Makes me think of Arthur Ashe stadium and how the corporatation get all the love and the average fan get the raw deal. I have mezzanine box seats with a great home plate view at Shea. I will not be happy if I am pushed farther from the field just to accommodate a few levels of corporate boxes. Who is ready to get mad?! I think I am.

The latter, in this case, meaning seizing the businesses w/o fair or just compensation from hard working people who have tried to make their livelihood here for many, many years; businesses whose normal municipal services needs were ignored by this city (they pay the same taxes as the rest of us.) But don't worry all you happy little Mets fans looking for "somebody to do something about the neighborhood around Shea. "(you mean CITIFIELD, my friend) Mr. Bloomberg and his City Council will get rid of these guys and build your fancy bars, restaurants and playgrounds well before you can say "Play Ball" in 2009! “buying them out” is not the same as “eminent domain.”

I know they can't implode it like they do most stadiums, so they're gonna have to demolish it the old fashioned way, which I imagine might take a bit of time. Will Shea be completely gone when Citi Field opens next year, or will there still be remnants of it? Also, any plans to use a wrecking ball painted to look like a baseball, like they did for Ebbets Field and the Polo Grounds? (I think it'd be kinda cool if they did that for both Shea and Yankee) Anyone know what the timetable is for Shea to be dismantled?
