I'm actually going to miss Shea Stadium. These cookie-cutter stadiums of the post-WW2 era are a dying breed.

I'm a Yankees fam myself, but I know that a lot of great moments in Mets history happened at this stadium (including the clinching game 5 in 2000 World Series hehe) But seriously, getting rid of a landmark like this for another corporate-named stadium is rediculous.
