Note: Shea, SNY and the Weekend
The next few days are going to be busy.
Here’s a quick run down of what I know so far:
Thursday:
I will be at Shea Stadium all day 
tomorrow, live blogging from 1 pm through the moment they turn off the lights in the building.
I’m hoping to walk around in the afternoon, taking pictures and writing about what it’s like to be there, essentially alone, inside the stadium. I’m quite giddy.
Friday:
The Pre Game Show will air as usual on SNY at 6:30 pm, which will be followed by the game and Post Game Show.
Saturday:
The game will air on Ch. 11 at 1 pm, and will likely be a super significant game. There will be a Post Game Show on SNY immediately following the game.
SNY will air the 92nd Street Y forum at 7:30 pm, which features a discussion among Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and others about Shea, which will be followed at 8:30 pm with Shea Goodbye, a documentary about the stadium from SNY.
Sunday:
SNY will begin the day’s Pre Game coverage at 11:30 am, which I am hoping to be on – but time will tell.
The game will air on SNY, after which they will return with an extended Post Game Show of the stadium’s emotional, on-field, farewell celebration.
In case you missed it, as I wrote during last night’s game, the Mets are expected to officially announce later this week the schedule of events for the farewell.
However, from what I can gather, a) the major part of the celebration will occur after the game, and b) expect to see Mike Piazza, Tom Seaver, Willie Mays, Robin Ventura, Edgardo Alfonzo, Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and Jerry Koosman, as well as nearly 40 other former players.
