Fielder's Choice: 2013 Gluten-Free Guide to Major League Baseball Ballparks

Citizens Bank Park's new gluten-free stand

More ballparks than ever have dedicated gluten-free concession stands and carts, including a new one right here in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. Major-league stadiums in Baltimore and Minnesota have more gluten-free fare this season. Many concessionaires offer more than just bunless franks and burgers; there's everything from cheesesteaks to fish and chips.

Many teams are sponsoring Celiac Awareness Nights this season, with expanded gluten-free options available at many of those games. They include the New York Mets (April 28), Boston Red Sox (June 8), Detroit Tigers (June 17), Seattle Mariners (June 28), New York Yankees (July 12), Colorado Rockies (July 20), Arizona Diamondbacks (Aug. 10),  Philadelphia Phillies (Aug. 16), San Diego Padres (Aug. 24), Los Angeles Dodgers (Aug. 30) and Chicago White Sox (Sept. 28).
