Let's Play, "Name That Ballpark"

Taxpayer Field- Your tax dollars at work


News item: Two New York City Councilmen in Queens have suggested that the New York Mets new ballpark, which will open next year, have a slight name change. You see, Citi Group (that outfit that is getting a 25 billion dollar bailout from the Government), is paying the Mets 400 million dollars over the next twenty years for naming rights to the stadium. Thus, the new ballpark will be known as "Citi Field".

The council members have suggested that the ballpark be known as "Citi/Taxpayer Field".

I like the idea, but why not just call it "Taxpayer Field". You know, cut out the middleman.
