    The Mets new Stadium

    Do you feel that a company that is receiving tax-payer bail out money from the Federal Government should still have thier company name on a stadium??? For example Citi-Field the home of the NY Mets??? Why do I see a problem with this???

    I hear people making this argument every day but the bottom line is that they signed a contract with the Mets in 2006 before they had financial problems and needed a bail out. It is a legal and binding contract that they have to fulfill, it is part of their debt. Unless they fold completely and file for bankruptcy I don't see why they should be free of their obligation to fulfil the contract. It is not like they made a deal after they got the bail out money.

    Metsfan,
    I agree with you but I still have a problem with this. All well I guess that I will just sit back and enjoy it.
