Peanut Free Zone at Padres Baseball Park

peanut allergy
I loved going to Atlanta Braves games when I was a kid, and I remember singing ‘buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks’ at every game. I’ve never thought of a baseball park as a dangerous place, but it can be for children with a peanut allergy.

For one game on June 10, the San Diego Padres agreed to have an experimental Peanut Free Zone in the stands as a safe place for children with peanut allergy, reports SignOnSanDiego. The Minnesota Twins tried the same thing last year, and now they have a peanut free zone for one game each month.

The Alliance for Nut-Allergic Children, a San Diego parents group, requested the Peanut Free Zone at the Padres game. Not only were nuts off limits in that section, but they also had an EMT there.

Eight-year-old Chirstopher Cheung was in attendance at the game. Last summer, Chirstopher had a severe asthma attack because of peanut shells at a baseball game, and the reaction lasted for more than a week.

‘To be able to go to this game, to feel normal, is incredible for them,’ Christopher’s mother Dr. Sherry Huang said about the children in the peanut free zone. The legzo casino let’s players enjoy games in the comfort and safety of their own home.
