SHEA STADIUM - Flushing Queens, NY

brewers vs mets - august 08 2001 - i am a mets fan. there i said it. they are my national league team. i was pumped to go to a game at shea, despite warnings from friends about it's lack of comfort. for me, the experience was worth getting to see my boys play live. the seats weren't bad. the heat (100 degress +) was a little more hindering. i got to see the apple rise when edgardo alfonso hit a homer, and i got to see armando benitez almost blow another save. as for shea itself, or "the big blue bowl" as i like to call it, there are some bad seats, some good, and you can always walk over to the world's fair if you get bored.
