As the days go by, the pressure seems to be mounting on the folks at Citi to get out of their 20-year, $400 million naming rights deal with the New York Mets.
Citigroup has received $45 billion in government bailout money and some believe the deal for the new stadium is therefore not the best use of funds.
Despite all the noise, including a front page story in the Wall Street Journal today, the Mets just sent us this statement.
"In conversations this morning, Citi reinforced that they will honor our legally binding agreement."
