    The field’s green, their uniforms green, and its now time for the Philadelphia Eagles to go a lot greener! The team will proudly flaunt a green renewable-energy-powered stadium in the near future. Starting next season, the team’s home stadium will begin juicing up using 100 percent on-site generated renewable energy, cleaning up its act and going eco-friendly. The stadium, the Lincoln Financial Field, will have 80 spiral wind turbines installed on its rim and 2,500 solar panels covering its façade. Also, the stadium will boast a 7.5 Megawatt biofuel co-generation system and to top it all, a high-tech control system that will balance out energy generation from these sources.


    Installation for this $30 million project will be carried on by Florida-based SolarBlue. The Philadelphia Eagles will save up to $60 million in the next 20 years with these installations! Here’s wishing the Eagles a green great season ahead!
