Meet the Mess (Mets)

[pokerfan]

The Mets' new $850 million stadium is breaking down at about the same rate as its beleaguered lineup, the Post has learned.

Less than a season old, Citi Field has been plagued by water damage to several luxury suites -- including Jerry Seinfeld's -- as well as mold, falling signs and concrete, flooding in outfield seats, faulty electrical wiring and shoddy tile work, sources said.

"Yankees fans must have built the place," an insider scoffed.

"Shitty Field -- that's what we call it."

Assemblyman Richard Brodsky (D-Westchester), who criticized the city Industrial Development Agency over its deal to give the Mets and Yankees tax-free bonds to build new stadiums, said there should be an assessment of the stadium's condition now that the inaugural season is drawing to a close.

"Taxpayer money is going to build the stadiums for these wealthy private entities, and it's not clear that anyone is checking on anything," Brodsky said. "No one knows who's accountable."

1. That sounds like much of America.

It seems the more we pay, the less we get.

What happened to the Mets this year?

3. SNY - the Mets television network...

has been running ads all season of how Citi Field was completely build using Union carpenters & contractors.
How long now before we start hearing about how inferior union-built buildings are?
