Don’t buy me peanuts and Cracker Jack: NJ park offers peanut-free section for allergic fans

Minor league ballpark offers peanut-free section

CAMDEN, N.J. — Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack … except for fans sitting in suite 319.

The minor league Camden Riversharks have designated a peanut-free section at Campbell’s Field to accommodate fans with food allergies.

The special section went into effect Tuesday night when the Riversharks hosted Somerset in the independent Atlantic League.

No peanuts or foods containing peanut products or oils will be offered in that suite, which holds about 25 people. Tickets in that section don’t cost any extra.

The team says it acted in response to requests it has received from fans with peanut allergies, which can cause serious health issues.
