To think, we’d all be Dodgers fans and raving about the rotunda.
The dome would have included air venting, shadowless lighting fixtures, a huge underground car park with four automobile entrances, a promenade lined with shops, restaurants and other facilities, and more, all on a 500-acre plot of land in the center of a four square block area. In fact, it would have been at the southeast corner of Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue—on the site of the Barclays Center.

Wow would have totally changed the baseball landscape in New York.
No New York Mets!
It would have changed New York period…the Giants would have likely stayed too. I used to live close to that area and Brooklyn and Queens would have evolved differently.
I think, as a kid growing up on the Upper West Side, that I would have been a Giants fan. Imagine taking the subway uptown to see Mays & McCovey on a regular basis!
