I would say a Royals game, look at the cars parked at the K, nothing at Arrowhead.

If you look really close, you can see Bob Dole sunbathing naked in his back yard.

Nice find pez

There is way too many cool things to find! I love how easy it is to access too.. Screw Mapquest and yahoo maps forever now...

The company producing these shots is Digitalglobe, in Colorado... I have buddies that still work there so I need to ask them for full resolution images...

This is new to Google, but it's not new technology. As people have mentioned, Microsoft's terraserver has been doing it for years. Google recently acquired Keyhole and integrated that technology into it's maps application.

The huge advancement here, as with most things Google, is in the user interface. Their use of Ajax (XMLHttpRequest) here is brilliant.

many of these images are from 1997, the same ones from terraserver. you can see where the newer, clearer ones begin. keyhole is a pay service and its been out for a little while.

Sweet. It's clearly using some much more recent photos than Terraserver, what with Autozone Park and FedExForum (albeit under construction) in the photo. Must have been around winter 2003, since the Forum was pretty far along and the grass (see the berm at AZP or just right of FEF) is brown.
