What I think would have happened was this:Dodgers would have played one season in the Polo Grounds while Ebbets Field underwent a complete renovation, with the Dodgers playing in a modern version of the stadium from 1959-early '70s. After Jane Jacobs blocked Moses and Lindsay became Mayor, I suspect the Dodgers would have gotten their dome at Atlantic Yards sometime around 1972-'73. The Jets would have instead of moving to Shea after the 1963 season would have played 1-2 years at Yankee Stadium (sharing it with the Giants and Yankees) or Ebbets Field (sharing with the Dodgers) while the Polo Grounds was completely rebuilt, with the Jets playing in a modern, football-only Polo Grounds beginning in 1965 or '66. In turn, while the football Giants were waiting for their new Meadowlands stadium to be built, they would join the Jets in the Polo Grounds during the time Yankee Stadium was being rebuilt while the Yankees would have played the 1974 and '75 seasons in the Dodgers ballpark. Just some thoughts. |
