An estimated 33 million Americans struggle with food-related allergies, while 6.1 million of that total is connected to peanut vulnerability. Peanut allergies are the most common food allergy in children under age 18 and the third-most common food allergy in adults. A peanut allergy is usually lifelong: only about 20 percent of children with peanut allergy outgrow it over time. According to studies funded by FARE, the number of U.S. children with peanut allergies more than tripled between 1997 and 2008.
“We know this is an important ticket offer to our fans who love to watch the games but had a peanut allergy or have a family member with an allergy,” said South Bend Cubs President Joe Hart. “We make sure all food is prepared in a sterilized prep area that has been properly cleaned to avoid nut contamination. We also make sure the suite has been disinfected and wiped down properly. Our goal is to make sure every fan that comes to Four Winds Field is as comfortable as possible and has an amazing time.”
The peanut free suite costs $30 per person. Space is limited to the first 40 fans. The $30 package includes a game ticket in the South Bend Cubs Owner’s Suite, South Bend Cubs hat, and a two hour all-you-can-eat ballpark buffet. All ages are welcome.
