You lucky lady! You got to Shea for one of the last games. I went in June. I just had to see old Shea, where I saw the Beatles in 1965.

Nice photo of the stadium!

I was there years ago with my brother for fan appreciation day. We got free Mets towels and other goodies. Was so much fun. I've been a Mets fan since 1986! It will be weird to go to the new stadium someday...

It's great that you went to "last night" at Shea. I only know it from hearing that Bruce Springsteen played there. (I love the very early Boss).
I liked your SWF heart-shaped puffy clouds very much also.

Sad to see the stadium go, but I heard the Billy Joel concert was really good.

Islipian, honestly I wouldn't have known a thing about it had I not known some fans. but I am very glad I went. It was quite an experience & lots of fun.

Hi Alida & thanks, I did feel lucky. especially not really knowing what to expect. I wish I had seen the Beatles there too! or Billy Joel for that matter. I love them.

Mari,Mr. Met came out at one point and shot what looked like t-shirts out of a large gun type thingy into the audience. Everyone went crazy.
I want to go to the new stadium early in the summer next year. It looks a lot smaller.

Thanks Tash!

Hi Arnold!

The first baseball game I ever attended was at Shea stadium, way back in the mid 70's. It was old timer's day. We were seated field level on the third base line. During the regular game, Tommie Agee didn't disappoint, stealing home in a desperate run from third base. Almost thirty years later, I still think he was OUT!
