Shea, and most of those multipurpose stadiums had no soul.
Be nice when they blow the mutha up.
Use to go to Jet games back in the day and the cold stank really sucked.

I was too young for the 1968 superbowl so my memories of Joe willie was that of the bad knee'd womanizer on his last legs. They sucked.
Then Richard Todd. ALso, not so good. Giants those days were not better. IN fact, NY football really sucked for a long long time. Not until the "Sack Exchange" and steroids was Jet football even tolerable. The MudBowl was brutal. They lost the conf finals to the Raiders and it went down hill from their.

AJ Duhe still makes my blood boil. Screw Don Shula for not putting the tarp on the field before the game so they would play in mud. Goddamn cheater.
Who cares about Shea Stadium? The place was a dump and like you said, had no soul. It's funny that the last memory of Shea is Tom Seaver and Mike Piazza walking out hand in hand.

The Beatles, the two Mets championships, the Jet fly overs, the big apple, etc., etc., etc! It still had some nice memories. It was simple, even for a cookie cutter. It was the new hope when the Dodgers and Giants left town and in the end, it produced a greater hope.
I know. 'Citi Field' doesn't quite do it for me either, but it's a start. I take pride in our NYC institutions.
