Boston Red Sox tickets
Fenway Park is considered one of the
classic American ballparks. It has a rich
history, and it is old. It was built in
1912, and the size of the seats prove
it. If you've ever sat in a Fenway Park
seat, you'd know for sure that the average
size of people back in 1912 was definitely
smaller than the aversaize of people in
the 21st Century.
Fenway Park is the home ballpark for
the Boston Red Sox baseball club. It is
located near, and named for, the Fenway
neighborhood in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts,
USA, which in turn is named for the nearby
fens, or marshes. It opened on April 20,
1912, the same day as the now-abandoned
Tiger Stadium in Detroit. This makes it
the oldest ballpark still in active use
in Major League Baseball. Fenway hosted
the 1946 and 1999 Major League Baseball
All-Star Games, as well as the second
of two summer classics in 1961. Fenway
Park didn't even make the top page in
the newspaper the day it was opened, as
it opened on the same day the Titanic
crashed.

More on Fenway Park
Changes in Fenway Park
In 1946, upper deck seats were installed; Fenway Park is
essentially the first double-tiered ballpark in Boston since
the South End Grounds of the 1880s.
In 1947, arc lights were installed at Fenway Park. The
Boston Red Sox were the third to last team out of 16 major
league teams to have lights in their home park.
In 1976, metric distances were added to the conventionally-stated
distances because it was thought that the United States
would adopt the metric system. Today, few American ballparks
have metric distances posted. Fenway Park retained the metric
measurement until mid-season 2002, when they were painted
over. Also, Fenway's first message board was added over
the centerfield bleachers.
After Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, a new drainage
system was installed on the field. The system, along with
new sod, was installed to prevent the field from becoming
too wet to play on during light to medium rains, and to
reduce the time needed to dry the field adequately. Work
on the field was completed only weeks prior to spring training.
Proposed changes for Fenway Park
After the 2005 season, the Red Sox announced that they,
in addition to their plans for the .406 Club area, would
add 852 pavilion club seats, 745 pavilion box seats, and
approximately 200 pavilion standing-room seats along the
left- and right-field lines for the 2006 season, replacing
approximately 1,300 seats.
The Red Sox plan to also add approximately 700 tickets
for the 2007 season and 1,400 tickets for the 2008 season.
In adding additional seating, the Red Sox plan to have 1,000
of the seats added over the three years be high-priced premium
seats, to help deflate ticket costs and bring Fenway up
to the MLB average of percentage of premium seating.
The Red Sox have also stated that at some point before
the 2012 season (Fenway's 100th anniversery) that they would
like to replace the old wood seats in the grandstand section.
Fenway Park's Seating capacity
Fenway Park currently holds more than 36,200 spectators.
This number has increased over the years as seats have been
added in what was once foul territory, throughout the upper
decks, and, most recently, on top of "The Green Monster"
and atop the right field roof. Some people have proposed
increasing the seating capacity by up to 10,000 more seats
through the expansion of the upper decks, while others have
proposed razing the historic ballpark entirely and building
a similar, but larger and more modern, scalable facility
nearby. To give some more fans the opportunity to visit
a Red Sox game there is a Standing Room area, too. Such
a ticket costs 20 dollars and the owner can stand wherever
he wants behind the good seats.
Other tenants of Fenway Park
Despite its relatively small size, Fenway Park's oblong-esque
layout actually makes it a reasonably viable football facility.
The National Football League's Washington Redskins played
at Fenway for four seasons, 1933 to 1936, as the Boston
Redskins after playing their inaugural season in 1932 at
Braves Field as the Boston Braves, and the American Football
League's Boston/New England Patriots called Fenway Park
home from 1963 to 1968 after moving to there from Nickerson
Field, the direct descendant of Braves Field. The Red Sox's
one-time crosstown rivals, the Braves used Fenway Park when
they were the Boston Braves and played their home games
there during the 1914 World Series. At various times in
the past, Boston College and Boston University teams have
also played football games at Fenway Park, too. In February
of 2006 the Boston Herald and other news sources have reported
that Boston College has shown interest in setting up a hockey
rink and playing a game there in the winter of 2006-2007.
Non-baseball uses for Fenway Park
One of the most famous campaign speeches in American political
history was made at Fenway Park in the 1940 Presidential
race, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt promised that
he would not send American servicemen into foreign wars.
During this time World War II was raging in Europe, but
the United States was officially neutral, although it was
aiding the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. This speech
was noted repeatedly by Roosevelt's opponents, even after
Japanese Imperial Naval forces attacked the United States
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, forcing the
United States to enter World War II.
Although Fenway Park was not previously a frequent venue
for concerts, the Red Sox' new ownership has used the venue
for two concerts each year, starting in 2003 with Bruce
Springsteen and the E Street Band. Jimmy Buffett performed
at Fenway in 2004. The Rolling Stones also kicked off their
2005 A Bigger Bang tour with two consecutive shows at Fenway.
And on July 7 and 8 2006 the Dave Matthews Band will be
playing two concerts- the only two of the year.
