If you're a sports fan in the New York City area, you can't help but notice the large scale construction going on in Queens as well as the Bronx as both the Yankees and Mets are building new stadiums. While Yankee Stadium has seen more World Series titles than its NL counterpart, Shea Stadium boasts a hipper history when it comes to rock and roll.
In the midst of the Mets last season at Shea, Billy Joel will be the last musician to play on the field that famously hosted The Beatles in 1965 and has also been graced by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Bruce Springsteen. Although Shea has presented various bands during ethnic day celebrations, Joel's farewell show will be the first full concert since Elton John and Eric Clapton performed there in 1992.
The Last Play At Shea: From The Beatles To Billy show will take place on July 16th.
