Here are some birdseye shots of Shea and Citi Field taken today from WCBS 88. As you can see the upper deck is now a third down and that’s in a week, so in a few weeks the inside of the building will be stripped.

And Citi Field is looking sharp in the background.

Happy New Year!

Our friends at the Stadium Page have some new Shea demo pictures up from the last week. As you can see they are now taking down the upper deck. You can also see some Citi Field pictures as well.

It won’t be long until the old girl is entirely gone.

Our friends at the StadiumPage.com have new photos of Shea, Citi Field and New Yankee Stadium.

Take a look at Shea, where the top of the stadium is now coming down. Pretty soon there will be nothing left.

Neat stuff!

Little Recap before the Tour

Before I go off for a Citi Field tour, here’s a little recap:

  1. Brian Fuentes will meet with the Mets at the Winter Meetings, accoring to a number of sources.
  2. The Mets offered arbitration only to Oliver Perez, meaning they will get draft picks if he signs with anyone else.
  3. Nick Evans is back from Puerto Rico with a quad strain.

I will have more later after the tour, including pictures of the new Mets digs.

New Poll: Should The Mets Continue With Citi Field?

Ok, with the hot stove rather cool right now, I am going to ask about the Citi Field question:

As always, if it doesn’t work here then try the poll on the side, which should be ok. They are one in the same.

Should the Mets and Citi Cancel Their Deal?

Some more on Citi Field

This is the good people from CNBC, who knows a thing or two about finance:

I don’t know if the government can come in and cancel the deal, but that may be another way the deal goes away. Personally, I don’t think it will happen, lots of banks took TARP money and their deals won’t be canceled.

Also about half of the 52,000 job cuts are coming from asset sales, meaning these people won’t lose their jobs through Citi, rather they are selling these divisions, so those jobs won’t be part or Citi anymore.

Here’s a really good article on this from ABC News.
