Campy Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Playing around with the google satellite thingy and I stumbled upon this view of the Ralph. It looks cool, but I somehow expected it to look differently. To my eyes, it's easy to see how it's built down into the ground and not up like most other stadiums.

gmac17 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 What I want to know is how much money the guy who owns the lot behind the field house makes. ...we always park there and I'm sure the smartest thing that guy ever did was not sell the land to the bills....

I've actually got a pretty good (and large) screen shot of the RWS area - was going to create a new tailgate map in time for the home opener.

I'm taking all of the road around to family members' homes. I can see the shed my grandfather and I built up when I was ~13. Home. Sick.. Bah.

Campy Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 I've been playing with Google maps for the last 3 days...its amazing. I've actually got a pretty good (and large) screen shot of the RWS area - was going to create a new tailgate map in time for the home opener. 299363[/snapback] That's a great idea! I was surprised that the image of the stadium was so relatively old, with the old turf and red endzones and all. I wonder if they'll ever get around to getting a new image of the stadium with the new turf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 That looks ancient. They should build a new 150,000 seat, retractable roof dome right next to the Skyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammered a Lot Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I would say at least 4 years old. No guard house on OBD, practice turf all the same, not half fake, half real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediaman Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Interesting view of Washington DC area. The white house and other key buildings, all have the roofs "painted over" I guess we aren't allowed to look at whats on the roof of the white house.

SF Bills Fan Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 That is great. I found my house up in eagle heights. Take a look at the area where the old Bethlehem Steel plant was. What an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
