  • Well, the NY Giants played At the Polo Grounds in Manhattan until 1958, when they moved to SF. Those fans were left without a team, just like the Brooklyn Dodgers fan. So a team was created to unite both of those fan bases that were left team-less. THE METROPOLITANS.

  • this stadium was rushed. it wont last more than 20 years.

  • New York Giants orange? WTF

  • Check out the Ballpark in Arlington Texas---very similar in many ways -- and built 1st!

  • Does this guy whistle his "S" sounds a lot or do I have a brain tumor?

  • Isn't that the stadium that rep. Kucinich said it should be called "Taxpayer Field."
