I went and visited Shea on valentines day and took a few pictures. It was really amazing how little of it was left. I also went over and visited Citi Field and saw the new home run apple about to be installed. There were also new advertisements put up.

Shea is very missed by the most real New Yorkers & Brooklynites (ME! And former Royal & Orange supporter from the 80's), but it was not historic by any means. There was once a GIANT-ass horseshoe Uptown called the Polo Grounds (where the Royal & Orange obviously played during their first couple of misery-filled seasons in '62 & '63) that had even more history than Shea. Shea was for the people, but the Polo Grounds was for NYC. No question.
What that construction crew should have done was...

...demolished some of those whiny-ass Metropolitan "fans" back in the early-Winter of '09. ALWAYS bitchin' about some shit!!! At least Metropolitan "fans" of today do. And surprisingly, the "male" Metropolitan "fans" seem to bitch more than their bitches. :D Any ballpark with a corporate name usually sounds corny, but I like calling it "The Citi." Common saying ("we're going into 'the city' (Manhattan) later") in our city's history. And I really dig how they honor Jack Robinson! That's great.

I really hate how that city doesn't preserve pieces of history.. That was built for the World's Fair.. They've done nothing to restore or protect the structures that are left & now they choose to tear Shea down..
That mayor should be ashamed of himself..

Yeah, Citi Field is built just like every other stadium with the seats and stuff... Shea was so unique, one of a kind..

Citi Field looks nice but its not going to be Shea, I loved the atmosphere of Shea Stadium wish they couldve keep the neon ballplayers and I did like the blue painted exterior
