Seals Stadium 1946 Aerial (or just a cool historic aerial tool)

I spend a good deal of my job researching historic aerials for various projects. While screwing around with this site's kick ass coverage tool I came across Seals Stadium. The link takes you to the 1946 image, but you can view images between 1931 and 2005 and even compare two years using a nifty swipe tool. Even if you don't care to see a long gone stadium, I'm sure you can waste some time looking around at different stuff. You can buy an image for $20 if for whatever reason you really dig one.
