For my 40th birthday I experienced a first; I attended my first NFL football game. Rob and I were able to attend the Philadelphia Eagles vs Tennessee Titans at Lincoln Financial Field on November 23rd. Philadelphia fans are notorious for being aggressive and rowdy especially to opposing teams so we were a tad nervous walking up to the stadium. As you can see Rob is a Titans fan.
We supported our hometeam too by wearing Connor Barwin jerseys. He’s my football crush this year and somehow I’ve wrangled Rob into watching his plays too. Barwin plays with so much heart and passion, he’s becoming a leader on the field. That’s the kind of player I look up to.
Being at the stadium to watch the game was so much fun and we never felt like we were going to be bothered by being Titans fans. In fact in our section there were about 6 other Titans fans proudly displaying their hats, jersey’s and blankets.
The Lincoln Financial Field is a fairly new addition to the area, just opening in 2003. It’s one of the most state of the art sports complexes out there. It’s part of the largest solar array in the area and the biggest of any other stadium housing 11,000 solar panels and 14 wind turbines; generating more than 3MW of power. That’s 4times more than they can use in a season so the renewable energy is sold back to the area.
Not only are the solar panels functional they are visually stunning making the “Linc” a gorgeous landmark for Philadelphia. All of the visually-stunning panels and turbines NRG Energy brought to life at Lincoln Financial Field are important to the future of energy, with each panel and turbine serving as a tangible representation of the clean energy solutions NRG champions in our communities.
The partnership between the Philadelphia Eagles and NRG Energy is one that is beneficial to everyone involved. They’ve introduced sustainability in a new and attractive way that demonstrates the ability to incorporate a green future that positively affects many.
