Incorrect. Before the Henry group updated purchased and continually updated it, it was a dump that many people would have been glad to see gone. I went to the stadium in SF in '04, before the World Series and renovations started. It was incredible and Boston had a chance for something very similar if the Boston City Council weren't a bunch of greedy weasels. Fenway should've been replaced. Granted, what it is now is a trillion times better than in '04, but half of the stadium is full of tiny, garbage seats. If they replaced it 20 years from now, i would not shed a tear. I tell people all the time, if you've never been, go at least once. But if i go to a few every 3-4 years, that's more than normal.

Fenway is The Field Of Dreams - It will never be replaced

I had the privledge of going to Fenway when I loved in greater Boston area. Truly a treasure! A great place to watch a baseball game!

Fenway Park works because it harkens back to an earlier time in our history when baseball really took off and became our national pastime. Going to a game at Fenway its almost like going back in time in a way, you get the feeling of all those years and experiences and history when you get inside the gates, from the small of the grilled onions to the hardcore Boston accents, theres just something incredibly special about Fenway Park and the Sox. As a lifelong New Englander and Sox fan, theres just really nothing else like it that comes to mind. Every time I watch Field of Dreams, I cant help but think that the character played by James Earl Jones was talking about Fenway Park, "They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."

I spent 2 nights in Boston. I went to Fenway hoping to take a tour. I missed the last tour of the day by 5 minutes. That was in 2004. I still think about that day. I walked around the perimeter of the stadium and ended up at a nearby bar where the bartender told me stories. I hope to get back there some day…

Ive attended approx 250 games at Fenway Park in my 31 plus years living in the city of Boston.The reason I and many other fans attend is NOT because of " the winning " as stated here.Its because its a fantastic place to see a game AND THE HISTORY!!!.It is the last place still hosting games that Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson played at.Think about that.Its very early Tuesday morning.I might walk the mile or so and see my Red Sox play the Twins later today.In fact,I think I will.

I like your channel and videos, but this one seems incomplete. It’s a well-made video production-wise and in what it says. But if I didn’t already know a lot about Fenway Park, I’d be left with a lot of questions here, like: What is a jewel box park? What is the green monster? What is the pesky pole? What’s this “triangle”? None of these were defined or explained why they’re unique, just that they are-whatever they are. They were listed as special features in the introduction, but then just listed again later in the video. I think this should be a 5-6 minute video with more details and stats for nerds like the height of the green monster, when seats were added to the top of it, the distance from home plate to the Pesky Pole, the addition of seats to the triangle, the additions of the outfield bullpens, and a mention of the seat in right field where Ted Williams hit such a long home run to. Anyways, just offering some constructive criticism

Fenway won’t last forever, but it’s hard to imagine ever being able to build a new park in the city of Boston. My guess is that if the day ever comes that Fenway goes away, the Sox will move to the western suburbs. They have done a lot with the place though. And, it’s now the right size for an MLB park, because it used to be so small compared to the competition.

The suggested site would be by Northern Avenue , next to the old Anthony's Restaurant. They projected was killed because local politicians wanted to get their beaks wet and new ownership would not play ball. And they drummed up resistance by the local Fenway merchants to stall any move. It was botched. New ownership wanted a new ballpark. Since they could not get their way, they pushed the independent vendors out of the old Yawkey Way ( now Jersey Street ) to ensure they would grab the concession revenue by collecting rent. One is fir sure , Theo learned a lot from Luchino and applied the same tactics in Chicago.

Sports teams underestimate the importance of keeping the uniform and stadium the same for generations. When the team looks the same as it did when you were 7-15 years old, you will remain a fan for the rest of your life.

Better yet you should do Memorial Stadium in Baltimore and the RCA Dome in Indianapolis.

Just move to a nearby seat. There are usually some empty seats here and there and they don't mind if you move. And if the owner of the seat shows up after the game starts just move again. Another trick is when you buy grandstand tickets try to buy one with a low row number and a middle seat number. For example Row 3, Seat 9 is way down in front and under the edge of the overhang and in the middle of a row so it will not be behind a pole while Row 25, Seat 20 is way up in back and at the end of the row so it will very likely be obstructed view.

Fenway is great unless you’re one of the poor souls who got a ticket with an obstructed view. I’d say about 35% of the seats have a badly obstructed view. I don’t know if it’s physically possible to renovate/redesign the park to fix that, but I think even if it cost them a billion dollars and had to shut the park down for a few years and play somewhere else it would be worth it

Next video. Why guaranteed rate park does not work

He forgot their World Series appearance in 1946!

I stated “only made the postseason once from 1919-1966” referring to that season.

None of the stadiums for Boston's professional sports teams were built with public money. I'm not sure how many American cities are left that can still claim that.

I wish the Braves would come back home.

that would be a disaster lol would never happen. We're honestly not a big enough city to support two teams, those days are over

Fenway had its first opening day, the day after the Titanic sank, which stole all the newspaper space.

5 days after. However, nobody really knew what happened until the survivors arrived in New York on the Carpathia. Titanic sank around 2:20 am on April 15 Fenway and Navin Field (Tiger Stadium) opened on April 20.

I will be upset if they destroy fenway park. This park needs to stay up for 1000 more years

Went to Fenway a few years back to catch a Sox vs Yanks game as a bucket list moment... I gotta say the aura outside the stadium was dope but the stadium itself and watching the game was completely overrated...

Maybe your expectations were too high

As long as the stadium can continue to be renovated they should never build a new ballpark.

Video idea the truth about dogers stadium

Green MonSTAH*

The Yankees never should have gotten rid of Yankee Stadium. Sure, the new stadium is nice and everything, but it just doesn't have all of the history that Fenway Park does.

Honestly. You did not explain at all why it works. Just rambled on about attendance and winning. Not about the quirks of architecture snd why they are different than others ( you did say these elements in one sentences ) but should compare and contrast to other genetic stadiums. Drop all the attendance and winning stuff

The oldest

Fenway became shrine because of the 86 years of suffering, a monument to our Calvinist ancestors teaching of God's righteous judgement of man's sinful nature, a place where you too, can have your view blocked by the same column that blocked your father's, grandfather's, and great grandfather's view

And it's the most expensive place to watch a game someone has to pay for John Henry's life style I will never spend a dime in Fenway they don't care about the fans

I agree. The last game I went to was back in 2019. I am not going to another game anytime soon.

That stadium is trashy old and it smells can they fix the plumbing?

How long has it been since you were at Fenway Park? All the rest rooms and plumbing have been upgraded. You might have been right 30 years ago but its not like that anymore.

I've grown to love Polar Park more than Fenway.
