NFL Cowboys Offer Healthy Fan Food

Aug 30, 2024 08:42AM ● By Bernice Butler

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:

Vegan Tostitos Ultimate Nachos: A plant-based twist on a fan favorite. Thick-cut Tostitos tortilla chips are topped with vegan hot nacho cheese sauce, hearty plant-based Texas chili, fresh pico de gallo and jalapeños. Available in Upper Concourse Sections 411 and 441.

Vegan Hot Dog/Chili Dog: This classic stadium treat has been reimagined for vegans. Served on a freshly baked vegan bun, it is topped with hearty vegan Texas chili and melty vegan cheese sauce. Available in Upper Concourse Sections 411 and 441.

Vegan BBQ Sandwich: A delicious plant-based shredded BBQ protein, tossed in tangy BBQ sauce, and served on a freshly baked vegan bun. Available in Upper Concourse Sections 411 and 441.

Vegetarian Cowboys Cheesesteak: A meatless version of the famous Cowboys Cheesesteak, ensuring that vegetarians do not miss out on the game day tradition. Available in Upper Concourse Sections 411 and 441.

Market Berry Chicken Salad: Fresh strawberries and blueberries paired with grilled chicken, feta cheese and candied pecans, all served with a house-made poppy seed dressing. Available at Grab N Go locations—Miller LiteHouse and Upper Concourse Sections 420 and 450.

Strawberry Kiwi Yogurt Parfait: A healthy, refreshing option featuring vanilla Greek yogurt, strawberry purée, fresh strawberries and kiwi, topped with coconut granola. Available at Grab N Go locations—Miller LiteHouse and Upper Concourse Sections 420 and 450.

George Wasai, vice president of food and beverage for Legends Hospitality at AT&T Stadium, says, “The Plant-Based Touchdown program is taking our menu to the next level. We are excited to offer these delicious vegan and vegetarian options to ensure all fans, regardless of dietary preference, can enjoy our game day experience.”
