Ah good old Shea. I don’t know what your meeting place was, but for me and my cronies it was Meet At Gate E. Why Gate E? Because it was the first gate off the subway, and of course you took the subway to Shea, and there was a big giant monolith with an E on top. Even a newbie could figure it out.
Every now and then someone would make me meet them at Gate A, or I’d exit Gate A, and Gate A seemed like it was twenty miles from the subway. As a fan I always headed to the Roosevelt Avenue side if I exited through gates B, C, D or E. A was trickier – but that walk all the way around always took forever, And I want to block out of my mind the awkwardness when Citi was being built out there. Seems unnatural. Yuck.
Now everyone just meets at the rotunda, which is a rookie mistake anyway. At least meet by the one true Apple.
