Baseball: Shea Stadium
  • Tip Rating:
  • New York City Baseball
  • Shea Stadium during an away-game

    Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens (Long Island) is where the hapless New York Mets play their baseball. Ticket prices are steep (as they are in all venues and all sports now), and during the baseball season there are generally few days off for every team. If you're not here to see a game and the Mets are losing somewhere out of town, you might be able to park your car here (with permission) so long as you leave before sundown. With spaces so difficult to find in the city, such alternatives are usually overlooked.

    Tennis: Flushing Meadows, Queens - US Open
  • Tip Rating:
  • New York City Tennis
  • stadium at the USTA Tennis Center

  • Theme: Sports Watching

    The US Open occurs at the USTA National Tennis Center each summer, one of the four venues for Grand Slam Tennis. Popularly called Flushing Meadows in association with its geographic location, the tennis event carries the richest purse in professional sports, with over $16 million in prize money awarded in 2003. The tennis stadium and subsidiary courts are a short walk from Shea Stadium and will forever be associated with the famous champions from New York, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors.
