Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Thu Mar 12 18:22:01 2009, in response to Re: NY Mets decline to buy naming rights to Willets Pt station, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Mar 12 11:41:16 2009. There's a parallel in NYC: Carnegie Hall was already there when the BMT Broadway line opened, but for some reason there is no mention of it at the 57th St. station. Why would it be so difficult to rename the station, "57th St.-Carnegie Hall?"OTOH Lincoln Center didn't even exist when the original IRT line opened, yet the 66th St. station was promptly renamed, "66th St.-Lincoln Center" when most of the buildings were completed. Does anyone know exactly when the renaming took place? Philharmonic Hall, now Avery Fisher Hall, opened first, in 1962. The NYC Opera Theater opened next, I believe, followed by the new Met in 1966. I remember it was already called "66th St.-Lincoln Center" by 1968, when I used that station for the first time on July 1, of all dates. |
