Citi_Field from WebShots has published some outstanding pictures of the demolition process of Shea Stadium. There are Citi Field pictures here as well.

Shea Demolition/Citi Field 12/13/08

Our WebShots user, Citi Field, has provided another terrific slide show. This one is of the deconstruction of Shea Stadium. These pictures are very impressive. The loge level, from left field to past home plate, has been razed. On the right field side, some of the mezzanine sections and upper level have begun to be obliterated. The roof access and light ring that surrounds the top of the stadium has begun to be removed as well.

I look at these photos with mixed emotions. Citi Field looks beautiful as we saw in many released pictures last week. But a big part of Mets fans' memories are being wiped away next door, at least where the memories happened.
