FLUSHING, NY – With CitiGroup in dire financial shape it is time to get to the serious business of what the future Mets Stadium might be named. It goes without saying that in itself, Mets Stadium is a good name and Shea Stadium is even better. But let’s not kid ourselves; we’re branded up the ying yang from subway cars to sneakers to elevators. That’s not going to ever change but the Staten Island pols who want the place called Citi/Taxpapyer Stadium have cracked the door open. So let’s dispense with the overtly comical naming rights such as ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE YUCK STADIUM (ESPYS) or FINANCIAL UNILATERALLY MUDDY BAILOUT LEAVES EMPTY SEATS FIELD (Fumbles Field)or SUB-PRIME LENDING ARENA (SPLA) or ROBERT RUBIN AND THE OTHER CITIGROUP CHOOCH BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO COST EACH AMERICAN AT LEAST A $1000 BLACK HOLE DOME (Black Hole Dome ) or BELOW MARKET PARK (BM Park). What solid corporate giant with a stable cash flow and solid spreadsheet can step in and fill the void, assuring the place the Mets play won’t be a revolving door of naming rights? We don’t want to be a laughing stock like Houston or San Francisco.
The Ballpark at Union Station
Enron Field
Astros Field
Minute Maid Park
SBC Park
Pac Bell Park
AT&T Park
This is New York people. The Yankees play in Yankee Stadium. The Knicks and the Rangers play at Madison Square Garden. The Giants and Jets play in Giants Stadium. The Islanders play at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Those names are names. Names the teams and fans can be proud of and feel secure that nothing is going to change.
We can simply look to our television to understand where the money is. Who is still out there, advertising their products relentlessly, jamming insipid jokes and nauseating jingles down our throats. Yea, a star rises in the East and a naming right saviour will be found.
FLOMAX FIELD – With all of the new bathrooms the new facility has to offer, the Mets team with Flomax to battle male incontinence.
DETROL DOME – With all the new bathrooms the new facility has to offer, the Mets team with Detrol to battle female incontinence.
VERIZON PARK – Every 90 seconds you will be encouraged to text a reply to some inane poll. It will help the Mets raise $15 million a year in extra revenue. Can you hear me now?
PROCEDE PARK – I don’t own the company. I don’t own anything about it. I just know this is the greatest product ever for the appearance of your thinning hair. Look, stop hiding your hair underneath these caps. Stop denying that your hair looks bad. Just do something about it. You can be on the road to fuller, thicker hair – right now by getting on a Procede program. Hey I’m Giuseppe Franco, I’m not putting my name on the line for something that doesn’t work. This is our least favorite because we embrace and encourage baldness.
NEW YORK STATE SMOKERS QUITLINE STADIUM. The Mets and New York team up to eradicate smoking completely. Every time a Met hits a home run a vendor blows a big blast of cigarette smoke in your face. For those of us that don’t smoke, well it will be a little uncomfortable at first but we’ll get used to it. “I use to love to go swimming.”
GEICO GECKO vs. GEICO CAVEMAN FIELD. Far more interesting than a mere baseball game taking place on the field, the gecko and the caveman battle nightly in a Steel Cage Match behind home plate.
DID SOMEBODY SAY DEAL? DOME. Paying homage to bad Auto TV commercials of yon, the Mets endlessly loop car ads on DiamondVision. “Like a Rock”, “This is Our Country” and the presently popular “Saved By Zero.” Aenthestitized fans will go to local dealerships, buy cars and drive them straight back to the dealer through the plate glass window.
THE I’M LOVIN’ IT PARK. McDonalds sponsors McNuggets Mondays, Triple Quarter Pounder Tuesdays, Weight Gain Wednesday, Taco Thursday (Only when So Cal teams are in town), Filet O Fish Friday, Sausage Saturday and Shake Sunday. Say goodbye to the Shake Shack and Blue Smoke and get your subscription to Lipitor up to date.
What do you like as a new name?

Matts, we are talking about the Mutts, so the name should be appropriate for the field. Like:
GAG-REFLEX PARK |

The new Yankee Stadium shall be Junkee Stadium since the aura is not transferable.
As for the Shea I say......."O Shea " has a good ring to it!

YJ.. that was pretty darn funny.
Clancy... for those of us who are of Latin heritage.. we already called Yankee Stadium 'Jankee Stadium,' so it might sound redundant.
I like Saved By Zero Stadium. Lower c Field might work too... har har. But the most appropriate thing would be just to call it Fans' Field... because after all... that's who ultimately pays for it. |

| There was already a Metropolitan stadium back where AW and Clancy's Vikes played under Bud Grant and where Harmon Killebrew and Rod Carew roamed. They should just name it Jackie Robinson Field and be done with it. Who cares what the rotunda is named. If Citi survives though I don't mind it being named Citi field, since Citibank has been a NY institution. |
