Shea Stadium Other Events Video Commentary

As Shea Stadium was a Multi-Purpose Stadium, being home to Baseball, NFL Football, Soccer, Concerts(Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, The Clash, ETC) and a Papal Event with Pope John Paul II, it went through a LOT of use, even more so than RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, as Shea saw MLB Action for 45 Consecutive Seasons, whereas RFK only saw MLB for 13 of its' 48 Seasons:

County Stadium in Milwaukee, WI, ran from 1953 until Y2K, and saw 44 Seasons of MLB(13 Braves Seasons from 1953 until 1965 and 31 Seasons of the Brewers, from 1970 until 2000, as well as 42 Seasons where the Green Bay Packers(NFL Charter Member), played Two Home Games per season;

While The NY Yankees love, in all their Dis-Ingenuity, to advertise that Yankee Stadium ran from 1923 until 2008, nothing could be further from the truth, in that the original Stadium was closed on Sunday, September 30th, 1973, and was ripped down, and a new Stadium, using the shell of the Original Stadium, opened on the site in April, 1976, so Shea Stadium was actually older, structurally, and was more in use than Yankee Stadium II;
