BOSTON -- The Citgo sign that lights up the Boston skyline and is seen by baseball fans when a home run balls sails over Fenway Park's left-field wall has been granted preliminary landmark status.
The 3,600-square-foot sign in Kenmore Square features a red delta and the blue word "CITGO" on a white background. There was fear it could soon be gone because the six-story building on which it sits is part of a parcel of Boston University buildings for sale.
WHDH-TV reports the Boston Landmarks Commission granted preliminary landmark status to the Citgo sign Tuesday.
