The formerly Shea Stadium stop on the 7 train is going to be re-christened “Mets/Willets Point.”
The Mets didn’t want to give the MTA any cash, so the MTA gave the Mets the big MOSFU (trust me the mos-f-u is a bad thing).
I think the MTA should go whole-hog and call the station “Baseball Stadium” and charge the Mets for the right to emblazon their corporate name on a subway station. I understand you can get big bucks for corporate sponsorship these days.
Meanwhile in the Bronx, the subway stations keep their “Yankee Stadium” names, but the new Metro-North stop will be called “Yankees/153rd.”
For those who want to read more I must admit I was inspired by this. Watch the closing doors.
