[QUOTE="pickup, post: 565183"] Oh, by the way, the official name of the mets' new stadium is Citi Field , not citifinancialfield. To answer your question differently is to look at a similar situation the astros went through.The astros are playing in a different stadium since 2000(?) than the one they used to, the astrodome. I would imagine many went along with the name change as the astrodome is still standing (no one uses it for the most part : notable exception: a staging area for evacuees from new orleans during Katrina) . Oh by the way, the mets will playing the astros there in about a week or less, I predict by the time they arrive to play the first game, they will be 10 1/2 games out of first place . Look at how many name changes and nicknames the new stadium(Minuitemaid park) that the astros play in has gone through: (once again , from wikipedia) Based on its downtown location next to the old Union Station buildings, one of the suggested names (and nicknames) is the Ballpark at Union Station, or the BUS. During its days as Enron Field, it was also dubbed "Ten-Run" or "Home Run" Field due to its cozy left-field dimensions. In keeping with this theme while paying homage to its current sponsor, the nickname "The Juice Box" is colloquially used today.[ [/QUOTE]
