About the Polo Grounds:

The Polo Grounds were located in Coogan's Hollow and was noted for its distinctive bathtub shape, very short distances to the left and right field walls, and an unusually deep center field.

In baseball, the original Polo Grounds was home to the New York Metropolitans and the New York Giants until 1957. It also was the home field of the New York Yankees from 1913 through 1922 and the New York Mets in their first two seasons in 1962 and 1963. The ballpark hosted the 1954 World Series as well as the 1934 and 1942 Major League Baseball All-Star Games.

In American football, the Polo Grounds was home to the New York Jets of the American Football League who played at there from the league's inaugural season of 1960 through 1963.

Other sporting events held at the Polo Grounds included soccer, boxing, and Gaelic football. The last sporting event at the Polo Grounds was a football game between the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills on December 14, 1963. Shea Stadium opened in 1964 and replaced the Polo Grounds as the home of the Mets and Jets.
