PETA doesn’t want you to have that hot dog at the game. They don’t want you to set up a grill to tailgate in the parking lot. Basically, they don’t want you to have any fun at a football game. And now to make it easier for you to not have fun, they’ve ranked the top five most vegetarian friendly NFL stadiums. And with a combined record of 25-34-1, it’s not hard to wonder if those five teams are getting enough protein.

Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego took the top spot, for their “bean burritos, veggie sushi rolls, vegetable wraps, veggie hot dogs, and Gardenburgers.” I’m not surprised that San Diegans are watching their figures; most just use sporting events as an excuse to get a base tan. But the other ones on the list, including two perennial contenders for the fattest city in America, leave me scratching my head.

CHARGERS WELCOME TO PLAY; SD HIGH SCHOOLS AREN’T: San Diego’s mayor says the Chargers’ home field will be ready for them on Sunday. Now it’s up to the team if they want to play there:

THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE reports that Mayor Jerry Sanders has said Qualcomm Stadium will be available for the Chargers’ contest against the Houston Texans. “It’s their decision to play in San Diego or not.”The team and the NFL have yet to make a decision on the future of the game. Texans coach Gary Kubiak has said he was told that the game would happen in San Diego, but on Monday night.

The stadium has been used as an evacuation center for area folks fleeing the wildfires around the region. However, Sanders said that Qualcomm will be closed to evacuees by Friday.

At one point, over 10,000 people sought shelter at the stadium, but now only 400 remain.Even with calming winds helping firefighters fight the blazes, many other athletic events in San Diego have been canceled. San Diego State’s football game against BYU was postponed until December.

And now all high school sports events in the region have been called off, from football to cross country. San Diego Section Commissioner Dennis Ackerman says the contests will not be made up.

43 gridiron games were scheduled this weekend, including may homecoming contests. But considering the situation, most students and fans just want their homecoming to be to a house that’s still standing.*UPDATE*: Chargers will play on Sunday as scheduled.

WRITER UNCONCERNED W/RICH ATHLETES FLEEING FIRE: With wildfires raging all around San Diego, you’ll be happy to know that Phil Mickelson’s family made it safely to their beach house. But a Portland columnist isn’t so concerned:

Ryan White of the OREGONIAN takes issue with sports news outlets devoting front-page space to wealthy athletes during times of trouble, while others less fortunate are suffering just as much, if not more.White was particularly irked by ESPN, as the Worldwide Leader slapped the Mickelson beach house saga on their main web page, along with the other stories about the wildfire situation.

“If the fire wins, he won’t have any trouble rebuilding. He and his family didn’t have to retreat to Qualcomm Stadium and sleep in the concourse.”

White says he has no qualms with Mickelson in particular, but questions if rich athletes deserve more sympathy for losing their mansions than other less wealthy victims losing their entire livelihoods.”When it comes to stories of personal loss, sometimes it’s best to let the story and the pictures play out without reference to the super-millionaires who perform for our entertainment. It’s not that they matter less, but in times like these they also don’t matter more.”
