In anticipation of Super Bowl XXXVIII, Space
Imaging released a 1-meter-resolution IKONOS satellite image of
Reliant Stadium, home of
the Houston Texans since 2002 and the NFL's first stadium to have a
retractable roof. Collected on Jan. 19, 2004, the image also shows
Reliant Astrodome (formerly the Houston Astrodome).
The last time Houston hosted a Super Bowl game was in 1974.
