Cleveland Indians Team Up with Cleveland Clinic for Healthier Ballpark Menu

You can still get your nachos, but now you'll have healthier options too.

Eating at the ballpark used to mean hot dogs, hamburgers, greasy fries, and nachos loaded with cheese. Now, with more consumers concerned and conscious of the foods that they are eating, there has been an increased demand for a healthier ballpark menu. Recognizing this, the Cleveland Indians teamed up with the Cleveland Clinic to create a new, healthier menu of choices for those heading down to Progressive Field this season.

Under the new Go! Foods program, Progressive Field will begin serving foods that have zero grams of trans fat; less than four grams per serving of saturated fat, added sugars or syrups; 100% whole grains; and 600 milligrams or less of sodium.

Before you say "yuck", we've been assured that the foods actually taste good, despite missing all those staples of delicious, not-good-for-you dishes. The Cleveland Clinic has tested the food for taste, so we're pretty confident that you won't be eating snacks that taste like cardboard if you venture to try one of the new healthy food options.

Some of the example dishes that will be available include: vegetable chili, salmon sliders, sweet potato "fries", chocolate bars, grilled chicken breasts, and frozen banana chips dipped in dark chocolate.

Considering that the Indians' home opener also happens to fall on Good Friday (April 10), practicing Catholics might even be pleased by the non-meat options that these new menu choices will bring.

At Progressive Field, the menu will be available in suites, the Terrace Club, the Club Lounge, and a new concessions stand near Gate A in Section 162.
