Easily the saddest thing I've ever seen...

Did they make sure Rickey Henderson was done with his card game before they started the demolition?

Shea It Ain't So-billy

Oh my heart is broken. Did you know they were selling the seats from Shea for 869 a seat? Cause they won the World Series in 1986 & 1969.

Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the US Open has been played since 1997, is just across Roosevelt Ave. from Shea Stadium. You can see a bit of it (Arthur Ashe) in the far left of the top picture and more so in this one:



These are the only two stadiums that are (or were... sniff...) anagrams of each other... SHEA & ASHE.

Plethora of useless information,

I was there for one of those shows! 10/28/89!! Sat in the Mezz... you could see the entire upper deck moving up and down!!! The only other time I saw that was when the Mets beat the Cards in the 2000 NLCS.

I was in the upper deck and it scared me cause I'd never been anywhere that big before. The Stones played 2 nights. First night ,John Lee Hooker opened for them and the second night when I saw them , Living Color opened. My 25th birthday was the 27th of October that year and my cousin from Rockland county took me there as a present. Dont remember much about the show other than that I enjoyed it.......and the vibrating deck.
