The Daily Background

Lovely:

Greetings, for the first time, from Citi Field where the fans are filing in, the rain is drizzling, and the concourses smell like hot dogs and onions. The scheduled game is between St. John’s and Georgetown, but Mets gear seems to be the dress code among the 30,000 fans who paid $5 to get a first look at their new home field.

*The wide-open concourses make it very easy to get up and scramble to the string of concession stands — I recommend the Shake Shack in center field — without missing a pitch.

*As for the gleaming new press box, which now comes with windows that open and close, my one concern is the end of the left-field foul line. It’s hidden by a set of seats that juts out on the third-base side. It doesn’t conceal much, but I wonder if we’re going to have the Moises Alou Memorial Mystery Corner.

… Maybe CitiBank wouldn’t be in such awful shape (and their stock wouldn’t be worth less than their ATM fees) if they didn’t stop pulling pointless moves like sponsoring stadiums.

Just a thought.

Here’s to hoping that none of the $45 billion in taxpayer funds that ShittybankCitiBank has received will be used for lavish but pointless vanity sponsorships like this.
