Fenway Park

Fenway Park
Boston, MA
Summer 2011

Game Day Atmosphere: Unbelievable!  Red Sox Nation is everywhere! We were in different parts of the city on game-day and the amount of shirts, hats, jerseys, etc. that we saw was amazing!  Of course, you must partake and wear your Red Sox gear to feel part of it!
Stay: In downtown Boston.  There are some nice hotels in the city that are close to everything.  Lots of families and tourists.
View: Incredible! Fenway Park opened in 1912 and is the oldest MLB ballpark.  When you see the Green Monster and sea of Red Sox Nation pouring in to the stadium it is a step back in history, which goes hand-in-hand with the entire Boston experience.
Arrive: Take the subway and get off at Kenmore Station, but allow plenty of time.  Boston was unique from other major city subway systems in that there would be "subway traffic" and we would be at a complete stop for several minutes.
Concessions: Get an Italian Sausage dressed with onions and peppers.  These folks know how to prepare food at Fenway.  Pizza, pretzels, and dogs were also very good.
Not advertised: Yawkey Way, the street outside of Fenway Park, is closed 2-3 hours prior to first pitch on game days and is a must visit.  There are street performers, food vendors, a huge Red Sox store, and many other sights.  It is located outside Fenway Park between home plate and left field.
Not in the box score: Seeing MLB history is just amazing.  Knowing that Babe Ruth, Ted Williams (look for the famous and only red seat in the outfield where Williams hit the longest home run at Fenway Park at 502 feet), Carl Yastrzemski, and Carlton Fisk (most know the right field pole is named The Pesky Pole, but the left field foul pole is named The Fisk Pole for the infamous home run Fisk waved fair in the 1975 World Series) played here takes your breath away.
Final Box: St. Boston Red Sox 13 Kansas City Royals 9
Attendance: 37,460 Time: 3:52
