	Clem's Baseball ~ Shea Stadium
		Shea Stadium was the second of the dull "cookie-cutter" circular hybrid stadiums (designed for baseball as well as football), being built two years after D.C. Stadium (later called RFK).
		Shea Stadium has the biggest diameter of any circular stadium, and there were even plans to extend its three main decks and complete the full circle, which would have raised the capacity to 90,000.
		The location of Shea Stadium is rather convenient in terms of its proximity to the subway, the freeways, and the Long Island suburbs, but the location factor is on balance rated as neutral because of the proximity to La Guardia Airport which sometimes exposes fans to loud noise from airliners taking off.
