Could Lincoln Financial Field go solar?

Lincoln Financial Field is already one of the greenest grounds in American sport: roughly 11,000 real solar panels line its south facade and car parks, joined by 14 rim-mounted wind turbines fitted with NRG in 2013, offsetting about a third of the Eagles' energy. On the roof itself — some 15,000 square metres — a further array could take about 5,200 panels, near 2.1 MW, for an estimated 2.6–3.1 million kWh.
