Last week the Philadelphia Eagles announced that they would be retrofitting their home stadium Lincoln Financial Field into something much more green. And while the eco-friendly makeover won’t be completed until September of next year, the football club has released a pair of concept images that show what the stadium will look like.
The images show the 80, spiral shaped wind turbines that will be mounted along the edges of the stadium’s roof, while large solar panel installations will be located on the exterior of the building. The whole installation will cost an estimated $30 million, but is also expected to save the club nearly $60 million in energy savings over its lifespan.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell believes that the Eagles will be just the first of many NFL clubs to go initiate this type of environmentally friendly stadium upgrade. “The NFL is one of the most competitive clubs in the world,” he said. “That’s because our clubs are competitive with one another.”
