<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for 15 green sports venues]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Scottwpp http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-07-15-green-sports-venues/ Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:03:54 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-07-15-green-sports-venues/1 It's about time more pro teams and their multi-million dollar stadiums are becomming greener each year. Of course I'm a little biased since my team the Eagles is a doing nice job in saving energy.


Now, with all the money they are saving (LOL), can they please get a big time reciever!

Where is the SF Giants and Oakland Coliseum? Both are centrally located and easily accesible by public transit. Both have very aggerssive recycling programs and divert TONS and TONS of recyclables. Also -- instead of being used for just 1 season a year, Oakland Arena/Coliseum is used for football, basketball, baseball, and dozens of concerts and events. The Giants AT&T Park hosted over 400 events in 2007! Not bad far a venue that holds over 40,000 people.
