NEW YORK -- Citigroup says its deal to pay $400 million for naming rights to the New York Mets' new baseball stadium is still on.
The bank's statement came in response to a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday that Citigroup is exploring the possibility of backing out of the deal. The report quoted unidentified people as saying Citigroup has made no final decision on the matter.
The Mets say Citi has promised to honor the agreement between the team and the troubled financial institution.
Two members of Congress said last week that Citigroup should drop its 20-year marketing partnership with the Mets because of the $45 billion federal government bailout the bank received.
Citi Field is set to open in April. | |
