Shea Stadium and Citi Field photos by Will Lugo As this is the last season the NY Mets will play at Shea Stadium, TGP contributor Will Lugo honors the home of his favorite baseball team Article rating: 8.83

TakeGreatPictures.com Photo Contributor Will Lugo is likely one of millions who will retain bittersweet memories of She Stadium, the home of the New York Mets, which opened in 1964.

Next year it will be replaced by Citi Field.

To tribute the Mets and where they played for 44 years, Will appeard well before the fans on the evening of a game this summer to photographically immortalize Shea Stadium.

So it's goodbye to Shea Stadium, from the familiar and welcoming exterior -

to its charming neon details.

It is almost an eerie sensation to see the new Citi Field going up next to soon to be vacant Shea.

From within, fans can see the new ballpark rising up from just beyond Shea's outfield scoreboards.

With a photojournalistic viewpoint, Lugo captures the prominence of the new against the old, receding into the past.

But let's never forget the triumphs that took place at She Stadium.  And as Lugo, a lifelong Mets fan, would say, "Let's Go Mets!"
