The Dallas Cowboys, a team with rich traditions and a deep connection to its fanbase, continues to innovate in the fan experience. New “Plant-Based Touchdown” food offerings at AT&T Stadium are a testament to their commitment to meeting the diverse tastes and dietary needs of fans. Vegan, vegetarian and healthy menu options will be available for the 2024 NFL season, beginning with the pre-season game against the Los Angeles Chargers on August 24, and officially launch at the home opener against the New Orleans Saints on September 15.
The Dallas Cowboys work with the Paul Quinn College WE Over Me Farm, integrating fresh, locally sourced produce into these health-conscious options. This partnership supports ongoing efforts to combat chronic illnesses by encouraging a plant-based diet. This seasons’ plant-based and healthy options include:
