The CN Tower and Rogers Centre (formerly the Skydome, home of the Blue Jays) are in downtown Toronto, Canada. Look for the tower’s shadow to see its shape.

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.
