Scuds, Dodger stadium is a baseball only facility while Shea was built for the Jets & Mets. Pretty much every multi-sport facility sucks for baseball, and is better for football. This is the reason 3 Rivers, The Vet, Riverfront, J. Murphy etc... were all mediocre at best for baseball.

At least they realized these 2 sport facilities are crappy for baseball and they don't build them anymore. The bad thing is, as tax payers we're paying for 2 new stadiums in every major city.
