Where is this? It has been used as the backdrop in at least one film.

That film was released in 1999 and won an MTV award.

Hi George. No, but it looks European, doesn't it?

Ahhh, how looks are deceiving!

Exactly right, Tico. Which clue helped you figure it out? It is the high school my daughter's bf attended --

According to the Library of Congress's description:

Quote:
...one of the West Coast's first stadiums, the Stadium Bowl, was constructed in 1910. Panoramic photographs, such as one taken in 1913 of a field day celebration there, (below) helped document "America's newfound self-confidence."

"Stadium Day, May 29, 1913." Panoramic silver gelatin print, Tacoma, Wash., 1913. One of the first stadiums on the West Coast, the Stadium Bowl was built in 1910 next to Tacoma High School on a bluff overlooking Commencement Bay. The school had been initially designed in 1891 as a Beaux-Arts hotel by McKim, Mead & White, one of the period's most celebrated architectural firms, but the depression of 1893 suspended construction until 1905, when Frederick Heath reconfigured the project as Tacoma High School.


It is currently being remodeled -- the aerial photo is from the G.C.

The first picture showed something that looked like stairs in the foreground, but couldn't make out what it was. The Library of Congress photo clearly showed people in a stadium. That helped.

It stands on a bluff over Commencement Bay, the largest natural deep-water bay on the west coast.
