“It’s an honor to help throw Shea the ultimate concert farewell party. As a sports fan and a music lover, I will always have a place for Shea Stadium in my heart. I thank the Mets for giving me and my fans a chance to rock Shea Stadium one last time for the ages.”
A new stadium, Citi Field, is to open for the 2009 season. Aw! It’s kind of sad to think about Shea’s last concert. Billy Joel is a good choice for their last show though.
