As a primer for the openah, I present photos from a recent Red Sox game my son & myself attended @ Fenway.
This is the area immediately in front of the main entrance @ Fenway called Yawkey Way. Entrance to this area before events is with a ticket to the venue only. This area has several food & beer stalls.
I'm visiting with 70's pitching great Luis Tiant, who operates a Cuban sandwich stand in the Yawkey Way area
Here, visiting with "Ironman" Red Sox tv broadcaster/former 2nd baseman Jerry Remy, who works all 161 games Sox games. We are standing in front of his food concession area "Rem Dawgs" which is in the Yawkey Way area. More info on Remy @ www.remyreport.com
Inside the park, from behind home plate with my son.
The area to the left in the background is the famous "wall"
where the Stones Stage will be placed..
Sorry for the dark photo, taken by a Yankee fan...
This shot is closest to the field, looking toward the wall.
Jordan from the 80's band New Kids On The Block was there to throw out the 1st pitch, with his family...
This is the view from the 1st base side, looking towards the wall, from the box seat area, closest to the field
Higher up in the same 1st base area, from the seats called "grandstand"
Hope these help you visualize how the event will take place.
Sorry if these are not as clear as many others who post fantastic shots on this site, my 1st go at this.
Thanks to Voodoo & LJ for assistance with my 1st adventure into the world of online photos. In the spirit of fairness, it should be noted that the Red Sox lost this game. It's a long season, and anything can happen...as evidence for the Red Sox during the 2004 season...

Excellent primer for those Fenway virgins out there! Even so, people, you WILL be surprised by the place--in more ways than one. Hey, Nellcote, not to sound like an old fart, but remember the bad ol' days, just a few years ago..the narrow concourses, the drunks, the urinal troughs, the contempt management had for the fans? Night and day, folks....different times... and we are the reigning champs!
Hint (learned last Thursday against the Royals, never get a sun seat for a day game in August!!) |
