Goodbye to the old Shea Stadium, home of the NY Mets since 1964. Make way for Citi Field. The stadium was just a train ride away from the Long Island towns where I spent my childhood. Whether you loved it or hated it architecturally, Shea was beloved by fans. It was an easy place to get to on the LIRR or the #7 Subway, and a safe place to go "unchaperoned" with friends whether for ball games or concerts. Several Web sites have now sprung up chronicling the destruction of the place where Seaver threw, Piazza squatted and George (the Stork) Theodore roamed.
Here's the YouTube of the actual demolition.
