Trying to recall the other grass stadiums (old turf stadiums like 3 Rivers and Cincy and Kingdome covered up the dirt around the bases) that did baseball and NFL.
Rams when they played in Anaheim, Chargers at Jack Murphy.

The Chiefs and Raiders game this Sunday will likely be the last NFL game ever played on a baseball infield. Miami at one point also shared the stadium too. But with the Raiders out of town for 6 weeks after this it would take a World series run by the A's to need to keep the infield that long.
I saw a thing about how with the growth of the NFL once the Raiders move all teams will have their own stadium. Back in the early 70's the cookie cutter multi purpose stadium was used in Pittsburgh, Cincinatti, Philiadelphia, St.Louis to name a few. Kansas City built two separate stadiums beside each other. Those other ones have all since shut down while the Stadiums in KC are still in use.
It would be interesting to see what cost less over a 50 year period of time. Build tear down rebuild multiple new stadiums. Or build two stadiums plus all the upkeep and renos on the old ones in KC.
