and the world is made of energy and the world is electricity ⚡️

Week 1 MNF! ✈️ 🦬

Editor’s Note: We’re 5-0 ATS this season.

Butte Community College alumni, Aaron Rodgers, makes his debut tonight as a New York Jet.

BCC was the first college in the United States to be "grid-positive." This means that the college generates more clean energy from its solar panels and other renewable sources than it consumes.

Financial Field, home to the Philadelphia Eagles, leads the league with eleven thousand solar panels on the stadium and over parking lots have a capacity of 3 megawatts.

This covers about 33% of the stadium's energy use annually and more than enough energy to power the home games for a year, a team spokesperson said in an email.

That’s not the only type of energy at stadiums. Guinness World Records adjudicator Philip Robertson certifies the Seattle Seahawks as the loudest NFL fanbase with a record-breaking 137.6 decibel cheer.

The NFL initially tried to control crowd noise but later embraced the energetic atmosphere. In-helmet wireless headsets were introduced in 1994 to allow teams to communicate despite the noise.

In 1994, the Messier-led Rangers won their first Stanley Cup in 54 years. The Jets' current Super Bowl drought stands at 54 years.
