Two congressmen are calling on Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to cancel Citigroup's naming rights deal for the new Mets stadium.
Ohio Democrat Dennis Kucinich and Texas Republican Ted Poe are asking Geithner to dissolve Citigroup's contract with the Mets for the naming rights to Citi Field.
The lawmakers say the struggling bank should not be able to spend millions on naming rights while receiving federal bailout money.
Citigroup signed a contract in 2006 to pay the Mets $400 million over 20 years for naming rights. The Mets say they are fully committed to their contract with Citigroup.
