Right:And why I think the Dodgers (possibly following a three-way swap of owners between O'Malley, the Griffiths and Stroneham) play 1-2 seasons in the Polo Ground while Ebbets Field is renovated to allow play to continue there through the 1960s when by the time Lindsay becomes Mayor the Dodgers are allowed to build their stadium where the Barclays Center currently stands and that opens around 1972. Meanwhile, the Jets play in a modern (for 1966) version of the Polo Grounds that likely is state of the art for a football stadium of its time, possibly with the Giants joining them there (instead of playing in the Yale Bowl) while Yankee Stadium is rebuilt following the 1973 season before the Giants go to the Meadowlands in '76 or even depending on how things would be in the early '70s the Jets and Giants sharing a modern Polo Grounds just as they have since 1984. |
