Read: Demolishing Shea Stadium
Shea Stadium will begin being dismantled, section by section, without
a wrecking ball, starting in two weeks, according to Mets executive Vice President of Business Operations Dave Howard, in a report by Jim Baumbach for Newsday.
Inversely, Howard notes that the sod will be installed in Citi Field by the end of October, ‘just in time to set in before the winter frost hits.’
Baumbach continues on to list the step by step plan for Shea’s demolition, which, though it will be a slow process, the team hopes will be completed by April of next season.
