Campy Posted April 8, 2005 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 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....
Talonz Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Damn, that is a good zoom..I think I can see Bledsoe down on his back around the 30 yard line

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.
mcjeff215 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Click down twice and you'll see the house I grew up in =) Used to love Bills games there.. could hear "Shout!" and the crowd after every score!

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.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I think you can see Hammer walking Buddy the Wonder Dog in that picture...

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?
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 That looks ancient. They should build a new 150,000 seat, retractable roof dome right next to the Skyway.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Either the picture was taken on a day off, or the Cards were playing the Bills...
dib Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 OK boys and girls, is it an old picture, or a recent picture, and how can you tell? (Insert Jeopardy theme here)
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 The new seats were being put in.....so, 1999?......
Hammered a Lot Posted April 8, 2005 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.
Dan Gross Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 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.

Mediaman Posted April 8, 2005 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 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.
