ACL Studio Backdrop Question?

It's a mockup of the Austin skyline behind the stage at the studio. They update it (cranes when constuction is going on, add major buildings) when necessary.

I thought it looked pretty crappy in person, it's amazing how different it appears on TV.
 
The shot they used to have (Which I saw in a statesman article about the show many years ago -- I've never watched the show) was a photograph of downtown taken from the Main Building at St Ed's. In the show-shot, you could see the capitol, but constuction has long since obscured that view in real life.


From the look of the website, it's not a picture at all anymore. Just a mock-up of the city, and I can't tell where the view is supposed to be from, exactly.
