With NFL and NCAA football both in high gear, we thought we'd take a look at various football-related resources in Google Earth.
A few years back, Google showed off all of the 245 NCAA football stadiums, many of which are in 3D. You can explore them yourself using this KML file.
Another way to see them is by viewing some of the stadium collections on EarthSwoop, which allow you to fly from stadium to stadium via the Google Earth Plug-in: ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, PAC 10, SEC and the entire NFL.
Speaking of the NFL, it's worth checking out Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. It hosted the Super Bowl earlier this year, and it's an amazing model. Read more about it, check it out with this KML file, or watch the video that Google produced to help you explore it:
If you're looking to play some football, you can check out the Google Earth-based football game that I created a few years ago. I'm sure it could be done better with the Google Earth Plug-in now, but it's still pretty fun.
Are there any other great football-related resources that should be added to the list?
