New Mets Stadium

On June 12, 2005 a plan for a New Mets Stadium in Willetts Point, Queens in the parking lot of Shea Stadium was announced. If approved it is to be completed for the 2009 baseball season. The plan was to use the stadium for the 2012 Olympics while the Mets would play at the new Yankee Stadium in The Bronx for the 2012 season. This would have put the Mets in much the same situation as the Yankees were in 1974-1975 when they played in Shea Stadium while Yankee Stadium was renovated. Despite New York's loss of the 2012 Olympics to London, the Mets still plan to build their new stadium in time for the 2009 season
