  • Eagles' Team Travel
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.

  • A Guide to Recycling at Sports Venues Prepared by January 2011
    A Guide to Recycling at Sports Venues Prepared by United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 January 2011 Prepared by: United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 - Materials Management Branch For more information contact: Briana Bill, [email protected] (312) 353-6646 1 I. INTRODUCTION Events held at sports venues1 generate significant quantities of recyclable materials from a variety of different facility operations. Many of these materials can be collected and stored on-site for pick up relatively easily and inexpensively. Other materials can be more difficult to recycle and may require additional effort, space and cost to manage. Recycling bin in sports arena. In addition to conserving natural resources, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing impacts on the environment, recycling can have economic benefits. Depending on local waste disposal and recycling market conditions, recycling can lead to a reduction in solid waste management costs as revenue is generated from commodities such as cardboard, paper and aluminum. Other materials such as plastic, glass and food waste can be more challenging to manage, especially where space is limited and recycling or composting facilities for these items are not locally available. Other opportunities exist within sports venues to reduce waste generation, such as the use of returnable shipping containers or reuse of incoming product or supply packaging. Most waste reduction practices result in significant cost savings, both in material and shipping costs as well as avoided waste management expenditures. Nearly all sports venues built in the U.S. today are incorporating various design elements aimed at maximizing environmental performance in terms of energy, water and resource conservation.
