@@WhydowesuckinOT they completely dropped the ball. there was land right next to shea and citifield for decades (willets point). thats where they belong
They came close to building one actually in Manhattan on the west side but that fell through. Instead both teams moved into the worst stadium in the country. Met life stadium is a joke.
@@Platerpus7 is it really a joke or are you jealous that its in jersey? if the same stadium were in new york it wouldnt be deemed a joke. secondly its not a joke. its very functional. what it is is souless because of the color scheme. thats due to the duel use obstacle not the stadium
2 football teams can do still share a stadium….. 2 baseball teams would be a stretch. I think the days of a baseball and football team sharing a stadium are over.
You would have to have on baseball game play in the morning and the other at night most days haha. or both baseball teams always play on the same day but one would be on the road and the other would be home
You might want to know that the Giants played part of the 1973 season and the 1974 season at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, CT. However, due to the distance from New York City, it was inconvenient for fans and the GIants didn't draw well in New Haven. Thus, the Giants decided to play the 1975 season at Shea Stadium.
The only other time and place in MLB/NFL history where something like this was possible was when the 49ers and Giants shared Candlestick Park, while the Raiders and Athletics shared Oakland Coliseum. The only other metro area that had both 2 NFL and 2 MLB teams at once, Los Angeles, always involved 3 or more stadiums, and it's highly unlikely that 2 stadiums would have issues at the same time.
Honestly, with everything going to streaming and online betting becoming the biggest sponsors, i think they should cram enough into a stadium to where theres something every single day. Especially since they use hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money to build them.
This is feasible today. And if you think about it, would be better for the city as you’d have one spot setup with parking, public transportation and highway access used darn well every day. Current stadiums are used less than half the year (football even worse). So all that infrastructure investment isn’t used as much as possible. The field surfaces in modern football stadiums slides in and out. You could design some facility that worked for both and utilized totally different fields for each sport.
It dosent work today. Football stadiums are fundamentally the wrong shape. They create large areas of no seats and drop offs. The suites are impossible to get into the right spots and revenue just isnt there. Also NFL stadiums hold 70k plus many times and most MLB parks are 40k
I thought the same thing. But I Googled it, and it said they played at shea in 1975. I shocked I don't remember it. I remember games at the original Yankee stadium in 1972 and 1973 and 1974 at Yale bowl but not shea stadium in 1975
@@robertkuhn-qr6vb I think you’re messing with me, but that’s cool. The 75 season was pretty amazing in that all four NY teams played there. It was quite a feat. The Jets and Giants had to wait until the end of the baseball season to play home games. When they did start, they had some weekends where the Giants played on Saturday and the Jets on Sunday. But I think you already know this. Lol.
You are right, I was wrong. I am 61 years old from jersey city. I remember the Yale bowl and the last year at original Yankee stadium, but I don't remember the games at shea. Crazy I don't remember that. I went to Yankee games in 1975 at shea. I.seen catfish hunter pitch for them.
@@robertkuhn-qr6vb There's a Giants highlight (lowlight?) film on YT from 1975. By the time they started playing at Shea, the field was basically dirt. Watching the Yankees Old Timers games at Shea for three seasons absolutely messes with your head.
"Could this stadium setup work today?" Short answer: no. Long answer: _hell_ no. There isn't a single dual-use stadium left because everyone (except perhaps the owners) collectively realized that those stadiums unilaterally suck. They didn't stick around for decades because they were good for both baseball and football, because they weren't. Just look at Oakland. No, they stuck around because they were convenient. Why have two good dedicated venues when you could have one mediocre stadium that technically works for both sports and only barely costs less?
The stadium owner just sat with dollar signs rolling in his eyes the entire time lololol
The city owned Shea Stadium and Yankee stadiums until the new ballparks came in 2009
Jets ownership should invest in building their own stadium in the NYC region
they should also build it in queens, preferably near laguardia or JFK

Yes and they should call it the hanger

Polo grounds left the chat
There are no polo grounds in nyc 😂
Already demolished by then
They also played in polo grounds
True but not in the same season.

Shea Stadium 🏟️ was Beautiful & I am
Honored to have seen games played
Not to mention the concerts and events held at shea around that time. That was a busy year for them.

As a Connecticut resident I went to my first Packer game there in 73. Go Pack Go
I saw the Jets play the Giants at Yale bowl. Joe Namath vs Fran Tarkington
I thought the Giants were in SF by then.
Get the Jets out of Giants Stadium!
Giants Stadium doesn’t exist anymore. They built MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands in 2010 for both teams.
@@CNSPORTZEDITZ it’s always Giants stadium…Jets are little sister
@@MinorLeagueLemon sure buddy 💀
Yeah ok, you willing to pay?
@@Random_Starr yeah, we're talking about the jets

This is why it confuses me how my dads whole family is Jets/Yankees fans
Mets jets and nets should all be as close as possible to each other.
I want to see what that turf looked like I. December.
If they did this again theyd have to add MLS side NYCFC who currently play out of Yankee Stadium
The jets the Mets the knicks the nets. All sound too similar, who came up with these I don’t like it
They did that on purpose. Besides the knicks, the jets and the nets were chose in order to sound familiar to the mets.
@@channingbloom7125 that is kind of weird. interesting though.
but it causes confusion, esp for non New Yorkers.
@@nofurtherwest3474
I guess that’s why they did it in New York. Familiar but different.
I heard the Jets one year play their entire home preseason schedule at the renovated Yankee Stadium
Imagine if there was a subway series that year…. Insane
Anything is better than MetLife
What about FedEx field
What about FedEx or Oakland. Metlife is boring sure but it's a perfectly fine stadium.
That’s insane
Closest thing to this occurring is NYCFC switching home games from Yankee Stadium to Citi Field
I really don’t get why the Giants stay in Queens bruh.
Rip to the grounds crew
Shared stadiums shpuld just not exist.

You can really do that with baseball stadiums though cause they play every day
Not at home. You could share a baseball stadium, would be tough for scheduling for sure.

How did the grass hold up.
Just remember this, folks. There's only ONE NFL football 🏈 team from New York. The Buffalo Bills. 😀👌
I genuinely didn’t know that. Ta.
Funny how the jets never had their own stadium
Lets put
Rangers
Islanders
Nets
Knicks
In Maddison Square Garden
Hell nah that wouldn't work
Jests. Still renting.
Huh? too much for me😮
The Giants played in the Yale Bowl when Yankee Stadium was being renovated. Then moved into the new Giants stadium. They never played at Shea
False
Played at Shea
I thought the same thing. But I Googled it, and it said they played at shea in 1975. I shocked I don't remember it. I remember games at the original Yankee stadium in 1972 and 1973 and 1974 at Yale bowl but not shea stadium in 1975
no. they don’t want play football and baseball same field .
Giants didn't play at Shea Stadium. They played at the Yale Bowl!
They did play at Yale at first, but for the 1975 season they played at Shea. Yale didn’t have modern amenities.
Absolutely false! They never played at Shea Stadium.
