How sad.

Growing up on Staten Island, and having fond memories of Weissglass Stadium and Wall Stadium.
Fond memory of taking my son to Wall Stadium.

Ahh, another one of my youthful memories now rests with the dodo.

Any idea why they closed??profit for land? town noise and fun hater's?? or just not making any profits?

Just curious..

all of the above, most likely...

rumors on their forum, but its sounds plausible:

Thats what I was told....all was good in the morning...then Shinn ,Archer and the new unamed partner with their lawyer went to meet with the Mayor and some council members in the afternoon thats when the big I'll say "Creamer Bomb" dropped...The mayor renigged on what they were promising the track and so It went down hill from there...Now Creamer has or will in the very near future submit plans for an industrial park and new Main Creamer offices and equipment parking site...Not sure what he promised the Town but....it musta been good enough to Kill the Track...

in my dream world, ray evernham and martin truex jr. come in with additional investors and keep the track going...then i woke up...
