Could Arrowhead Stadium go solar?

Arrowhead Stadium is an open-air bowl, so only the ring of canopies over its stands counts as measurable roof — roughly 7,600 square metres in Kansas City. That ring could in theory hold about 2,400 panels, near 941 kWp. With some 1,645 sunshine hours a year, the Kansas City Chiefs' home might generate an estimated 1.2–1.5 million kWh, comparable to around 500 homes.
