Give me Camden Yards or Pac Bell or Fenway or Wrigley ANY day. It's kind of like Belmont Park to me, OK facility, great history, but kind of dated.

I'm a Met fan with many fond memories of Shea, but I won't shed a tear when the Big Blue Boat is gone next year- it's the worst stadium in baseball by far.

I am not really sure how you can say that Shea is the worst place by far?

The sight lines are good, and maybe it doesnt hold the history of Yankee stadium, it has its own history....
Shea has everything you need to watch a game....maybe it was the airplanes that bothered you?

I watched Many double headers at Shea....and just walked home thru Flushing Meadow park to get home......safely.

Can you say that about the Bronx? www.nydailynews.com
has a great piece about Shea....
