I think this closed before 1971. The plaza built on the site had a J.M. Field's Department Store operating in the late 60's. Since it is across the street and just down the road from the Latham Drive-In site, I believe the Latham was the replacement for the Saratoga.

The Saratoga Drive-in was advertised as open in the Albany Times-Union during the 1971 season, which was the last year any advertising appeared for this location.
