Peanut-Free Baseball Game Guide

Baseball Teams Map1

Having a peanut allergy throws a serious curveball into America’s favorite pastime. While peanuts are synonymous with baseball (buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks — no thanks), we still believe every child with peanut allergies should be able to attend a game safely — and luckily we aren’t alone.

This season 26 out of the 30 Major League teams are offering peanut-free days or peanut-free seating options — special shoutout to the Oakland Athletics who are the first team to offer a peanut-controlled zone for every home game in 2017! Whether in your hometown or along your summer travels, here’s the complete list of peanut allergy-friendly games listed by state and month. For those attending regular games, we’ve also listed tips to navigate regular season games.

⚾ Top Tips For Attending A Regular Season Game ⚾

For the times that peanut-free tickets aren’t available — here are a few tips for managing regular season games.

 1. Go early. This prevents someone from sitting in your seats and potentially eating peanuts.

2. Bring wipes to clean up any peanut residue on seats and a bottle of water to rinse away any peanut shells on the ground. We like Nice ‘n Clean!

3. Even if it is not your normal practice, consider avoiding touching the banisters.

4. Plan for people to be eating peanuts around you. Be prepared to share that you have an allergy and ask them to pass on the peanuts. As a sweetener, consider offering to buy alternative snacks.

5. If you can’t avoid nearby people eating peanuts, look for other fans who would be willing to switch seats.
