1955
the dodgers found themselves victims of their own success soon thereafter. ebbets field never seated more than 35,000 people, and the constraints of the neighborhood made its expansion impossible. it had almost no automobile parking for dodger fans who had moved east to suburban long island, though it was near a subway station. walter o'malley, who obtained majority ownership of the dodgers in 1950, announced plans for a privately-owned domed stadium at the atlantic yards in brooklyn (currently the site of barclays center), where a large market was being torn down. however, new york city building commissioner robert moses refused to help o'malley secure the land, instead wanting the dodgers to move to a city-owned stadium in flushing meadows in the borough of queens (the future site of shea stadium and citi field). o'malley refused to consider moses' proposal, famously saying, "we are the brooklyn dodgers, not the queens dodgers!" as a result, o'malley began to flirt publicly with los angeles, using a relocation threat as political leverage to win favor for a brooklyn stadium. ultimately, o'malley and moses could not come to agreement on a new location for the stadium, and the club moved west to los angeles after the 1957 season. during their last two years in brooklyn, the dodgers played several games each year in jersey city, new jersey's roosevelt stadium, a tactic by o'malley to force a new stadium to be built.
