A good way to keep up with the vintage of the images around Lafayette is to look at River Ranch. Google's current images are probably about 4-6 years old, becasue many of the Apartments and homes in that area weren't built at the time they were shot, but, the City Club and some of the homes in that area, as well as the CVS on the corner of KS Rd and Camelia Blvd are built.

I know the ones of McNeese are post-Rita 2005 or 2006. You can tell by looking at Cowboy Stadium. Laying on the edge of the track stadium, you can see the light standard that was taken down after it was damaged by Hurricane Rita.

_ It is centered. On the right side what you can't see is part of the logo which is red and black. They decided to do it this way so the whole logo would be centered. Not only the letters. _

The wing tipped Ragin' Cajuns is off center, a comet located by corona and tail coordinates would have me gazing through a mist. Have no fear Cajun fans all this means is UL will kick some tail from here on out.

How often Google updates depends on where you are. I know there have been some recent updates in some parts of Houston. All areas affected by Rita and Katrina have been updated and you can change overlays to switch from pre and post storm images. New Orleans has been updated with high resolution images since Katrina. You can get down to an eye level of about 300 feet beefore it starts to get grainy. You can see people walking (maybe even a drug deal or two if you know where to look). While this may be good, it does show some highly detailed images of water treatment plants and chemical plants that I don't think needs to be out there in the public. (If you know what to look for you can see chlorine handling facilities at the water plants).

I hope that the Lafayette area gets updated soon as i think all of the area is pre Katrina images and is of relatively low resolution.

Good stuff, I liked the colors over the student section better when they were like that. Also, we need to build a walkway on the north side connecting the home and away seating, like the one on the south side and it would look nice to build the lower level seating hips around to match the ones on the visitor/general admission seating side. That way it would allow for more seating and still keep a portion of the grass. Eventually we could add the suite boxes to cover the student side. Sure would look nice....

That is from Mardi Gras a few years back. Whew!!!! I just had flashbacks. If you move the map to in front of Joey's you will see an old camper with a tent all tore up in front of it. That was a rough night!! Ahhhh GOOD TIMES!!!
