 More Mets NewsOfficials at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority had once hoped that a bit of Citigroup?s $400 million endorsement pact with the Mets might allow some money to come their way as well, through a naming rights deal of their own for the station. But those hopes evaporated with the bank?s near-collapse and the Mets? refusal to share the wealth. So on Tuesday, transit officials informed the Mets that when the subway station (currently named after the team?s former home, the now-demolished Shea Stadium) was rechristened, it would not actually use the name of the new ballpark. Instead, the station, on the No. 7 line, will be called simply Mets/Willets Point. |
