The Polo Grounds: Requiem for an Arena

1964 · 52 min Documentary

Documentary about the history and imminent demise of the Polo Grounds ballpark in New York. Hosted and narrated by actor Horace McMahon, it was filmed during the winter of 1964 at the now abandoned stadium. The film looked back at its history from its opening in the 19th century, to its glory years as the home of the New York Giants baseball team and its final two years as the home of the amazing (and not in good way) New York Mets - as well as other famous events that took place there, such as football contests and boxing matches.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Polo Grounds: Requiem for an Arena is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1964. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
