So the new Met’s stadium is going to be called Citifield. Yuck.
Do you know what can be done with this name? [Shitty Field] –I can just see it now, IF the team doesn’t perform well–the name will be so perfect for mockery’s sake that it’s going to get really annoying. Of course that won’t happen though–so shame on me for thinking it.
Really, I don’t think it’s a big deal–fans will get used to it. Money talks–and as horrid as it is– lots of major ballparks have corporate names. And of course, it could have been worse. [I joked with my coworker today, a Yankees fan, that I hope their new stadium ends up being called Tampax Park]
I do think the Mets though are the first NY team to give away naming rights.
Hopefully the name doesn’t change every season -because then the team with their fans won’t really have a place to call home.
I just saw some people shared the same sentiments as me, while others are obviously more pissed.
