New Ft. Myers Stadium Plans Scrapped?

According to completely unreliable sources, the Red Sox have scrapped elaborate plans to add lucrative advertising features to the new JetBlue Park in Fort Myers—set to open this coming Spring. The team had all but inked a deal with an un-named brewery to affix huge, 40ft. beer mugs on each of the new light standards at the park (see artist's rendering above).

Reportedly, the life-like mugs would have been dubbed "Light" Beers (get it?), but the beer-swilling 2011 Red Sox have put the kibosh on the ambitious plans. Forbes List Billionaire (FLB) John Henry is said to be furious that the deal fell through, and has requested air time on several radio stations in Florida to vent his anger.
