Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Another Stadium with Large Type in the end zone is the Donald W. Reynolds Stadium. The south end reads “Razorbacks” as this is the home of the Arkansas Razorbacks but the north end seems to read “SAS” - anyone know why?
Update: As a couple of people noted in the comments the north end zone normally reads “Arkansas”. The photo was probably taken as the text was being repainted.

“Arkansas” in the satellite photo of Razorback Stadium may simply be cutoff.
Perhaps the satellite just happened to pass while the crew was in the midst of painting, chalking, or however one puts markings on a football field these days.
I agree with Stan, since the SAS is to one side.
Jonathan is correct. The SAS is the last part of “Arkansas” in one end zone and “Razorbacks” in the other.
This photo is a couple of years old. About two-thirds of the long, narrow parking about a block to the northeast of the stadium, and most of the grassy area adjacent to it on the right (with the two diagonal sidewalks crossing it) have been replaced by a complex of student housing apartments and a health center.
