NEW YORK CITY - Shea Stadium - 1964-65 World\'s Fair - Flushing Meadow Park: Shea Stadium formally known as William A. Shea Municipal Stadium) was a stadium in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens, New York City. Built as a multi-purpose stadium, it was the home park of Major League Baseball\'s New York Mets for 45 seasons (1964–2008), as well as the New York Jets football team from 1964 to 1983. The venue was named in honor of William A. Shea, the man who was most responsible for bringing National League baseball back to New York after the Dodgers and Giants left for California in 1957. It was demolished in 2009 to create additional parking for the adjacent Citi Field, the current home of the Mets. The stadium opened five days before the 1964-65 New York World\'s Fair, across Roosevelt Avenue. Although not officially part of the fair grounds, the stadium sported steel panels on its exterior in the blue-and-orange colors of the Fair. The panels were removed in 1980. The card is in good condition. Dexter Press, West Nyack, N.Y. No. 65619-8. WF6.
