Overview

Visitors come to here to see the New York Mets play baseball. In 1969, they won the World Series championship and did it again in 1986. This was also the site where the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elton John and even Pope John Paul II chose to meet the multitudes, despite the less than stellar acoustics. There are plans in the works to tear the stadium down and build a new one nearby, even though it has only been around since 1964.
