Yankees Hijack Jet Blue Park

by Denton on February 24, 2012


Jet Blue Park, the Pride of Lee County. But wait…type www.jetbluepark.com into your browser and look where you end up! Yup, redirected to the Yankees homepage. Shame on the Red Sox marketing folks for missing that one – it will cost them dearly to take ownership of that domain name now. After a little research, it turns out a company named Domains By Proxy actually owns the name. But they’re not out of New York, they are out in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona! Publicity stunt, an attempt to drive the resale cost of the name, or a displaced Yankee fan punking the Sox? Either way, a bit embarrassing. I guess they could have redirected to KFC or Budweiser…

Domains By Proxy isn't the actual owner - they're just a way to keep domain ownership private.  As mentioned in the article syphax posted, it's some Cubs fan.

My older sister was driving by Yankee Stadium today, nad sent me a text asking if I wanted her to throw anything at it. I told her the bird, so she sent me back a text saying it was as good as done.

 bjchit I thought the obligatory thing to do was to take a dump there? That's what I did at the Tour de Eiffel.
