Citi shares reverse course, sale talk optimism fades

So, where will the Mets be playing next year? From now on I will refer to the new Mets park as TBD Field.

seriously

This whole thing is fucked. I can’t believe it.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

I say we start a fundraiser

Maybe we can raise enough for one-day naming rights. We can call it “Shea 2: Electric Boogaloo.”

That's awesome

I’ve been referring to it as “New Shea” all along but your idea may be better.

Everyone who has bitched about "Citi Field"

deserves whatever shit-tastic name it’s gonna have if Citibank goes under. In the grand scheme of things, “Citi Field” was as good a corporate name as you could get: at least it sounds good (if they had just named it City Field, would anyone have complained?).

Maybe the government will bailout Citi, and they can re-name the stadium “Taxpayer Park” – at least it will be true.

I prefer geographical names because they are timeless

- Flushing Meadows Field
- Willets Point Park
- Corona Stadium (you could easily get a corporate sponsor for that one)
- Queens County Ballpark
- the Meadow Grounds

Take your pick.

In all honesty

I’d take something along these lines than any corporate/personal naming. I understand the economics of the thing but it would be great to have a name with some local meaning.
