Welcome To CitiField
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009The new stadium slated to replace Shea Stadium has been renamed Citi Field after a deal was negotiated with Citi Bank for naming rights to the tune of $20 million per year. Not bad for a team already looking at $400 million in income over the next two decades. There will also be a Delta Airlines area of the new stadium and another large area right behind home plate. There will be many amenities available to fans upon the opening of the new field.Once Opening Day 2009 rolls around, the new Jackie Robinson Rotunda will be unveiled - this is the entrance to the stadium; you may notice a certain resemblance to the entrance of the long lost Brooklyn Dodgers stadium, Ebbets Field.
