Charlotte Knights News Release
(Uptown Charlotte, NC) - On Wednesday, August 6, the Charlotte Knights will host their first of two "Peanut-Controlled Games" at BB&T Ballpark this season. Fans with peanut allergies will be able cheer on the Knights in the team's "Peanut-Controlled Zone" where sales of peanuts will be halted in that section and fans will not be allowed to consume peanut products in that area.
"We wanted to make sure that those with peanut allergies have their chance to enjoy a game at BB&T Ballpark this season," said Knights COO Dan Rajkowski. "Our hope is that these two games will provide those fans and families with peanut allergies a chance for a safe and enjoyable game in Uptown Charlotte."
