Triborough Stadium served as one of two home stadiums of the second AFL team New York Yankees (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. It was for many years the home of the Stuyvesant High School Peglegs and the Cardinal Hayes High School football teams.
