Fuck sports franchises AND banks that mooch off the taxpayers. Change the name to 'Citisucks Field'.

OK, Really, This moron thinks a sports team can generate enough business to save a multinational conglomerate in as much trouble as CitiCorp??? Really? Clearly he doesn't remember Enron, and their field, (yes #8 it was in Houston. Now I think its Minute Maid field.) I'm just happy he working for a baseball team. At least he can't do any damage to the economy. #12, would you prefer he were in banking or automobiles? (OK, bad examples!)

It's not really Citi's fault? Then who's fault is it? This guy is a major asshat. Why are the Mets even allowing him to open his mouth on media outlets?

Shea needed to be replaced. The stadium was horribly tacky and stuck in a 70's timewarp. Citifield is a great improvement. Unfortunately it gives them an excuse to jack up ticket prices.

Citigroup is dropping $10 billion on Spain's Itinere. Not bad use of the $45 billion in taxpayer money. Citi should be selling off assets and downsizing rather than taking on more debt and risks. Crikey. http://www.thestreet.com/story/10450542/1/todays-outrage-citi-takes-cash-to-spain.html?puc=googlen&cm_ven=GOOGLEN&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA

#1: jen chung has major grammar issues. #2: the romans and the jewish slaves built the colliseum and we still go today. why do both teams have to waste money on another venue? our kids are barely getting an education in new york city. where are our priorities?

After looking at that rotunda shot, I forsee a couple more "Drunk falls off escalator at Shea" incidents.

No, of course it's not Citi's fault the situation they're in. It's always someone else's fault. Everyone has an excuse. I hope the Mets come in last place.

And of course, if you happen to be a Citi cardholder, depositor or borrower you are invited to share their luxury suites anytime you're in town.
