Shea Bridge

I'm OK with that. Sounds a bit awkward, a bit overdue. Not bad.

No disrespect to Bill Shea, but I'd like to think that the bridge is named after the stadium.

I'm more than fine with it. A symbolic - if not actual - bridge from the old stadium to the new gets named for the first place and franchise founder while it helps to reverse the feeling that the Wilpons wanted to bury any hint that there even was a park before this one. Nice little plaque with a representation of Shea next to it also.

It feels right, even if it doesn't sound right. I lobby for the centerfield area to be named "La Piazza," though.

Bill Shea Bridge rolls of the tongue sounding better than Shea Bridge.

'Shea Bridge' does sound a bit like some young actor who starts out getting all the teen heart-throb roles and is the star of the gossip pages before his career eventually stalls when he grows out of his "cuteness". Years later he will time his attempted comeback with an announcement - to the surprise of absolutely no one - that he's a proud gay American and that the hot starlets he was seen with all those years ago were just a concoction of studios to bolster his box-office image, but now he's glad to no longer be living a lie. His comeback goes nowhere.
