New York Mets superfan Frank Fleming unimpressed with $2,300,000,000 Yankee stadium - "This place is a dump"
Visiting Yankee Stadium may be on the bucket list of baseball fans around the globe, but New York Mets superfan Frank Fleming wasn't impressed.
The die-hard Mets supporter was in the Bronx on Tuesday to watch the latest edition of the Subway Series. It was a beautiful night for a game, but Fleming, who is known for his outbursts and hyperbolic takes, once again found a reason to grumble.
Fleming was visibly upset after having to wait 20 minutes for his review. He complained about the excessively loud music which he referred to as a "discotheque." Overall, it's fair to say that Frank was not impressed with the Yankee Stadium.
"This place is a dump," said Fleming.

Fleming did end the video on a somewhat positive note. The 47-year-old provided the Yankee stadium pretzels with a 6.9 out of 10 review, stating that "it's a good pretzel."
The word "dump" might be a little harsh considering the 46,537-capacity Yankee Stadium cost $2.3 billion to build. It has several state-of-the-art facilities and offers fans a range of amenities.
The stadium was inaugurated in 2009 and the first regular season game was played at the new venue against Cleveland Indians on April 16, 2009. That season, the Yankees would go on to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies to win a record 27th World Series championship.

The Yankees are currently 53-48 and trail the Tampa Bay Rays by nine games.
The win takes the Mets to 47-53 on the year. They trail the first-place Atlanta Braves by 17.5 games.
Frank Fleming may have been disappointed with the stadium but the end result likely lifted his spirits. The Mets went on the thrash the Yankees 9-3 to take a 2-1 lead in the season series.
