Actually, it was not as simple as that. Moses was willing to take the fall as he didn't have to worry about re-election but quite frankly there was little support for O'Malley within the Board of Estimate (not here to defend Moses but he wasn't the only one who felt to make a hand out to O'Malley who was making more money than anybody else in baseball was absurd. Also the inconvenient eminent domain laws were an impediment and those existed till todya. Look how long it took to build Barclay Centerbecause of litigation). Also a lot of the opposition, too, was the usual Manhattan centric view point that Brooklyn was not all that important. Couple that with the absurd offer the Los Angeles city cvouncil was making to O'Malley and quite frankly, the proposed Styadium never had a chance.
