Changes at Shea do NOT include Astroturf (as noted in my original
posting), a dome, or any extra seating.  What they do include is
bathroom overhaul (call it the Leon Hess factor), luxury boxes, and
putting up glass (acrylic?!) barriers around the outside of the
stasium, which will supposedly cut down on chilly breezes.  I think
there will also be some touch-up of drainage and the natural surface.
I don't know if anything else is to be done.  The deal also provided
for two September football dates and cession of concession revenue
from those dates to a hypothetical football team.
