Nut allergies aren't a game... not even in Baseball

It brings such joy to know kids of all ages will be able to sing "take me out to the ball game" again, and mean it. The Toronto Blue Jays may not 'always' be the greatest on the scoreboard, but they will be the greatest aid to allergy awareness!
 
Over the past few years the number of allergen-free sports section events has been on the rise. Giving patrons with food based allergies more relief to be in public and watch their favourite sports live! This list includes Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets, White Sox, San Francisco Giants & our own Toronto Blue Jays!
The Toronto Blue Jays are pleased to offer families dealing with life threatening allergies a dedicated, comfortable and safe seating zone from which to enjoy the game. The Executive Lounge, which holds up to 80 people, will be cleaned in advance and devoted to the exclusive use of families who live with peanut/nut and other severe allergies. When the program was first announced in 2008, 40% of tickets for the first three dates sold out in two days.
Tickets for the Executive Lounge, located near Gate 3, are $45 per person (tax included). Families will be allowed to bring some approved snacks into the suite, as well as have the option to purchase specially selected food and beverage items. During these games, peanut and nut-based snacks will not be permitted into the Executive Lounge.
