TwoTimer Posted April 6, 2011 #1 Posted April 6, 2011 This funny indeed... http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2011/04/06/2011-04-06_mta_new_york_yankees_seek_resolution_of_stadiums_great_new_york_subway_race_trai.html I havent been to the new stadium so I didnt even know the lines were missing.
Pablo M 201 Posted April 6, 2011 #2 Posted April 6, 2011 I was wondering about that because I was at the game last night. I figured it had to do with something financial among other things such as miscommunication.
Shortline Bus Posted April 6, 2011 #3 Posted April 6, 2011 This funny indeed...http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2011/04/06/2011-04-06_mta_new_york_yankees_seek_resolution_of_stadiums_great_new_york_subway_race_trai.html I havent been to the new stadium so I didnt even know the lines were missing. Everything with the is money. It's a joke for instance (not to get too off topic lol)that the Metro North station is not named "Yankee Stadium-153rd Street' instead of 'Yankees-153rd Street.' Most of the MNRR conductors (at least on the Hudson Line)still announce that south bronx station as "Yankee Stadium-153rd.' From the tone of this article sounds like the Yankees wanted an offical 'paid' sponsor and still could have went to the for a new deal.

Already read the article my friend thanks:tup:. I was giving an example of the metro north situation in how it related to this issue of the 'great subway race' and money/sponorship.

Funny how a little light of attention on this and it's quickly resolved....

From the tone of this article sounds like the Yankees wanted an offical 'paid' sponsor and still could have went to the for a new deal. Actually, the MNRR station is named Yankees-E153rd Street Charlie Pellet announces it too as "Yankees, East to 153rd Street"
PATCOman Posted April 7, 2011 #12 Posted April 7, 2011 Slightly OT, but there is a race to Citizens Bank Park subway race played at Phillie games. It shows 2 BSS trains, a red and a blue one racing from City Hall to AT&T Station. There is no narration like most races at MLB stadia, and it is played only during a pitching change and not in between an inning. That is how it looked with the old video board. It looks entirely different with the larger, new board.

I don't get why they made the blue, when at least the ( being blue [replaced the ], would've made more sense if they had to have 3 different colors.
PATCOman Posted April 8, 2011 #14 Posted April 8, 2011 IIRC, at the old Yankee Stadium, the ( and were orange.

dkpintar Posted June 3, 2011 #16 Posted June 3, 2011 Years ago on one of my trips to NYC, I came into posession of a ad poster from the inside of a train. It said (simply): "Take the train to the game" and displayed the ( icons.
SI Subway Posted June 7, 2011 #18 Posted June 7, 2011 If there needed to be 3 different colors, the ( should have been yellow, because there actually used to be a yellow . The and would have been kept their usual colors. Just my two cents...
CTK246 Posted June 7, 2011 #19 Posted June 7, 2011 If the ( was yellow, it'd run on Broadway, making it pointless.
PATCOman Posted June 8, 2011 #20 Posted June 8, 2011 Not really since it could use the 2nd Avenue subway into the Bronx to Yankee Stadium.

MikeGerald Posted June 9, 2011 #22 Posted June 9, 2011 If there HAD to be three colors I would have made the B train bullet - either black or a dark grey - the original colors of the B-train before it became orange or yellow. Just my thoughts. The dark blue designation for either the B or D train just does not work with the current understanding of the routes of those lines. The orange D-train bullet of course works for the D-train in a historical pattern sense. While the green bullet for the #4 train is not a problem, since it can be rendered in its current color. The B-train in its Black or Dark Grey bullet signage while actually a Washington Heights bound local route designation on the subway maps of the 1970's, just for this animation can be used, and also fit within historical patterns.

PATCOman Posted June 9, 2011 #23 Posted June 9, 2011 Sorta OT, but the Phillies also have a bus race:

Mike The 70( would probably make no sense to younger Yankee fans, while a yellow would be understood by these individuals. The yellow never went to Washington Heights, but it was a fairly recent train that younger fans might actually get. Plus, there needs to be some color in the Subway Race.
