Shea Stadium closing
Shea Stadium in New York City is shutting down after the 2008 baseball season.

The Beatles concert at Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965, was the first concert to be held at a major outdoor stadium and set records for attendance and revenue generation. Over 55,000 people saw the show.

Shea will close after the Mets' 2008 season; the team moves to the new Citi Field in 2009. The Flushing, N.Y. stadium has been used as a concert venue only occasionally -- most famously, when the Beatles played there in 1965 and 1966. Other Shea headliners have included Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Elton John and the Police.

Billy Joel will be the last artist to play at New York's Shea Stadium with two concerts, July 16th and July 18, billed as "The Last Play at Shea, From the Beatles to Billy." Joel would become the fourth artist to play multiple shows at Shea since its opening in 1964, joining the Beatles (1965 and 1966), the Rolling Stones (1989), Elton John with Eric Clapton (1992) and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (2003).
