In the summer of 2004 pranksters used herbicide to trace the outline of a giant phallus in the football field located inside Harman-Geist Stadium in Northeastern Pennsylvania. When the grass died, the phallus became visible.
Maintenance crews did their best to hide the phallus by painting it green, but eventually the paint wore away. And now the prank has succeeded in
reaching an even wider audience, thanks to satellite technology.
Overhead satellite imagery of the stadium -- and giant phallus -- has shown up on google maps. You can see it for yourself by searching for the address
"300 N. Cedar St., Hazleton, Pa." and then zooming in to see the stadium.
An interesting thing I noticed. One of the streets leading to the stadium is called Shaft Rd., which seems very appropriate.
The organization that does the satellite imagery says that it plans to resurvey that region in early 2009. Until then, the football-field phallus will remain on google maps.
