Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Mar 12 11:41:37 2009, in response to Re: NY Mets decline to buy naming rights to Willets Pt station, posted by Mitch45 on Thu Mar 12 11:07:22 2009. 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.The el and station at Willets Point station is not painted orange and blue because of the "state of NY". If that was the case, those colors could come up on any el in the city, yet haven't. It was painted orange and blue for the SOLE reason that it's the Mets station. 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. Beacause the MN station is apparently at 153rd St, not 161st St. Why in the WORLD would they name a station "161st St" when it's at 153rd St? |
