Well, I guess it's official. Citi Field has a logo. Citi signed the naming rights back in 2006, when the stadium was just a model. Now in 2008, somewhat near it's completion, Citi Field is now fixture in the borough of Queens. The stadium will seat 45,000 and will look like a combination of the old Ebbets Field with a modern sense of technology.
One can only ponder some of the other names that were thrown around or rumored...
-Queens Borough Memorial Stadium
-Flushing Park
-Derek Jeter Sucks Stadium (No Joke)
-Larry Jones Field (If you don't get that reference, please don't read my blog anymore)
-Bill Buckner Memorial Field (I guess that one just went over their head or, right through their legs)
-Bobby Bonilla Ball Bark (What? It makes sense. Just say it real fast)
I guess we should be thankful for the name that we have.
