Citizens Bank Park is ranked #2 (again) by PETA

For the second year in a row, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals named Citizens Bank Park the No. 2 ballpark in Major League Baseball for its vegetarian-friendly food. It lost out the top spot this year to Dodger Stadium.

PETA loves the home of the Phillies, awarding the ballpark first place on its list six times in the last nine years. Last year's #1 ballpark, AT&T Park in San Francisco, slipped to sixth place this year in rankings announced Aug. 4.

PETA praises Aramark's vegan wild mushroom and tofu cheesesteak and the three-bean vegetarian chili - both new additions to Harry the K's Broadcast Bar & Grille. "Vegan black bean burgers, 'chicken' patties, and many other tasty options are also available to fans in the stands, while the Diamond Club offers a vegan farmer's market station as well as a vegan ginger, soy, and lime salad that's served with romaine lettuce, napa cabbage, roasted mushrooms, and crispy noodles," the animal-rights group says.

PETA notes that while it's been "a rebuilding year" for the Phils, "the same can't be said for Citizens Bank Park."

After Dodger Stadium and Citizens Bank Park, the ranking was: the Nationals' Nationals Park, the San Diego Padres' Petco Park, the New York Mets' Citi Field, AT&T Park, the Pittsburgh Pirates' PNC Park, the Colorado Rockies' Coors Field, the Boston Red Sox's Fenway Park, and the Chicago White Sox's U.S. Cellular Field.

PETA also ranked the top vegetarian-friendly AA minor league ballparks. Leading the pack is the New Britain Rock Cats' New Britain Stadium, followed by the Tulsa Drillers' ONEOK Field, the Biloxi Shuckers' MGM Park, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos' Pensacola Bayfront Stadium, and the Erie SeaWolves' Jerry Uht Park.

Citizens Bank Park will receive a framed certificate from PETA.
