Seems like just yesterday that Billy Joel was planning the ultimate farewell to Shea Stadium, and now, less than two months before baseball season starts up again, Shea is gone. Get some Kleenex Mets fans (you should be used to carrying them around) and take one last look at your team's old home as it gets reduced to rubble, like so many Pennant dreams. Time of death (as recorded by the NY Times): Wednesday, February 18th, 11:21 a.m.

beautiful new stadium, though i would life to see the citi logo removed and for it to be renamed City Field
"Beautiful"? It looks like a shopping mall in Queens...wait a minute, it practically is a shopping mall in Queens.
it's great that the mets will finally be moving to a stadium with a name not associated with failure.
You realize that Citibank is the main sponsor of the new digs, right? They're not exactly a symbol of prosperity.
I believe he was being sarcastic...
Speaking of RIP:
RIP Future Taliban who was banned for speaking the truth and reminding you torturing American War Criminals that you're despicable homicidal maniacs.
Oh, and oil thieves too.
I wonder of Future Taliban got his virgins.
Unfortunately, a bunch of dead Americans got there first and raped them all...
Bailout Park is looking pretty nice!
can somebody please explain me why we needed 2 new stadiums?
And I don't think it's a beautiful stadium... what century was it designed?
It was purposely designed to look like the beloved Ebbets Field that was built early in the twentith century and used to stand in Brooklyn.
We got two stadiums because the Yankees got a little jealous of the Mets and the City was being generous at the time.
That's how GDP is created.
"We built a new stadium, we created 100 jobs balalala.."
But, wait, what's the change? Just the location moved 100 yards east?

Adios to the blue and orange toilet bowl!
such a waste of money.
The teams got new stadiums becasue Bloomberg and NYC wants The Olympic Games to come here...also the Giants and Jets got a new Stadium...and lest we forget they talked about refurbing MSG and there's talk of a new arena in Brooklyn...so....it's not all Mets and Yankees it OLYMPIC ASPIRATIONS AS WELL
