Solar Stadiums

I just posted a new story titled, Taiwan's World Games stadium to use solar and the question it naturally raises is, "Why isn't every sports stadium fitted with some kind of solar technology?"

During the times when the stadium is not in use, the energy from the solar panels could be used to power nearby homes, or be sold back to the grid.

Solar-powered stadiums could also be inviting tourist destinations for engineers interested in touring the facilities. The potential for synergy between stadiums, solar power production, and the city seems enormous.

If you know of other stadiums (from high school stadiums to professional stadiums) anywhere around the world incorporating solar panels into their design and function, please send the link to chris[at]civilizednation.com

If you have photos of the stadium, those would be great too. :-)
