A very nice read about Shea. What, no obstructed views? Did they not have geometry in the 1960s?
Inside, Shea didn’t feature vertical columns and therefore had no Wrigley Field-like obstructed-view seats, despite a capacity of more than 55,000. John Pastier, an architecture critic and the author of a book about baseball stadiums, said that “people remarked that this was the brightest sports lighting system ever installed.”
