I knew it.
We live in Metropolis, muthafuckas! Watching Smallville tonight, they had a shot of the "college stadium" where the Metropolis Bulldogs play. Ahhh Metropolis, my home sweet home. The shot looked an awful lot like this:
Not only that, they had scenes shot inside of a domed stadium... the seats were all blue. I wonder how many other "Metropolis" scenes in my favorite guilty pleasure show were shot here.
I do not overlook the delicious coincidence that the google search for metrodome images found this picture on the LEXpix.com website. It's all falling into place.
I also found this dude's post proposing, among other things, that they should put a Daily Planet on the top of 225 South 6th Street (unless he's talking about the shorter building in the foreground).

Anyway, I'm skeptical to think it's "too small", if a 20 foot greenscreen is big enough for Coruscant, Minneapolis + CGI is probably plenty big. I'm just a big homer, a booster of our skyline.

Actually, now that I think about it, it has been said that Metropolis and Gotham are the same size - they're just the light and dark sides of NYC.
