    Neat offset problem too, you can see part of the stadium to the northeast and if you switch to hybrid mode you see roads running through the stadium.

    That is one of the worst offsets I have seen on Google. Ooops.

    one helluva glitch to the right..

  4. 4. Infinity says:

    Yeah and from the hybrid view it looks like the whole stadium should actually be to the Northeast where the corner is..

  5. 5. Yuval says:

    Google Earth hasn’t got this offset… and the resolution is better (you can easily read the end zones).

    There is another Blue Turf stadium in Minnesota - the Academy of Holy Angels in Edina, MN.

    Strange, I don’t see Matthew Barney and the Goodyear chorus. Oh, well. (Cremaster joke, sorry.)
