During the Mets’ run to the World Series last October, Citi Field had an atmosphere like never before since the stadium opened in 2009. You could just feel it in the stands just like it did at Shea Stadium, especially in 1986 and as recently as 2006, when the Mets reached the National League Championship Series.
But that real estate in Flushing alongside Roosevelt Avenue and the Grand Central Parkway is not just about what happens on the diamond. In fact, going back to the days of Shea Stadium, there have been plenty of hits belted out over the years, not only in baseball, but also at musical concerts.
