Aerial Stadium Shots

[FlyingPhotog]

Flying into HOU back in June we had an unusual approach that took us over the world's oldest and newest domed stadiums. I was pretty impressed with the metering of my D70 so it didn't over-expose the white roofs. Anyone else have any stadium shots from the air?

Reliant Stadium and The Astrodome

Well the structure is a landmark so they can't demolish it. They have thought about putting a casino, offices, shopping center and even apartment homes in it. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Apartment homes??? What about the people that live in the middle...No windows?

I know, that's probably the most odd concept of them all.

I think that Pro Players stadium near Miami.

Ok technically its still Pro Player stadium but they went out of business. It will always be Joe Robbie Stadium or "Da Joe"
Anyways its where the Mami Dolphin, Florida Marlins, and FAU Owls play.
