New York Giants

The New York Giants actually played at the Yale Bowl during the 1973 season while their old home Yankee Stadium was being renovated esclusively for baseball but before Giants Stadium was opened.

Do your research. The giants played some games at Shea in 1975 after the Yale Bowl and before Giants Stadium.

Lawnmower of Doom?

Anyone know if the father won the lawsuit and received 10 million? Seems like if he was economically dependent it would be tough. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.110.221.182 (talk) 20:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

rock & roll

Recently on VH1's documentary series "7 ages of Rock". Shea Stadium was named the most hallowed venue in all of Rock and Roll

i havent seen the documentary, was it VH1 that called it that or the editors of the documentary, whomever they might be? does anyone have a written source? SJMNY (talk) 21:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:SheaStadiumLogo150.PNG

Image:SheaStadiumLogo150.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removing above logo

I'm removing SheaStadiumLogo150.PNG - it is not a stadium logo, as the article claims, but rather a cropped version of: http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=1845 with the text removed. If anybody wants to include the complete logo, identifying it as an anniversary logo, then please feel free. SixFourThree (talk) 14:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]

Elvis at Sick's Stadium

With all due respect, does Sick's Stadium really rank as a Major Stadium? The Beatles at Shea really was the first Major Stadium concert. Pat Pending (talk) 18:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closing date

The closing date of 28 September does not belong on this page, that merely marks the last regular season game at Shea and does not take into account the playoffs. Plus a Billy Joel concert tour later that fall will be the last event held at Shea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjrover (talk • contribs) 03:02, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's for the article, not the infobox, along with the explanation that it's tentative and that "wikipedia is not a crystal ball", something that we've been battling with Yankee and Shea for a couple of years now, and also with Washington until the new one opened: It seemed that every few days, some IP address would insert the endpoint to RFK, although it was not officially done until the new one opened, which is the case with these also. Until the new stadium actually holds its first game and/or the old stadium is imploded thus making any future games impossible, we can't close out the old one.

Nicknames

Most of the other stadium pages have nicknames at the top of the infobox. Shea really doesn't have too many widely used nicknames, probably due to the fact that it's an easy to pronounce one syllable word. however, "Big Shea" is used by the media and fans to refer to the ballpark routinely. what are people's opinions on putting this as a nickname for the ballpark in the infobox? it's certainly at least at the level of calling the Metrodome the "humpty dump."

I've rarely, if ever heard it referred to as Big Shea, and I'm from NY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.110.59 (talk) 06:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also a born & bred NYer / Mets fan since 1963 and have never seen or heard that usage anywhere. However, if someone can come up with a Wikipedia-valid reference, I wouldn't mind seeing it included here. BeBopnJazz (talk) 14:48, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

edit on "Other events"

FYI - I edited the reference to the next major concert after The Beatles appeared at Shea in 1966. It was factually inaccurate as it did not include the Festival for Peace. In defense of the original author, the Festival is almost unknown even among rock aficionados, despite being a watershed event in American concert and political history.

Demolished now

They've demolished it. I think someone should mention this. --72.218.215.149 (talk) 16:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
