Sign Of The Times


as you creep closer to the footprint of Shea, the City’s Department of Transportation has made the stadium’s demise official. All signs, it appears, now point to Citi Field. From the College Point Boulevard exit of the Long Island Expressway to the Northern Boulevard exit on the Grand Central, “Citi Field” now covers where “Shea Stadium” used to be.

The last change lies with the MTA, who have yet to change the signs for its “Willets Point/Shea Stadium” stops on the LIRR and subway. A spokesman for the authority said the new stop will be named “Mets/Willets Point” and expected the new signs to be placed by opening day.
