Citi/tax payer field or Bailout Ballpark?

As the day starts and we wait for the lousy football games to start and for the turkey that we will gorge ourselves on finished cooking we have a question to ponder as Met fans.

Do we prefer the New stadium to be called Citi/Tax payer field or Bailout ballpark? With Citibank laying off over 50,000 and the government coming in to rescue the ailing bank it seems there is an outcry on the name that adorns our stadium that will open next April. Every one thinks the Mets need to remove the name Citi Field . Of course I am sure many Fans would like it just be called the ballpark at Shea.

Well over the coming months we will see if anything changes with the name which I am sure it wont unless the bailout flops and Chase comes to the rescue like they did with Wamu.

40 Million reasons are why the Mets sold out. I hope the Mets don't wind up playing at HBSC park or Chase field.

Check out some interesting articles on this topic from ESPN here and some guy over at Newsday that usually is not very opinionated about his feelings with the Mets here
