S&S Seating has been contracted by the New York Mets and the City of New York to remove and distribute the Shea Stadium seat pairs being sold to fans and collectors. The metal seat frames, which date back to Shea’s opening season in 1964, will be stripped and repainted in their original color to meet standards for indoor use. The plastic seat and chair-back, which has been in use since 1980, will remain as is. S&S Seating will ship out the pre-sold seat pairs within 6-12 weeks.
Seat pairs are still available for purchase exclusively online at Mets.com/shea. Red and Green seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Orange and Blue seats have been sold out. Each seat pair has been authenticated by Major League Baseball’s Authentication Program and affixed with a tamper-proof hologram displaying a unique identification number.
