Merck Stadium at the Böllenfalltor achieved 16th place in Peta-Ranking 2025
Darmstadt. The animal rights organization PETA has published a ranking of the vegan-friendly stadiums in the Bundesliga for the 15th time-and has also taken into account the 2nd Bundesliga for the first time since 2019. According to the organization, the Merck Stadium at the Böllenfall goal , home of SV Darmstadt 98, ends with 13 points in 16th place -together with 1. FC Heidenheim. Compared to the previous year (eight points), according to PETA, this represents an improvement.
According to PETA, vegetable kebab, bowls and hot dogs are among the vegan offers in the stadium. The evaluation was based on a survey of the clubs. There were points for fully-fledged vegan dishes such as falafel wraps or pasta dishes, while simple snacks such as fries or pretzels were rated with one point. Products such as chips, popcorn or chocolate bars did not flow into the rating.
According to the PETA, FC Schalke 04 is the leader in this year.
Background for evaluation
PETA understands the evaluation as part of her commitment to an animal -friendly way of life. The aim is to raise awareness of herbal nutrition - both in everyday life and in professional sports. The communication of the organization states that a vegan diet can "promote faster recovery after intensive stress" and also corresponds to the desire of many fans for more sustainability.
