There was an old stadium located on Randall's Island in NYC.

Built on Randalls Island in the East River as a WPA project, 15,000 attendees witnessed Jesse Owens compete at the stadium in the Men's Olympic Trials on July 11, 1936, the opening night of the new facility.[2][3] Downing Stadium also hosted the Women's Olympic Trials in 1964.[1] Later the stadium hosted the 1991 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Football[edit]
Triborough Stadium served as one of two home stadia of the football New York Yankees of the second AFL (along with Yankee Stadium) in 1936 and 1937. The first televised American football game was held at Triborough on September 30, 1939, as Fordham took on Waynesburg. NYU's football team also played its last two seasons at Triborough in 1951 and 1952.[4]
