2016-09 Google Image11.jpg They've updated Street View also. Some of it is 09-2016, not a game-day.

I'm using both in Chrome on a PC and still have an empty 2014 stadium. How do you update?

[edit] Duh. You have to use Chrome.

Still ain't working for me.
I'm using Firefox 53.0.03 (I'm on the Release Channel). Just a guess here but if you close out Google Earth and then reload it, you may get an updated satellite image from the Google Earth Server (and maybe not!).
EDIT: Just discovered that you need to have "3-D Buildings" unchecked under Layers in Google Earth. Then it works, no problem.

I see it using the Google Maps app on my phone but using a web browser I get an empty stadium pre-SEZ.

What's the status of the 'green space' project south of the endzone? I haven't heard anything about that for a long time.

Here's a link to the master plan although that doesn't really answer your question. I'm unsure when they'll do more work on the north side of the gardens. As of now I believe the Hillside Garden on the west side is complete or extremely close to it and they've already started the groundwork on the southern end for the changes there.

I remember looking at that last year. I just looked again and realized how much high $ parking they are giving up.

That photo doesn't seem quite right when it comes to the parking just south of the stadium. It shows almost no parking, but I thought the only loss of parking was the S-3 lot for greenspace.

Here's a side-by-side comparison I believe the master plan has a 20yr timeline goal so they could definitely plan to cut further into the parking later on even though it would alter what they've already changed. But, you're right. The overall curvature doesn't quite line up right now. Still, it looks like the plan is to cut further into parking where the new entrance/round-a-bout will be.
