Mets say ballpark will remain Citi Field: The New York Mets say the name Citi Field will remain on their new ballpark and believe the struggling bank will survive its current economic crisis following a government bailout.

Citigroup is paying the Mets $400 million over 20 years for naming rights to the stadium, scheduled to open next year. Two New York City councilmen said last week that the ballpark's name should be changed to Citi/Taxpayer Field.

"We think we can bring the right people to help them market their product so that they can be a going concern," Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said. "It's not really Citi's fault that they're in this problem. They're a lot of other banks in the same situation."

Asked if he would step down after this season, Bellotti told reporters during a conference call he didn't think so.

"It could be a year, it could be more," he said. "I don't know."

Bellotti is 115-55 in 14 seasons at Oregon and has taken the Ducks to 12 bowl games.
