park; the Willets Point Boulevard station would be the closest stop to the fair, since the World's Fair Line was not planned to be rebuilt. The NYCTA set aside $3.2 million for the expansion of the Willets Point Boulevard station and the nearby Corona Yard. Around the same time, Shea Stadium was built north of the Willets Point Boulevard station as a baseball stadium for the New York Mets. To make way for Shea Stadium, the Willets Point Boulevard park-and-ride facility was closed in 1962 and replaced with a 1,200-space parking lot south of the station. A direct ramp was built from the station to Flushing Meadows Park to accommodate increased crowds. The wooden platforms were also replaced with more durable concrete slabs. With the opening of the World's Fair in April 1964, trains were lengthened to eleven cars, and the NYCTA bought 430 R33 and R36 "World's Fair" cars to provide this enhanced service. The station was renamed Willets Point–Shea Stadium. The "Willets Point" in the station's name is derived from the boulevard. The boulevard was named after the Willets Point peninsula at Fort Totten, northeast. The area near the Willets Point Boulevard station became known as Willets Point during the 20th century. One of Shea Stadium's parking lots, adjacent to the station, was expanded in 1978, becoming a park-and-ride facility with 1,500 spaces. In 1983, Donald Trump proposed erecting a football stadium within Flushing Meadows–Corona Park and have the city government renovate the Willets Point subway station; however, the stadium was never built. 21st century The MTA reintroduced express service to Manhattan at the conclusion of New York Mets weeknight games in July 2007. Super-express trains to Manhattan also started operating after weekend games in April 2008. The super-express trains run for approximately one hour after the game and only make three stops in Queens before entering Manhattan: 61st Street–Woodside, Queensboro Plaza, and Court Square. After Shea Stadium was replaced with Citi Field in 2009, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority renamed the stop Mets–Willets Point, omitting the corporate-sponsored name associated with the current stadium. Citigroup had sponsored the new baseball field but did not sign a naming rights deal with the MTA. Had the naming rights deal been achieved, the station would have been known as Willets Point–Citi Field. In conjunction with Citi Field's construction, the MTA also spent $40 million to renovate the subway and LIRR stations at
