THE BOSTON REDSOX HAVE HAD GREAT MEMORIES PLAYING IN FENWAY PARK AND SO HAVE I, KINDA CRAMPED SEATING,BUT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO WATCH A GAME, AND BE PART OF BEING PART OF WATCHING A GAME FROM ONE OF THE OLDIST PARKS IN THE COUNTRY.

Some seats have bad view of the field. Fans are rude. Boston Fans think they know everything and many times they are out in left field on any given topic.

made my first trip to fenway last month and it was a magical experience. took the tour the morning of the game with my lovely wife who bought me tickets for our 1 year wedding anniversary. fenway park is hallowed ground.

it's what baseball is all about. the warm beer while eating a hot dog. the natural grass and the unpredictable bounces of the walls. it is amazing, go there once in your life and you'll see what i'm atlking about.

Because of the history, this is a great park to visit, but its uncomfortable seats and obstructed views would make it a really bad place to regularly watch games.

Fenway, like Yankee Stadium, is a joke. It is only popular because of its history and the dedicated fans that bring it too life. Red Sox fans don't need Fenway to make baseball come to life in Boston.

"Quite possibly the most miserable, stupid fans in history. The stadium is cool, but the fans make it suck. Tiger Stadium was old and cool with smart fans. Comiskey was a dump, County in Milwaukee a real dog...but all of those had more enjoyment factor for a fan than sitting in dilapidated dump with 30000 Will Huntings. And cool doesn't mean 'really good' either. Drove 12 hours to Wrigley and would rather get stabbed there than get a beer bought for me at Fenway. Truly, truly, sucky."

I git one word....YANKEES!!!!

Okay, my strong dislike for the city of Boston may have something to do with my feelings of Fenway. Plain and simple, the higher ups know that the losers that live here will still pay top dollar to see the red sox play whether it is a rat infested run down dump or not. Just the same way new englanders will sit at Gillette stadium in sub zero temps and not demand that a roof be put on that stadium like everywhere else normal in this country. The fact that people here have no standards speaks for itself as to why Fenway park is what it is.....A DUMP

words cant even describe fenway

Rundown and unsafe. Where did that come from? Did you like fall off the seat or something? Sound like something a dumbass like you would do.

AWESOME PURELY AWESOME

everything is crap........ y is it so great...old dirty....n CRAP.......

This is an overated rat infested Dump.

Home of the World Champion Red Sox, Fenway is the oldest stadium but it has great history, and it is the most unique of all stadiums. I love the Green Monster!

There is no replacing the Green Monster. :)

A green cathedral.

Too old; the seats are too hard and too squushed up. They need a new stadium immediately.

A very special place and as historic as you can get in Major League Baseball. It's small, but it's survived and that's what makes it so special to visit. If your not used to Fenway, it makes you feel like you've went back in time when you walk in there. Too much renovating and the teams even thinking of building a new stadium just irks me.

Oldest and Best

You either gotta love it or hate it. I love it -it's got personality unlike newer parks with no history or life. Who cares about bathrooms etc- you go for the thrill of the game. At Fenway, it's one of the best

Great park.

For the histroy it is great. The ushers don't know the park surprisly and the seast are configured half assed.

Its a classic stadium. it is nice people come to boston just to se fenway. The Monster seats really make to the effect.

The mice and overall filthiless pervades ruins any historical significance.

Great Classic But a little run down!

never seen a game there but I hope they never get rid of it. One of the unique beauties about pro baseball is the fact that the fields are not standard. That crazy right field foul pole in Boston, the brick in Wrigley, that right field upper grandstand in Yankee Stadium, the garbage bags at the Metrodome. To standardize fields or stadiums completely would take some of the poetry from the game.

Not a pleasant baseball experience.

Fenway is an absolutely beautiful & intimate baseball experience...no nosebleeds, rabid fans, and quirkily shaped old-school pitch. Only been there once, but it was amazing.

great city location for a ballpark!

great ambience

Although to todays standards Fenway Park is a dingy old dump, the tradition that surrounds it makes it an excellent stadium. If you go there just to see the stadium, it is a old small dark park, but if you are a baseball fan, it is one of the best parks there are.

The Green Monster, green grass, contrived dimesions, excellent sight lines, what can you say? Along with Wrigley and Yankee Stadium, it's the most historical park in the majors. May the Red Sox never leave this place! It would be bad for the entire sport of baseball. The Red Sox fans are No. 1 in baseball, and Fenway is the 2nd best stadium next to Wrigley.

It's a beautiful park, but access to it is terrible, the ailes and corridors are WAY too small, and the food is the worst I've ever had at a sporting event: the Fenway Frank I had was terrible, the beer was expensive, small, and watered down, and my pretzel tasted like cardboard. Also, the seats are really uncomfortable.

great park...with alot of bad seats. I still love it though.

Green Monster? Maybe for a little league team.

People, have you ever been there more than once? I find people who've been there once love it, for being close to the field and the history. I live in Boston, the park is a joke. If you are over 5 foot 6 and ever had to use the bathrooms, you'd agree with me.

a national treasure

way too old and hard to hit homers in. (green monster)

That huge wall is..annoying, i don't like it much

Get real....this place is a dump....ok it has a little tradition but the wall is obvious compensation for a lack of room disgrace.

too small its not great its not even average the right field wall is an inch wrigley is better

The Mecca of baseball parks.

This park has a an enormous fan base, but I have to disagree. The Boston Red Sox needs a new stadium and fast. The park is much too old and too little. It needs more seating capacity especially for a baseball town like Boston! Hey who knows, if you built it, it will come! (As in the championship).....

If you're looking for a park that has comfortable seating and the latest ammenities, this is not the place for you. However, if you want to go see a game in a historic park with energetic fans and an unbelievable atmosphere, come on down to Kenmore Sqaure for a game.

BLAAAAA!!Go Pac Bell!!!!!

No matter what any Yankees fan says. .. Fenway is the greatest old park in all of baseball. Hard to compare it with Yankee Stadium, since Fenway doesn't smell like urine, have transvestites on the streets around it, or have the giambi that shoots up every morning.

A definite masterpiece and a must visit for anyone who has yet to see Fenway. I made my first visit in I July, and as an avid baseball fan, was awed by the park. However, don't expect the conveniences of a modern park! The concourses are tight, the seats are small and uncomfortable, and the lines for concessions and restrooms are long.

Fenway is the epitomy of what baseball should be. For those of you who have never been here, you walk in and you can just feel the history of the place. Sure it isn't the most high tech, commercialized ballpark in the league, but it makes up for that with it's historical relevance, you can feel you are in a part of american history in Fenway Park.

best baseball atmosphere. period.

I LIKE THE GREEN MONTERS

Boston sucks. The most obnoxious team in the majors.

It's all about the big green monster. The old school nature of this ballpark and fenway franks can't help but put you back into the good old days of baseball. This is one of the last few historical fields out there.

falling apart

Anyone that doesn't like it must be a....I mean they must bat for the other team (cough...cough..cough..yanks...cough). Great tradition and truly a great park!!!

I wish that the Boston Red Sox were a good team, because Fenway Park is extrenmly beautiful with all of the great lights, and billboards. It's in a great area.

Certainly deserves a 5. Second only to Wrigley. The park just amazes you with its incredible history.I've taken a tour walked on the field its a purists dream, but this place needs to go. The structure of the building is falling apart, but unfortunately plans for a new ballpark will try and recreate Fenway and make it a "modern park" which is a disgrace to all of Boston and the Stadium iftself. But something has to be done and soon.

Dirty, smelly, old, team sucks, poles block the view, can't use the 4 bathrooms for 30,000 plus ppl, they should destroy the stadium, keep the Green Monster because of its fame and build a new park around the wall and keeping it intact.

The only way they beat the Yankees

Claustrophobic. Generally overrated. But the right size for today's fans.

Wonderful old park. The food needs help! Save this national treasure.

if you don't love it, your not American!

SAVE FENWAY PARK! It's monumentaly historic, and recognizably national, equaly as much as the city its in! ....savefenwaypark.com......"If you unbuild it, they will go.".....I must say that user: kkri796om is anti-American, if not completely ignorant.

To kkri796om - no offense pal, but that would be TWO words. (Actually, take offense if you please)

I went to a Red Sox post-season game against the A's in 1988. It was a nasty Boston October afternoon with periods of rain and drizzle leading up to game time. Fortunately, the rain stopped by the time the game started, at least for just about everyone at Fenway. We were sitting down the right field line, underneath the overhang of the second deck. For the entire game, there was a constant drip of rusty water onto my right shoulder. Where else can you get something like that?

I go to baseball games to get drunk and eat sausages and possibly become obnoxious. Sure there are some guys out there running around on the field but that's only a minor distraction. Fenway is a great place to do these aforementioned things. Why? because first of all there are tons of sausage stands out front so here's what you do you start out at one of the bars surrounding the stadium get good and lubed and head out onto the street. From there you pick up a sausage which you wolf down between the stand and the gate. Once inside you pick up two more beers (two beer per person limit at a time) head up to your seats on the green monster and wash down that sausage, enjoying the warmth of a nice Boston afternoon sun, and the hometown crowd. The outfielders are close enough to scream at and you're feeling buzzed enough to give a shout. If you're lucky you'll catch a good fist fight somewhere not too close to where you're sitting but not so far that you can't experience the drama of it. Now that's baseball!

It was a great experience to visit Fenway Park. It felt like I went back in time, when baseball wasn't about money.

Kid of a disappointment, doesn't live up to the hype the way Wrigley does. Not very clean, smells like pee.
