Slideshow of Citi Field and Shea Stadium Demo

Many thanx to islandxtreme26 of Baseball-Fever.com, for this updated slide show of both Citi Field construction and Shea Stadium demolition. Obviously islandxtreme26 knows somebody, as he was privileged to take a tour and make this available to all Met fans. To that end, we offer a collective thanx.

Citi Field is looking great! I love the uniform seat color vs. the obnoxious multi colored bright seats, what a huge improvement. The restaurant located in left field is a nice touch as well. The pod in straight away center field is waiting the arrival of the new and improved, 19' diameter Home Run Apple. About the only thing that I saw and was not thrilled with is the turf surrounding the Home Run Apple, perhaps landscaping would have fit in with the retro design of Citi Field.

Shea Stadium is being dismantled rapidly, and one can only hope the memory of the last two Septembers will vanish with the debris field. BTW, Yankee stadium will not be demolished till 2010.

Enjoy...Citi Field opening day is just 75 days away.
