Is "Shitty Field" Already Falling Apart?

With an extensive list of maintenance problems stemming from faulty wiring, falling signs, crumbling concrete and collapsing pipes, insiders are apparently referring to the Mets' new stadium as "Shitty Field." Even Jerry Seinfeld must be scratching his head and asking himself who the ad wizards are behind that one with word that Seinfeld's luxury suite was one of a handful of $500,000 boxes that had to have the walls knocked down because water damage created molding in them.

Well new e-mails made public do just that in revealing how the mayor's office put on a full court press in its attempts to obtain a luxury box at the new Yankee Stadium.
