Not a bank, a credit union. The Chases and the Future Chases of the world are reported to be “disappointed.”

The Municipal Credit Union – the City’s largest credit union – will be picking up the tab that Keyspan Energy/National Grid is leaving behind, and the stadium will become MCU Park. The Brooklyn Paper reports:

“MCU and the Cyclones are a great fit,” said Cyclones General Manager Steve Cohen. “All of their members are workers like firefighters and cops — and that really matches our fan base.”

Later, he added, “Hey, at least we’re not selling out to TARPBank like the parent club, right?” (No, I’m kidding, he didn’t really say that.)
