Mmmm. Now I\u2019m the volunteer Veggie Happy Manager for the Baltimore Orioles, so you know I\u2019ll be rooting for The Birds on the field\u2026but I\u2019m also cheering for the Bucs\u2019 officials who organized this event. It sounds omazing, as they say at Camdem Yards. I hope the O\u2019s plan to \u201ccontend\u201d with the Pirates next year and hold a vegan party of their own. Can\u2019t hurt to ask.<\/p>\n
Even if you can\u2019t attend the Vegan Night festivities at PNC Park, you can still say \u201cYo Ho Ho\u201d (or at least, \u201cthank you\u201d) to the Pirates for remembering the vegan fans. This isn\u2019t the first time that PNC Park has scored praise for being vegan-friendly. The ballpark even made PETA\u2019s list of the top 10 vegetarian-friendly ballparks in 2015.<\/p>\n
If you can attend the Vegan Night celebration, enjoy and tell me all about it.
