(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) - On Tuesday, July 7, the Charlotte Knights will host a "Peanut-Free Game" at BB&T Ballpark -- giving fans with peanut allergies a chance to cheer on their team in a "peanut-free" environment. The Knights will host the Durham Bulls in a 7:05 p.m. game and all sales of peanuts will be halted at the ballpark that entire evening.
"We understand that peanuts are staple at the ballpark, but we want to be able to offer our fans with peanut allergies a chance to enjoy a game in a peanut-free setting," said Knights Chief Operating Officer Dan Rajkowski.
