Road Trip to Fenway Park
Fenway park is so many things: classic, intimate, a dump. Seats are
made for men born in 1890, there are obstructed views. (You can't request a
seat change for an obstructed views, although a friend found you can get
moved for sitting next to an overly large person.) Concourses are jammed,
beer is not notable, but you feel like you are practically on the field,
and then there's that Green Monster. We were able to move lower down in later innings in a lopsided game.
Those Red Sox fans are, um, enthusiastic :-). Take the T (Green Line) to get there because driving in
Boston is not for the direction-challenged. Parking near Fenway ranges from $30-$100, try parking near the Berkley School of Music and walking
over up Boylston.
