NFL Buys Renewable Energy for Super Bowl XLIII

The NFL has purchased renewable energy from TECO, the power company in Tampa, Florida. While it’s unclear exactly how much of the power used on game day will be green, a spokesman claims the switch will have the same impact as taking 20 cars off the road for a year.

“As you can imagine, the power demands of an NFL stadium and a large event like the NFL Experience are huge,” said Jack Groh, who helped green this year’s big game. “And one way to reduce the carbon footprint, the climate impact of that, is by using renewable power.”
