The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been a main driver of this trend. In order to successfully bid to host the Olympic Games, the IOC requires host cities to include environmental protection measures in their facilities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to recent research released by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seia.org\/research-resources\/solar-win-study-solar-us-professional-sports\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solar Energy Industries Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, more than 46 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity are operating across 37 professional sports facilities nationwide. \u201cEvery leading sports league in the United States, including the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, NASCAR and IndyCar boast solar assets. A third of the NFL stadiums in the U.S. have a solar system, with the MLB and NBA not far behind with 30 percent each.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Across the country, professional sports facilities are relying on solar for significant portions of their energy usage. One of the largest solar venues in North America is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which hosts the Indy 500. This venue is powered by approximately 40,000 solar panels amounting to a capacity of 9,000 kWp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/image2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8496 alignright\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/image2-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Top Commercial Solar PV Systems in Sports Venues<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the top U.S. professional sports teams and arenas boasting a commercial solar PV system include: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sacramento Kings &#8211; Golden 1 Center<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indy Car &#8211; Indianapolis Motor Speedway<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington Capitals\/Wizards &#8211; Capital One Arena<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philadelphia Eagles &#8211; Lincoln Financial Field<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NASCAR &#8211; Pocono Raceway<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daytona 500 &#8211; Daytona International Speedway<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington Redskins &#8211; FedEx Field<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atlanta Falcons &#8211; Mercedes-Benz Stadium<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boston Bruins &#8211; TD Garden<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New England Patriots &#8211; Gillette Stadium<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/image1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8495 alignright\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/image1-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Big Game<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super Bowl LIII will take place at Atlanta\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/mercedesbenzstadium.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercedes-Benz Stadium<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a one-of-a-kind venue and home to the NFL&#8217;s Atlanta Falcons.
