Citi Field faces water damage, faulty wiring

The Mets’ new Citi Field is already breaking down, the New York Post reported. Several of the luxury suites have water damage, and other areas of the stadium have seen mold, falling concrete and signs, flooding of the outfield seats and faulty electrical wiring. Actor Jerry Seinfeld’s luxury suite and three others have developed mold as a result of a water leak. These suites cost $250,000 to $500,000 per year to rent. Repairmen tore down the suites’ walls in early August to look for the source of the leak. Dave Howard, the team’s executive vice president of business operations, said the problems were to be expected in a 1.2 million-square-foot building.
