Description: Pazel Jackson shares his knowledge about the construction of Shea Stadium. Normally athletic stadiums take many years to be constructed, but Moses wanted the stadium complete in time for the 1964 World's Fair. Shea is an almost exact replica of Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The engineers had the contractor duplicate the components of Candlestick Park and used them to build Shea Stadium. This allowed them to finish the building in time.
