The WSJ tells us that Citi Field is on a temporary certificate of occupancy…but relax..not a big deal..the Yankees have the same thing..however I thought it was interesting.
The cash-strapped New York Mets have failed to occupy more than 20,000 square feet of retail space as the team begins its third season in its $800 million Citi Field stadium, the primary reason the Queens stadium has failed to receive a final sign-off from the city.
Also interesting is this…
A team official acknowledged that executives have been actively trying to fill the space but have been hampered by the fact that the property faces “the auto repair and junk yards across the street.
I guess some day when the Cosmos or Islanders play across 126th street and there’s a few hotels and buildings there we’ll see storefronts along the McFadden’s side of the building. I believe there to be similar spaces on the first base side.
