RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Baseball fans seeking vegetarian options don’t have to stick with peanuts and Cracker Jacks at two North Carolina ballparks.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has named the 10 minor league parks in the country with the best dining options for people who abstain from eating meat.

Durham Bulls Athletic Park secured fifth place for its tofu burritos and black-bean burgers. Five County Stadium in Zebulon, home of the Carolina Mudcats, came in at ninth place for options like fresh fruit and vegetarian hot dogs.

New York was the only other state with two ballparks highlighted by PETA.

The teams will receive a framed certificate from the Virginia-based animal rights group, which says the fare served at the ballparks shows vegetarian food can be popular with sports fans.
