The first stadium is the San Francisco 49er’s Stadium Monster Park (formerly 3com park) (thumbnail #1 below) and it seems they were playing at the moment the photo was taken.

There’s lots of stadiums in this shot of Philadelphia In the North West there’s the Veterans Stadium before it was demolished on March 21, 2004, North East is Citizen’s Bank Park still under construction (opened April 9, 2004) and South East is Lincoln Financial Field (opened August 8, 2003). In the South West is First Union Center & First Union Spectrum, each with large type on the roof.

Lastly we have the amazing Olympic Stadium complex in Montreal (thumbnail #2 below), which was built for the 1976 Summer Olympic Games.

Thanks: sixtoe, Dean, Allen, many others.

A very popular submission has been the The Gateway Arch or rather it’s massive shadow, ‘raydancer’ notes that is it the tallest national monument is the United States at 630 feet and is just as wide. If you look West a bit you’ll find the first of our new category, Stadiums (we’ve got loads to post!). It’s apparently the Busch Stadium (St. Louis Cardinals), although one submitter noted that it is due to be demolished.

“caknuck” also points out the comparison of the highly-developed downtown with the heavily-industrialized & much-poorer East St. Louis, Illinois directly across the river. Finally, “Moxie Dan” points out the Anheuser Busch brewery (the largest beer brewery in the world) is just to the south.
