It was demolished in 2009 to create additional parking for the adjacent Citi Field, Shea's replacement and the current home of the Mets.
over a year ago. Safety is always so subjective, that said, the park is in a good neighborhood, not a high crime area. I've gone there to Citi field and its predecessor Shea Stadium for more than 20 years without issue. I've also taken my child from the time he was 3 without issue.
On September 28, 2008 the Mets played their final regular season game at Shea Stadium against the Florida Marlins. Shea Stadium was demolished after the season and is used for parking for Citi Field.
The space it previously occupied is now used as parking for Citi Field, which has more than 15,000 fewer seats than Shea. The Mets recorded both their World Series titles at Shea Stadium, winning Game 5 in 1969 and Game 7 in 1986 in Queens, N.Y.
The shows were staged on July 16 and 18, 2008, before a combined 110,000 fans, and were the last performances ever to play the historic stadium before it was demolished. The film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 26, 2010.

Darryl Strawberry has hit the most home runs in New York Mets franchise history with 252 home runs.
The Mets are really good and I have them as a postseason team in 2021. I think the Yankees are a few wins better though. But on paper, the Yankees are the American League favorites once again, while the Mets are co-favorites in their division after their splashy offseason.
The
Mets' starting pitchers also recorded
a new major league low of just 23 wins all
season. The team lost
its first game 11–4 to the St. Louis Cardinals on April 11, and went on to
lose its first nine
games.
