Will the Mets get any say over the station's decor or the schedules of the trains?The el, and the station have been painted in Mets colors for years! Plus, why should the Mets pay for Citigroup's advertising? Agreed on that. But these corporate named stadiums do give a catch22. To the uninitiated, Citi Field doesn't mean Mets the way Shea Stadium did. That will soon change. And most people at this point know that Shea Stadium has been demolished. Are the Yankees paying for the new MN station naming rights? No. The Metro North station is going to be called "Yankees/E. 153rd Street". |
