"The el, and the station have been painted in Mets colors for years!"The Mets colors are orange and blue, which also happen to be the official colors of the City of New York. You forget that the station does not only serve the Mets, but also serves the US Open at Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums, neither of which have anything to do with the Mets and everything to do with New York City. "That will soon change." Doubt it. In fact, the way things are going, I'm not sure the Citi Field name will be around for long. They should change it to "US Treasury Field." "No. The Metro North station is going to be called "Yankees/E. 153rd Street"." That's even worse than "Mets/Willets Point." What does East 153rd Street have to do with the Yankees? Zip. The Yankees have been identified with East 161st Street and River Avenue for decades. |
