The Atlanta Falcons were forced to move their October 5, 1969 home game versus the Baltimore Colts from Atlanta Stadium to Grant Field at Georgia Tech because the Atlanta Braves hosted the New York Mets in Game 2 of the 1969 National League Championship Series. The same day, the Minnesota Vikings moved their home game versus the Green Bay Packers from Metropolitan Stadium to Memorial Stadium at the University of Minnesota because of an American League Championship Series game between the Minnesota Twins and the Baltimore Orioles. One week later, the Philadelphia Eagles’ game in Baltimore against the Baltimore Colts was pushed from Sunday, October 12, to Monday night, October 13, to accommodate Game 2 of the 1969 World Series between the Orioles and the New York Mets. The following week, the World Series prompted the American Football League to move the game at Shea Stadium between the Houston Oilers and the New York Jets from Sunday, October 19, to Monday night, October 20.
