7LineFan Posted June 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2009 Anyone remember this thread, where for at least a little bit we talked about corporate sponsorship of stations and renaming those stations with corporate names? I just heard on WCBS-880 that the just did that with Atlantic-Pacific and Barclays Bank. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted June 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 24, 2009 It's not a corporate sponsorship of an MTA station. It's no different than Yankee Stadium or Mets Stadium on the stations close by. Barclays is paying Ratner naming rights for the new Nets center in downtown Brooklyn to Barclays Center. Ratner is simply paying the MTA for something it would have done anyways.

kawasaki3 Posted June 25, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2009 will i hear the automated massage of R142 of , , when they apporach Atlanitc avenue ( will the automated massage will say Flatbush Avenue Next Stop is Atlantic - Pacfic Barclays Bank? This is Atlanitc - Pacfic Barclays Bank? Why not renaming the 42 street Grand central station for , , , and Brooklyn Bridge City Hall. Brooklyn Bridge city hall station should change it name to: Brooklyn Bridge - city hall that can be name after edward brooke a republican senator in 1970? LOL?

Y2Julio Posted June 25, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 25, 2009 Once again, it's not the bank's name going into the station, it's the name of the new New Jersey Nets arena's name which is Barclay Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
