Very small idea:
Rename Fenway T station; maybe Fens, or Landmark, or something like that. Then, put an icon on the subway map indicating specifically that Kenmore (and maybe the newly renamed Fenway) station is the stop for the Red Sox (maybe just the Red Sox 'B' next to the name).
Just to help stop all those stupid arguments you hear from out of town tourists when you're on the D line leading up to a Red Sox game: "Where do we get off? " "Well, this stops called Fenway, that must be the one." "I thought Kenmore was closer." "Lets just go to the Fenway one, we know for sure that one's close."
I like it! Here's an idea:
Change Yawkey (Worcester Line) to "Fenway"
Change Fenway (D-Branch) to "Audubon Circle"
Keep Kenmore the same.
Rant:
With increased service on the Worcester Line, that could easily become an alternative for many people going to Fenway Park. Riding the D Branch outbound after Red Sox games, the most popular stop for departure is probably Riverside. Many of these people park there and are coming from all over the MetroWest. Given the quicker, more convenient ride, many people may start parking at Wellesley Farms or Wellesley Square and taking the commuter rail in.
