake sandwiches and garden burgers that PETA has bestowed their top honors on the ballpark.

Citizens' Bank edged out the San Francisco Giants' AT&T Park and the Colorado Rockies'  Coors Field for first place, while the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field (ahem, cough, cough) only garnered an honorable mention from PETA.

Vegetarians don't have to feel left out on dollar dog nights either - vegan dogs are offered as part of the promotion as well.
