Today's waste of time

After seeing the stadium comparison graphic of how UT stadium stacks up against (actually, inside of) Bristol Motor Speedway, I decided to see how our opponent's stadiums would look stacked on Death Valley, using satellite photos.

I knew DV was more "sloped" than a lot of the bigger stadiums, but you can really see it here. Especially considering how WB and Sanford hold about the same but are more compact.

Wouldn't that make DV appear smaller?

I'm sure the angle at which some of these aerial pictures were taken distorts the stadium size. The plane could also be at slightly different altitudes.

You may have a point with the angle. But the stadium is correct size since the playing field is the standard. If you look all the fields they are zoomed in to the correct size which makes the stadium size accurate.

Seriously, the track around the field? It looks like a high school stadium.

You think you will add anymore stadiums for comparison? Thinking places like Penn St., The Big House, OSU, and Oregon's stadium would be neat to see compared.
