Shea Stadium is naked

No more seats. The field is a mess. Slowly but surely, Old Shea is disappearing.

WCBS 880 AM (via River Avenue Blues) has a spectacular gallery of Shea Stadium.

Here's the photo that was on RAB:
One of the comments on that Yankees blog really makes me happy. Steve says:

I drive by Shea every day on my way to work and I noticed the seats gone a few weeks ago. Didn’t notice the outer facade being taken down, though.

BTW-The new Citi Field is absolutely gorgeous.

Citi Field, here we come. A new season, a new stadium, and maybe a new direction for the franchise.
