Citi bought the naming rights long before the economic crisis from what I heard. They won't be allowed to cancel the contract according to the stadium owner(s)...

Yeah! Then conquer Me'h'ico, Canada, and the rest of South America starting with Venezuela. Then we conquer Europe, except France-we just kill off all the Frenchies to keep from polluting the gene pool any further.... and so on.

Bailouts are generally not a good idea, unless they result in more fluid credit availability.
