Satellite stadium answers...
As a stadium junkie, I should disqualify myself from participation, but here are the answers:
1-New England, 2-Denver*, 3-Pittsburgh*, 4-San Francisco, 5-Los Angeles, 6-Green Bay, 7-Oakland, 8-Miami*, 9-New York*, 10-Kansas City*, 11-Chicago, 12-Washington*, 13-Dallas, 14-St. Louis, 15-Baltimore, 16-Tampa Bay.
Next time, they should make this really hard and take away the clues, which I just realized were there in my second look-through.
*-Broncos, Steelers, Dolphins, Jets, Chiefs, and Redskins didn't play in these stadiums when they won their Super Bowls, all played in previous stadiums (though in cases of Denver & Pittsburgh, they were right next door and technically, the sites are in the photos!). This fact, however, was correctly pointed out by C-Net. For Skins, they should have used pictures of RFK, which is still very much intact a few miles away, and for the Jets, Shea is still standing (such as it is), as is the Orange Bowl (even the satellite could be endangered when taking photos of that neighborhood). Soldier Field is also hardly the same place it used to be. Drive by that thing in Chicago, and it looks like a spaceship landed inside of old Soldier Field, whose White House-like old columns still remain, only with a brand new stadium inside.
Also, check out how massive the old Soldier Field really was from that aerial shot. And Texas Stadium is the closest thing to a dome that really isn't one (I ask anyone who has ever driven by that place to tell me it isn't a dome).
Will Qwest Field have to be added to the list next week? For pure stadium grandeur, this one might be the best of them all.
(P.S.-In my spare time, I look at Google Earth endlessly...I could give you the CFL and many Euro soccer stadiums, too)
