Most of the time the red fills in counter-clockwise. Until it is over 50%, then the red fills in clockwise.
Lots of the map circles actually represent MULTIPLE airports. But they still "represent" them with a three letter code. Sometimes by the largest airport (ORD, SFO), sometimes by a non-airport code (NYC), and sometimes by the second largest (DFW is larger that DAL).

While I'm on this soapbox: ExpertFlyer. If you travel once per month or more, it is ABSOLUTELY worth the $10/mo. They provide a lot of info straight from GDSes, somehow. Invaluable for rebooking and seat changes.
Highly recommend the 'Map View' tab and the 'Weather' tab (especially with Cities + Fronts enabled).
> Closed TO NON SKED TRANSIENT GA ACFT EXC PPR 617-561-2500
Which translates to “closed to non-scheduled transient general aviation aircraft, except those with prior permission from calling 617-561-2500”
They just don’t want me flying my Skyhawk in there at 90kts on final, at least without calling them first so they can get some cathartic tongue lashing in before giving me permission.
