Astrobot Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Looks like I'm looking into ground zero and there's a giant ghost frog with a bikini down there... I wish I had $1 for every time I've seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Google earth like 6 months ago and looked at the stadium and this picture is different. The old photo was when the endzones were red, you could also see the color of the seats too. Kind of odd that it would get changed like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of odd that it would get changed like that. 781134[/snapback] the arms of the NFL have a very long reach... zoom in really close and you can see the yellow dashed lines around the sideline on the old bright green turf... but you are correct, when i searched for the ralph last year, you could see things in color and zoom in very close to the old helmet at the 50. I distinctly remember this because i searched for the ralph and the hsbc before i even searched for my house. Someone should look up other stadiums to see if this is the same phenominon. I nominate ieatcrayonz to look up the RCA dome, and everyone else to look up the other 30 stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Obviously TD took it with him when he left. It's the super-secret reason Peter King doesn't believe in Marv, Jauron and JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they picked the Fighting Banana Slug. Personally, I think they made the wrong choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also,if you pan up to Galleria Mall there appears to be remnants of a snow pile in the parking lot.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I love that site. Man, I keep thinking how cool it'd be if they built a new waterfront stadium on the land between rte 5 and Lake Erie in Lackawanna. Huge wasteland sitting idle, and in the winter, weather would be FEROCIOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 It appears google maps actually ipdated some stuff. I looked at my house again, as the old picture was when we were re-doing (summer '02) the driveway. Now when i look the driveway is done, but the back porch is torn up from when we re-did that. Which puts the timeline sometime in the Spring of 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fires Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 From what I understand, there's a company based in Rochester which did alot of those aerial photos for local live. http://www.pictometry.com/default.asp Must be a Bills fan or 2 working there and they threw that pic in there..
