That’s incredible if true. I’m skeptical because it’s that obscene.

In the park tonight as well! Decent amount of purple and gold here for Skenes and Bregs…. Sitting on 3rd base line but doesn’t look like a bad seat in the house.

Went there in 1996 when the batter hit for the cycle and also saw a triple play. First time ever for both to happen in same game

Great place.

fricking 3.


Pirates are like 43-76 if they give up ONE run. Read that again.

Fenway has support structure for their upper deck that obscures the view if you're seated behind one.

But it's a beautiful old ball park.

Did Wrigley earlier this year for a Sunday afternoon in the left field bleachers. Was awesome!

One time a couple bank robbers from Southie hijacked an armored truck inside of Fenway. Big gun battle broke out.

Nothing like catching an MLB game at one of the classic parks.
Soak it up!

In order to truly appreciate Fenway, you need to attend a Bo-Sox vs. Yankees game. Hearing the entirety of attendance shout "YANKEES SUK" in unison, is an experience in of itself.

Went to Fenway for the first time last month. Felt like hallowed ground a lot like a Tiger Stadium. I’ve been to a lot of MLB parks from one coast to the other and it definitely ain’t the nicest park, or the easiest to get out of, or buy a beer (unless you want that Sam Adam shite or Bud Light) but it was so old school and we all sung Sweet Caroline.

But what I loved about Fenway were the people. The bars around Fenway, the crowd, the fact that we walked back a mile after the game and not one time felt threatened or sketchy albeit we weren’t walking through the most well-lit or nicest neighborhood. Would I go back to Fenway? 10/10 Yes!

It's so small. They have that crammed in a little block. It was a fun time though. Very old park, but the good type of old park and not run down. Parking is a nightmare in Boston because it is so densely packed. I lived there 2 years. Closest you can get to the stadium is probably 0.75 miles away. And always feed the meter. It's not like Louisiana or Texas where meters are never checked. Somehow, even if you run in a store for 5 minutes, it gets ticketed. I think they have censors on them, and it alerts if no meter has been paid.

Would definitely love to see a Sox-Yanks game. Funny enough though, there was a point the whole crowd cheered Yankees SUCK together out of the blue a few times

That was a nice perk of the Pavilion we had our own bar and a couple beer sections. I was drinking Kona Big Wave with no lines

Absofrickinglutely. We stayed at the Sheraton about .7 miles away so we walked in and out no problem.
