Man First Stadium I went to I'm ganna miss it.I was dissipointed that their calling the new stadium Citi Feild,it should be called Gil Hodges Stadium or something like that.Wjo agrees with me?
No implosion.. Apparently the city of New York prohibits demolition by implosion. They're apparently just going to dismantle Shea bit by bit.. An implosion would have been a more dignified end..
wow i cant belive its gonna be Gay citi feild with less seats and twice as much. there putting 5000 less seats just for demand and more cash. thats real gay. Didnt William Shea find the New York Mets?
This is new thing with new retro-style ballparks. Lower capacities, higher prices. Everyone's doing it, even the Yankee's are lowering their capacity by about 5,500 in the new stadium, even though they easily fill up the current stadium every single game.
the seats will also cost twice as much. and there will be no season plans. in 06 i had a season pass to go to every home sunday game including a met-yankee game, but in 09 their will be no season plans.
They will still continue to have both season ticket and partial ticket plans in Citi Field, the same ones they have now at Shea. Also, the ticket prices won't double. It will probably be about the same rise in ticket prices that they put on this year.
Yes Shea was used for Football but The picture that the football field is from the 2000s in this video.( Note the scoreboard and the color of the seats of the 2000s era and the words SHEA STADIUM)
I think this was dubbed out, befor they had the plan for the Jets "west side stadium" someone thought it would be a good idea to let them play at shea again, mabe they just dubbed this to show what it would look like.
Actually I think it might just be a High School game or something. I'm pretty sure they kept running stuff like that right up until the last few years.
maybe once i went to a highschool baseball game there and it was awsome. they told us to only stay on feild level but since sercurity sucked that day me and my friends went up to the top and had the whole section to our selfs. but thats only cause the highschool team sucked.
yea back in the 60's the Jets played there, i didn't make a good football stadium because of the design of Shea made it so wind would swirl around inside, so the "Swirling Winds" are great for baseball but sucks for football.
i still can't believe the mets aren't in the play-off
Hey Jomommalerch, Its a great all purpose stadium though. It was used for a funeral for all of the Met's fan's expectations at the end of 2007. What flowers did you send??
Im in st.louis. All the new stadiums look almost the same. The old shea was dump, but at least it had character.

Fuck that, it seems since 9/11, they would prohibit implosion because they think the terrorists are going to sabotage it or something.
