Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Mar 12 18:28:39 2009, in response to Re: NY Mets decline to buy naming rights to Willets Pt station, posted by BrooklynBus on Thu Mar 12 18:02:51 2009. Didn't the city own Shea Stadium too?The new arrangement is better for the city, as while before NYC owned Shea, the new stadium, the Mets will be responsible for the upkeep of the stadium, as well as the parking lots, etc. The city was responsible for the upkeep of Shea, so this does take that burden away from the city. For the money the city saves in this maintenance, they did put money towards the construction costs, but the Mets did sign an agreement that for at least 35 years, they are tied to NY, and could not leave to another city as part of the arrangement. |
