SOUTH BEND, IN - On Sunday, June 3, the South Bend Cubs will once again provide a peanut-free area located in the Owner's Suite for fans and guests who experience peanut related allergies. 

An estimated 15 million Americans suffer from food allergies, according to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). Additionally, 1 in 13 children experience a food allergy. Peanut allergies are among the most common food allergies and, according to studies funded by FARE, the number of U.S. children with peanut allergies more than tripled between 1997 and 2008.
"I am excited that we are able to give fans with peanut allergies the opportunity to come out to Four Winds Field for a game this summer," South Bend Cubs President Joe Hart said. "The last few years were a huge hit and we were able to provide a fun day at the ballpark that many people were not able to experience in the past. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to experience a South Bend Cubs game, so we will do whatever we can to make it a reality."
The peanut-free suite costs $19 per person. Space is limited to the first 40 fans. Price includes a game ticket, South Bend Cubs hat, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and soft drinks. Guests interested in purchasing tickets can call the South Bend Cubs at (574)-235-9988 or stop by the Box Office at Four Winds Field, located at 501 W. South Street. 
"We always have strong attendance from fans at the peanut-free suite. I expect the tickets to sell out quickly," Hart said.
