Yankee John sent along a photo he found on
Forgotten-NY.com of a brand-spanking new Shea Stadium
Remember, sports fans, Citi Field looks spectacular now 20 days before the official opening, but Shea Stadium also looked good when the paint was still drying.

To this day, I still believe that Shea would have aged MUCH better had they not mucked with the color schemes and splashed dark blue paint all over the place. Replace the original wooden seats with plastic ones, yes. But do not change the color.
She would have aged gracefully instead of being the recipient of band-aids in the form of paint, paint, and more paint.
Look at Dodger Stadium. It looks majestic. Shea could have aged the same way.
Cheers!
