Philadelphia Eagles’ Stadium Is Becoming Energy Self-Sufficient - NYTimes.com


Philadelphia Eagles’ Stadium Is Becoming Energy Self-Sufficient - NYTimes.com: "But a growing number of sports buildings from Boston to Los Angeles are becoming efficient in other ways, by saving energy and reducing waste with solar panels, low-flush toilets and composting.

On Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles announced perhaps the most ambitious green initiative yet: the installation of about 2,500 solar panels, 80 20-foot-high wind turbines and a generator that runs on natural gas and biodiesel so that Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles’ home, will be the first stadium capable of generating all its own electricity."
