ARMOUR SQUARE — If you’re a vegetarian, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy catching a ballgame at Sox Park. Or at least the food selection.

That’s because the famed South Side ballpark recently made PETA’s list of Top 10 Vegetarian-Friendly Ballparks of 2015.

"From its tomato bisque soup to its hot Asian buns with vegetables, U.S. Cellular Field offers a powerful line-up of cruelty-free fare to meet any fan's tastes," Kenneth Montville, PETA's senior campaign strategist, said in a statement.

PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, puts out the list every year, assessing the vegan and vegetarian options at every major league ballpark.

On game day at Sox Park, you can snag vegetarian dishes such as vegan hot dogs and burgers and potato-filled pierogies. In the ballpark’s catered suites, you can order up vegetable and tofu flat breads and a vegan sloppy Jane.

According to this year’s lists, giving Sox Park the No. 10 spot, National League stadiums have an edge when it comes to vegetarian cuisine.

Here’s a look at teams that made the list:

10. U.S. Cellular Field (Chicago White Sox)

9. Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox)

8. Coors Field (Colorado Rockies)

7. PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates)

6. AT&T Park (San Francisco Giants)

5. Citi Field (New York Mets)

4. Petco Park (San Diego Padres)

3. Nationals Park (Washington Nationals)

2. Citizens Bank Park (Philadelphia Phillies)

1. Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers)
