NFL Environmental Program

Super Bowl XLIII will mark the 16th year that the NFL has incorporated environmental projects into the management of a professional championship event - a claim unrivaled in all of professional sports.

The Environmental Program has never been about building a green image - it has always been about actually addressing environmental impacts cost effectively and - at the same time - looking for ways to leave a permanent environmental legacy in the host community.

Other projects reduced the overall greenhouse gas impact of Super Bowl related events by using renewable energy to power the University of Phoenix Stadium and the NFL Experience, hybrid vehicles were incorporated into the Super Bowl fleet and travel emissions for both teams and NFL staff and officials was offset through a partnership with Expedia travel.
