Fenway Park

[redsoxmaniac19]

Hello, everybody!

Since there are many Red Sox fans here like me, I just wanted to know if anybody here has been lucky enough to visit Fenway Park. I hear that it's a very nice place, and that they improved it a little bit. I've never seen it, but I've always wanted to go there and check the place out.

There's no leg room, everything is expensive and often there's a pole right in front of your seat. But I love it.

[redsoxmaniac19]

Why is there a pole in front of your seat?

I honestly do not know how to answer this question. There are poles in front of your seat sometimes. It looks like this: http://stevestewart.mlblogs.com/View-thumb-300x225.jpg

It doesn't appear to affect you at all when you're sitting in a seat.

[Cocos Disciples]

Unless you're in the seat that the picture was taken in, then it sucks. I've never actually sat in one of those seats, mine is very close to that section but is only obstructed in a bit of LF.

Awww.

It's a nice place, but if you've ever eaten a meal in your lifetime don't expect to fit comfortably into the seats.

I agree with this assessment. They keep slapping down more coats of paint and "adding to the fan experience" (read, taking more of your money). Yet it is a compelling venue to watch baseball. It is the nicest dump I've ever been to.

This too!

 

And don't assume that your seat will be pointed in the direction that you choose to view!

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Maybe new seats should be in their renovation plans sometime.

Fenway Park is a s*** hole...nostalgic, yes, uniquem no doubt, but in terms of watching a baseball game it blows.

Love going to Boston for a game, love the atmosphere and all, but it's a crappy set up.

 

If they ever need someone to press the button that implodes the place I'll do it gladly.

if you stop being cheap asses and buy seats in FRONT of the poles there is no problem.

I haven't been there yet but i'm going this year early in the season for my 16th birthday and I can't wait!

[redsoxmaniac19]

You are so lucky! I want to go there SO BADLY to watch the Red Sox play!

Its a dump. Turn it into a museum, pin it on a wall; something to honor it. But its a dump.

[redsoxmaniac19]

Really? I keep hearing time and time again that it's a nice place.

its nice because of the history; its a dump because it takes awhile for history to happen.

It isn't a dump. It has its problems like most but for its age.

For her age, my grandmother has problems. But I wouldn't pay $100 to deal with her problems for 9 innings.

Fenway has been improved yearly and it is not a dump.

This is the most amazing thing of all time.

Saw three games this past season. For the price you pay I don't feel its worth it: small seats, narrow walkways, poles in your view, overall VERY cramped. It wasn't until I went to Safeco a couple times when I realized what a dump fenway is. I'd honestly be fine with them tearing it down. History loses its novelty.

[redsoxmaniac19]

Fenway Park is THAT CRAMPED? Another question I have is, is Fenway Park wheelchair-accessible?

I believe so. You'll find a list of sections on the official site I believe.

 

I like Fenway a lot. If you're not cheap you don't have to deal with any issues. Even if you are...I sit in the outfield grandstand a lot and I love it. I've ended up with "pole seats" twice. One time just the very corner of right field was blocked out, and that was okay. Other time, about 95% if my view was blocked. I ended up in the standing room section for that game...

[TheMino007]

I like Fenway, don't get me wrong, but the Sox need a new stadium. The place is too cramped, the seats aren't comfortable, and the prices are out of control. If they build a bigger and new stadium, prices will be lower because there will be a greater supply of seats, and I bet if the stadium held 42,000 people the demand would be high enough to still sell out every game.
