NRG at FedExField for the Washington Football Team
Landover, Maryland
Design Achievement
DLR Group partnered with NRG Energy, a Fortune 500 company, to develop a large-scale solar array at FedExField, the home stadium of the Washington Football Team. The design approach for this project focuses on the future of renewable energy application and production. DLR Group's design seamlessly integrates the solar system into the stadium's architecture, creating an aesthetic that enhances the overall game experience for fans. Notable features of the solar system include an NRG branded entry gate, a dynamic LED lighting system that illuminates the facade of a pedestrian entrance ramp, and a 30-foot tall silhouette of a quarterback known as "Solar Man." Signage elements incorporated into the campus draw inspiration from the stadium's original architecture, ensuring a cohesive visual identity.
