Not for the faint of heart for those with fond childhood memories of Shea.

Citi_Field also provides a new slideshow with incredible pictures...

And www.stadiumpage.com has wonderful new photos too. Enjoys these pictures and get over to Flushing soon if you want one last glimps of Shea. At this rate, she will be completely gone soon.

Shea Stadium continues to be dismantled. The Upper Deck is almost completely gone. The pedestrian ramps at Gate A and Gate E have been torn down. And what was once a partial circular stadium at about 240 degrees has been reduced to less than 180 degrees. Shea's footprint is diminishing in leaps and bounds.

Regardless of the extreme cold we have experienced recently in the tri-state area, the lack of punishing winter storms has allowed workers to knock down the old yard relatively quick. It appears to me they are ahead of schedule. Jeff Wilpon had talked of the parking lot, where Shea stood, not being completed by opening day. But that was before Shea's razing began. Here is a slide show from WebShots user mdileox35.

Update 1-17-09 More demolition pictures have been posted at stadiumpage.com. In these photos, we see the footprint of Shea Stadium has now begun to be diminished. Sections of ramps on the left field side have been demolished. Click on the January 14 link.

Original Post 1-14-09 I've been a Mets fan since the beginning. I remember when Shea Stadium opened and I still find it hard to believe it's being torn down. Not that I mind however. Citi Field looks to be a far superior place to watch the Mets.

Anyway, Stadiumpage.com has posted some simply awesome pictures of Shea's demolition. In these photos, you will see that the upper level on the left field end has been completely removed. Plus the concourse is gone all the way to the top of the stadium revealing just the pedestrian ramps. It is quite surreal. There is a series of pictures that show a section of the canopy being cut away by workers with blow torches. You can see the large section of steel sliding down the upper deck. These are some great photos.

Click on the Shea demolition link then the January 13th link for the latest photos. Eric Okurowski does a great job with this site.

Here are some brand new pictures of Shea Stadium and Citi Field. From this slideshow from WebShot's user Citi_Field, you will see the upper deck on the left field side has been completely removed to about third base. Now the stadium from the outside takes on a different look as observed from the Van Wyck Expressway.

The website Stadiumpage.com has posted new demo pictures too as well as exterior shots of Citi Field.

Tom Kaminsky from Chopper 88 has posted some great aerial shots of Shea Stadium (what’s left of it) and Citi Field.

Also, can someone in the Mets ticket department come up with a simpler scheme for their new seating plan? What is a color blind Mets fan to do?

Check out these pictures of Shea Stadium. You have to admit, this is a bit sad, no? Thanks to Citi_Field from WebShots for these photos.
