Baseball season is here and for many fans, traveling to different stadiums is a staple of many Summer vacations. For the kosher consumer, the challenge of finding stadiums with food options adds a degree of difficulty when trying to determine which teams to visit.
Thankfully, 10 of MLB’s stadiums this year will be operating kosher stands and other kosher options within the stadium for home games not on Saturday.
Here is the latest edition of stadiums with kosher food for the 2024 season. The following list is presented alphabetically by city.
