Shea Stadium is almost gone

There was an article in today's New York Times about a group of diehard Met fans who came to view the remains of Shea Stadium as its deconstruction nears completion. I can not put that photo in my journal, so if you are interested, click on the link. As I pass the site of Shea Stadium as I go to work on the #7 train, I just can not look it at since I spent so many wonderful times there since 1964. Nothing in this world is absolutely permanent. Shea Stadium lasted longer than stadia such as Veterans Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium, the Kingdome, and the RCA Dome among others. Citifield opens April 13 with our first game Saturday April 18th.
