Great park, lots of tradition (starring in "Fever Pitch", coming to a theatre near you), but: seats designed to fit the bodies (and fannies) of fans from nearly a century ago. Lousy viewing angle from right field! Cramped seats, tough to get to bathrooms and food, overpriced, etc. Other than that it's great. (And yes, no need to tell me, I'll say it myself: Shut up and enjoy your championship, raccoonradio...) Oh well...all I know is when I go to parks like Jacobs Field in Cleveland, I LOVE the room! How easy it is to get to the food, bathrooms, etc.

Well they paid $700 million for the team so I guess there's no money left over for a new park. Keep Fenway alive, I guess. But still... :)

>>For decades, Fenway Park has turned the heads of visiting sportswriters and broadcasters. "Guys like George Will and Bob Costas come in and want to romanticize Fenway Park," (WEEI talk show host Ted) Sarandis complains. "But how many times have they had to sit in Section 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5? You sit in sections 6, 7, 8, or 9, you could get a crick in your neck from having to turn to the left all the time; you're looking straight at center field."

If ya don't like the seats at fenway, lose some weight. :)

I saw the Tigers play a game at old Tiger Stadium and had great seats, behind home plate. It was very cool to be in an old stadium, but there was no leg room, the aisles and halls were narrow and hard to navigate. All ballparks experience functional obsolescence sooner or later.

NO!

If they tear down Fenway, somebody's going to try to convince the Cubs to tear down Wrigley.

And while Fenway isn't anything special, Wrigley is the perfect ball-park.

Given the way the Big Dig has turned out, a Fenway replacement would cost two billion dollars and line the pockets of every union thug and Democrat politician in Massachusetts.

Fenway Park is too small. They should build a new park outside downtown, maybe over by Schenectady.

Rehab it. Don't destroy it.

Phillip Bess came up with some solid design proposals for doing just that - keeping Fenway, but updating it for the 21st century.

I haven't been to Fenway in 15 years or more. If I were there I'd love to go, but my brother tells me the cost is seldom worth it any more. Dogs and burgers are over priced, seats are (well, see above), beer is over-priced, and parking impossible. But that's pretty much true no matter where you go these days.

Hey, I suggest we sell them Yankee Stadium, for let's say
two billion or so. Imagine that, after 90 years, they finally win something and the fans want to build a 20th century park for their team to play in. The curse has started again, so me say they consider replacing it in 2090 or so. GO YANKEES.

[TXBSAFH]

Wreck Fenway!!!! Blasphemy!!!!!!!

[Drango]

I never said hello.

Keep Fenway

Dump the Red Sox.

They used to be lovable losers. They now have nothing left to recommend them. They are the epitome of sore winner and low class.
