[[Shea Stadium]], while not part of the Fair grounds proper, was opened at the same time as the fair and was listed in the fair's maps. It remains the home of the [[New York Mets]] baseball team, who are building a new stadium (
[[Citi Field]]) next to Shea that is scheduled to open in 2009.

Commemorative [[postage stamp]]s were produced for the Fair, souvenir medals were issued, and a lot of memorabilia remains in private hands.  There is significant interest in collecting these pieces.  Items of all types, many quite inexpensive, frequently appear in sales.
