Citi Field As Banged Up As Mets Roster

Post by UNHWildCats »

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.

"Sh- - -y Field -- that's what we call it."

Perhaps the biggest bungle is a water leak that sprang in early August, the source said, creating mold in Seinfeld's lavish suite and three others nearby.

The posh boxes rent for $250,000 to $500,000 a year.

The problem was so bad that repairmen were forced to tear down walls in the suites on Aug. 9 to search for the source of the leak while the Mets were on a seven-game road trip, a source said.

"I think Jerry's a Yankees fan now," a neighboring suite-holder joked of Seinfeld, who was not available for comment.
