Editorial Review for Shea Stadium – by Paul J. Pelkonen
In Short
The Mets' '60s-era home may lack the historical charm of Yankee Stadium, but Shea is definitely the more charmingly eccentric of the two. Its location right near Laguardia Airport guarantees a ceaseless barrage of airplane noise to add to the spirited cheers and jeers. Then there's the mechanical apple that pops out of a giant top hat to celebrate Mets home runs. All of this gives Shea a heartening touch of Coney Island-like weirdness.

I've been a Mets fan all of my life, so I must recommend Shea Stadium to everyone seeking a true New York experience. The loudest, most loyal baseball fans in the world cheering for the Amazin's. Take in the electric atmosphere during a game with the Yankees, you'll never forget it.
Pros: Atmosphere
