As gigantic ads go, the big Pepsi sign out there was at least somewhat Queens relevant as it mimicked the "real" Pepsi neon sign on the East River in LIC (Pepsi moved away years ago but they kept the iconic sign there). The citifield one is too "compressed" to be an actual replica.

It's been The Pepsi Porch for like 7 years now. Do you really think we'll ever call it by any other name? Whoever endorses it, it'll have to be one impressive display to knock Pepsi out of the name. For fans at least.
|
Edgy MD Nov 10 2015 05:23 AM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
It'll be a matter of weeks. If Gary Cohen calls it the Home Depot Deck or the Bleacher Report Bleachers, I have no doubt the culture will fall in line. Bud Harrelson was the shortstop for a decade, and then he wasn't. And he was a human being. Folks move on.
|
d'Kong76 Nov 10 2015 02:28 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
I think this would make a cool big neon sign replacement.
|
Benjamin Grimm Nov 10 2015 02:30 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
Fans should probably just call it "The Porch" and ignore any corporate sponsorship. But I doubt that will happen.

Yeah, sure. So the next time the Royals visit, they could bring their WS trophy and team pose with it under the Royal Crown Cola sign.

Hah, wasn't on the Royals wavelength but point taken.

Did anyone take up sponsorship of the Mo's Zone?
|
Ceetar Nov 10 2015 02:56 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
|
pretty much. I did like that it fit the other Pepsi sign, as far as big corporate signs go. The Citi arch would certainly fit on top of that pretty easily. And would be nice and ugly. One thing to think about here is the flag poles. They cut them lower and moved the flags around when the realized it was blocking the Pepsi sign, but now they could go back to making them normal sized and spread out the banners and what not. I figure it's 2:1 odds it's Budweiser anyway. 3:1 that they turn it into a bar/SRO area. (which, besides not having good beer, would be pretty cool imo) 1:2 that if they do that, we get big long tables along the back of the seats and ushers leading down to the seats to prevent people like me from wandering down there to take pictures.

And that's why we still, to this day, call Wilmer "Buddy." We don't move on easily, friend.
|
d'Kong76 Nov 10 2015 03:04 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |

That would probably work. And if Citi and The Mets have trouble financing it they could get a government subsidy or bailout.
|
Centerfield Nov 10 2015 03:21 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
Why stop at allowing sponsorship of the upper deck? Why not the entire field?

The Dairylea Deck or Rheingold Ridge would keep it historically on point, though those probably aren't actionable sponsorships in 2015.

In keeping with Fred naming a part of the stadium after a former New York athlete (the Jackie Robinson Rotunda), they could name it the Lawrence Taylor Coke Corner. Later

Until this thread I had never heard of Melissa and Doug. Are they relatively new? Maybe they came along after my kids were too old for their toys? (My youngest is 14.)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 07 2015 02:42 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
Melissa & Doug are sort of a "retro" brand that makes wholesome toys out of wood that harken back to the kinds of stuff we might have played with as kids -- as opposed to the plasticy, electonic "modern" toys of the major "Big Toy" brands. As evidenced by marketing partnerships with the Mets though, they are actually becoming a big brand unto themselves.
|
Ceetar Dec 07 2015 02:44 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
the paper on the Melissa & Doug fridge magnets are not safe to get wet, just fyi. A toddlers mouth for example, is fairly wet and makes the paper get ruined. poor goat.

Evidence that it might turn blue on occasion (that could have been tint tilted but I didn't do it).

Ceetar Mar 28 2016 07:48 PM Re: No more Pepsi Porch |
blue would be a surprise for a red company who's chief rival that they just replaced color being blue right..?

Not for this Mets fan. Everything should be orange and blue, or just blue. EVERYTHING! I kid (not really). No, being that the Mets primary color is blue I wouldn't be surprised at all. I would salute such a move.

Something brightly lit surrounded by darkness can look a bit bluish. I'm guessing that that's a white LED light which can change to red and other colors.
