[QUOTE="pickup, post: 565159"] As far as I can tell , not too many people call it shea because , citifield was built in one of the parking lots of shea . In the offseason, they finished up citifield and demolished shea stadium. So any old time fan who still goes to a game knows that he is walking to a different building than shea . It is a different building on a different piece of land I don't know too much about Boston Garden, After the name change, is it still the same building? Different building on same land? Or different building on different land? If the first case, yeah, definitely can believe that people call it by the old name. Second case, could still see it, third case would be the most likely scenario in which people will go along with the name change and the third case is definitely the mets scenario . By the way, as of today, mets are 8 and 1/2 games out of first (after losing to atlanta 11-0 last night) with philly at the top and atlanta and the marlins between philly and the mets. What a bunch of losers. Who's gonna get fired this time? The manager or the general manager? My money is on the general manager getting canned . There is a bridge in new york that used to be called the tri-borough bridge, a year ago(?) they changed the name to the R.friend.K. bridge in honor of robert kennedy. Cost the state and city 4 million dollars to change the signs (I don't see how it could cost that much). Everyone still calls it the triborough. New York is the only state that can do a name change on something they own and not only not make any money on it, but lose money. 4 million dollars that could have been spent in a much better fashion.
