Walter OâMalley, owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, wanted to build a domed stadium in Brooklyn with Buckminster Fuller, designer of the geodesic dome. It was to replace Ebbets Field and be where the Barclay Center is now. Robert Moses and New York City denied the project. The rest is history, but imagine ifâŠ
âWalter OâMalley and R. Buckminster Fuller peak inside the large scale dome stadium model for the Dodgers in Brooklyn on November 22, 1955. Fuller served as a âguestâ lecturer at Princeton University in 1955-56 where the model was produced. OâMalley was intrigued with the concept of a ballpark with year-round events.â
