Levi’s Stadium
Levi’s Stadium is home to the San Francisco 49ers. The stadium is currently one of the most environmentally friendly stadiums in the United States. Their solar panel system displays 1,000 solar panels. These panels are enough to power the entire stadiums, while also irrigating the field. The irrigation uses reclaimed water in order to make sure that even the water they are using is eco-friendly. Their efforts have earned them a gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certificate.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium
A year after the Falcons were defeated in the 2017, the Mercedes-Benz stadium installed a 1,300 kWh solar panel system. The entire system has over 4,000 solar panels. These 4,000 solar panels power the entire stadium, for all of the Sunday traffic they receive every weekend during football season. However, their solar panel system does not only power the stadium. The system also powers the neighboring neighborhoods. This has the power to save the stadium, and people outside of the stadium, money.
