It’s the stadium with name. For now anyway.
Today, the Brooklyn Cyclones announced that it has ended its agreement with National Grid, which merged with the utility company, Keyspan, in 2007. They will be announcing a new name for the stadium soon. From the Brooklyn Paper: here’s a quote from a senior official at National Grid.
“Keyspan and National Grid enjoyed a great partnership with the Cyclones,” said National Grid Vice President John Caroselli. “However, due to the fact that the Keyspan name no longer exists, it was an opportunity for both parties to discuss other options.”
Keystone? Are they in Pennsylvania, not in the same borough as Pennsylvania Avenue?
Ah, just call it BUG Stadium. Remember when you used to get the bills from Brooklyn Union Gas and they asked you not to write “BUG” on the checks?
Beats Citi Field.
Boo. I was hoping they reach back to their roots and go for Brooklyn Union Gas Stadium.
