Slog - Comments on That's Pronounced 'Coke' http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/thats_pronounced_coke The New York State Theater—part of Lincoln Center—will now be known as the Koch Theater, after New York's richest citizen, who just threw $100 million down the old theater-hole.

just the main theatre building will be re-named.

Lincoln Center consists of more than a couple of buildings. some already named after folks (like Avery Hall).

anyway. hope he gets good seats.

There will be a Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. They will not be changing the name of Lincoln Center.
