Fenway Park

Fenway Park has been the Red Sox’s home since 1912, and its age is part of the reason to go. The Green Monster rises over left field, a manual scoreboard tracks the game, and the single red seat in the right-field bleachers marks Ted Williams’s famous 1946 home run. A game gives you the full crowd experience; a guided tour offers time to concentrate on the building and the team’s history. Tours run year-round, with routes subject to availability. When choosing game tickets, look carefully at the seating view rather than just the price. Fenway’s old grandstand makes that homework worthwhile. You can enjoy the place without knowing every name on the roster.
