“Jackie Robinson Field” sure would have sounded nice, but did anybody really believe that the new Mets stadium would escape the grasp of the modern corporate naming era? It was recently announced that the new Mets stadium will be named “CitiField” after corporate sponsor Citigroup, the nation’s largest bank. I have many great memories of Shea Stadium but it is a horrible stadium in which to watch a ballgame. I want to take Maegan to at least one Mets game at Shea before it is torn down. After that, hooray for CitiField in 2009 (as long as they keep that apple that pops out of the top hat after a Mets homerun).
