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. [more]
