The upcoming show will continue Joel's long-standing penchant for playing at sports venues. It began in earnest in June 1990, when his Storm Front tour played Yankee Stadium in his birthplace, the Bronx. Joel also famously had the "last play" at Shea Stadium in 2008, playing two sold-out concerts in July to commemorate the Mets' final season in that Queen ballpark.

The concerts were featured in "The Last Play at Shea," a 2010 documentary, and included guest appearances by Tony Bennett, Don Henley, John Mayer, John Mellencamp, Steven Tyler, Roger Daltrey, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney.
