The Recycled Stadium

When 72,500 University of Washington Husky fans show up to their new stadium this season, they can rest assured that their old stadium has gone to good use: Ninety-six percent of all debris and waste from the stadium project was recycled. Crushed concrete from the existing stadium was used as fill on the current site, the old field itself will be moved to another location, and even the old (and rather hard) aluminum benches might take on a new life as drink bars in the new Husky Stadium (the proposal is still being evaluated).
