Hot Foot Scoop: New Mets Stadium To Be Named CitiField

According to a posting on HotFoot, a couple readers whose daddies work for CitiBank tipped him off that the groundbreaking on the new Mets stadium will occur Monday (Finally!)* and it will be announced that the name of the new park will be CitiField.

I agree with one poster on that site who said the new name didn't bother him, but it will if 5 years later it becomes Sprint Field and then Googlefield a few years after that.

*So, if the groundbreaking is Monday, what do they call all the construction that has gone on since the summer in the Shea parking lot? The ground looked pretty broken to me.
