MSU Concessions needs to offer more vegetarian food

As a proud MSU alumna with season football tickets, I pride myself on bleeding green and white!

I enjoy going to games each fall, as well as to the occasional basketball or hockey game, but I’m really disappointed that MSU Concessions does not offer veggie burgers and veggie dogs for vegetarians and vegans at most of the sporting events.

Last fall, I had the opportunity to attend an MSU football game at the University of Minnesota on Halloween and was so excited to be able to have a veggie burger with all the fixings. It made me think:

“Why can’t MSU offer the same or better options for its vegetarian fans?”

As a student, I had many options within the residence halls. Why aren’t those options extended to our sporting venues as well?

As a world-class university and research institution, I think MSU is a pioneer for change and was really glad when the recycling program was implemented at Spartan Stadium a few years ago.

If we don’t see these types of ideas implemented at the universities, where will we see them?
Go Green!
