Google Launches Street View Imagery For All 12 World Cup Stadiums In Brazil

Google, of course, is continuously adding new imagery to Street View and over the years, it’s launched images of numerous stadiums, too.

This time around, the company says that it hopes to create something akin to a “digital legacy of the 2014 tournament for years to come” by creating these images of the World Cup stadiums and the streets around it. That seems like a bit much, given how many photos and videos people will take of these venues in the next few weeks, but for those of us who will be watching the games on TV, the images will at least give us some sense of their scale. Then, in four years, Google will surely return and take images of all the Olympic venues in Brazil, too, but maybe by that time, we’ll all be wearing our VR helmets to experience them.
