The Story
Shea Stadium hosted its last Major League baseball game on
September 28, 2009 as the Florida Marlins defeated the Mets on the
last game of the season eliminating the Mets. Shortly thereafter,
the deconstruction of Shea Stadium began. It really started to come
apart in January 2009. I couldn't help visiting it as the stadium
was finally put to rest. Follow the progress from January 17,2009 as
it was going, going and finally gone on February 21, 2009 (actually
gone on February 18). Rubble still remained on March 29.
