Google Maps' Street View captures University Park, including stadium
1/21/10
Penn State's University Park campus is now one of the first universities available for virtual walk-throughs using the Street View feature of Google Maps. Google Street View visited the campus with the Google "Trike" three times from October 2008 through August 2009 to collect 360-degree digital imagery around a majority of University Park's high-traffic sidewalks, as well as a special trip through the Nittany Lions' tunnel and onto the turf of Beaver Stadium. Now Web users nearly anywhere can see what it looks like to enter the stadium from the perspective of a Nittany Lion football player or Blue Band member, take a stroll down the Pattee Mall, sit on the steps of Old Main and visit the Bryce Jordan Center.
