	New Mets Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Mets Stadium is a planned Major League Baseball stadium for the New York Mets to be built in Willets Point, Queens, New York as a replacement for Shea Stadium.
		The creation of the plan for the stadium came after the veto of the plan for the construction of the West Side Stadium and was part of the failed New York City 2012 Olympic bid, though it will be built despite New York's loss of the Games.
		This stadium would be the third stadium the New York Mets would play in over their close to 50 year history.
