Official Airline of the Mets

sharpie Oct 02 2006 12:01 PM

So I fly outta LaGuardia on Friday. My plane is delayed so I'm in the terminal for a while. I come back on Sunday, to the same gate except that now there are DELTA AIRLINES - OFFICIAL AIRLINE OF THE NEW YORK METS signs all over the place, even on the little strip right below the baggage carousel. I imagine they've been the oficial airline for a while but they didn't make noise about it til the playoffs.

Or until the Mets proved to be anything but horrible. Some companies are so vain.

Airlines have been frequent sponsors of sports arenas during this naming-rights era. I wonder if this partnership is a potential sign of things to come for a certain stadium coming soon next door to an airport near you? Delta already has the basketball arena in SLC, Utah I believe.

I can see it now FK....Mets new stadium will be called The Delta Hanger.

i'm not sure that an airline tie-in would have a positive effect on stadium food.

I've had some good meals on British Airways. In fact, when you go to England, there's a good chance that the airplane food will be the best thing you taste during your entire trip.

The unintentional implication is that the plane is Kitty Hawk-class.

Christ this kid will endorse anything. Feces-drinking preachers? Sure, why not! Bankrupt airline? Where do I sign!

Money's money. I liked Vitamin Water before I saw his billboard. Now I like it even more.

]That's a pretty nasty thought. Necessary? Maybe if it was funny. You're missing a reference.
