I have never been to Shea, nor have I ever had a desire to. I've never once heard a good thing about it. I've been to Yankee Stadium a couple times and it's a dump. Lost of history, yes, but a dump nonetheless. I love a good new stadium and look forward to catching some Phils=Mets games in Flushing next year. CBP is a beautiful stadium with the #1 rated stadium food in the country and I fully expect the NY stadium to try and outdo their Philly counterpart. It'll be fun to see how they match up. Like tonight, when Mets Killer Adam Eaton stomps all over Father Time himself, Pedro Martinez. I am looking forward to the new NY stadiums. I have never been to Shea, nor have I ever had a desire to.

I fell head over heels for that ballpark. Talk about Americana. The open, airy design of the place that you mention is supposedly something they're incorporating into CitiField as well - open concourses so that you can see the action from the concessions - brilliant! If the Yankees aren't incorporating a similar design, then shame on them. After a weekend at Citizen's Bank Park, I'm not sure I can ever look at a ballpark the same way again.
