Shea Stadium opens in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park
It was the home of the Jets until 1983 and the Mets until 2008 and was demolished in 2009 after the new Citi Field had been constructed. The original locations of Shea Stadium's home plate, pitcher's mound, and bases are marked in the parking lot for Citi Field that was constructed over the original stadium site.
