The last sunset over Shea - Shea Demolition Overview from Citi Field 2-17-09

[BrooklynEagle]

That is a great view!!! Right to the west, all the down to south Flushing Meadows (Arthur Ashe Stadium, The Unisphere, NY State Pavilion, etc., etc). You captured the area at the right time of the day (or early evening).

But, as for Shea...it was time for it to go away for good. By 2000 it was an absolute mess! It's nice the fans--NOT the actual team, the Metropolitans, MISSED THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN--gave it a nice send-off in 2008 & at the very end early last year (2009). Very sad...

I think I parked in Center field yesterday (Opening Day). It felt weird walking through Center Field, and to finally walk through what used to be Shea.

Thanks for the video .

It still looks surreal . As i spent many days at the ballpark coming from the train hearing the cheer of fans while watching the Mets.
