History of New York Giants Stadiums. The Giants shared the Polo Grounds with the New York Baseball Giants from the time they entered the league in 1925 until they moved to the larger Yankee Stadium for the start of the 1956 season. In 1973, the Giants announced plans to move to a new stadium in New Jersey for the 1976 season, and the city of New York announced that Yankee Stadium was planning a two-year renovation after the 1973 baseball season. The Giants were allowed to play their first two games of the 1973 season at Yankee Stadium before moving to a new location. That new location ended up being the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut.

After the 1974 season, it was announced that the Giants were going back to New York City to play at Shea Stadium until the opening of Giants Stadium in 1976. The Giants played the first four games of the 1976 season on the road just in case there were any delays with the opening of the new stadium. The Giants made their debut at Giants Stadium on October 10, 1976 against the Dallas Cowboys before a sellout crowd.
