The Philadelphia Eagles recently announced that they are transforming their stadium at Lincoln Financial Field into a ‘green battlefield’ complete with a $30 million renewable wind and solar energy system. The money will be put towards 80 sphere-shaped wind turbines (which will be placed around the top of the stadium) and 2,500 solar panels! All of the stadium’s renewable systems are expected to generate enough energy to power 26,000 homes, and they will reportedly prevent almost 481,000 tons of greenhouse gases.
