I've been to Fenway many times, but only to one NYY vs BOS game (tickets are nearly impossible to get for these games at Fenway). At that particular game (7-17-05) I observed nothing unusual with the exception of a couple of "police actions" going on out in the bleachers - some brawlers being hauled out.
With my Red Sox fan in Yankee Stadium experience, I was on the lookout to see if any trouble would occur that day. I was surprised to see many Red Sox/Yankee couples there and groups of friends wearing Yankees/Red Sox jerseys. I was amazed at how calm everyone was considering the "stories" I've heard in the past about NYY/BOS games.
The comment I posted about Yankee Stadium were just my experiences there during five games over two years. If anyone else has stories of Fenway or Yankee Stadium during BOS/NYY games, negative or positive, I urge them to post them here.
As a Red Sox fan (wearing a Red Sox shirt and/or hat) in Yankee Stadium I expect friendly ribbing, or even fans to get in my face about how "the Red Sox suck", etc. But being called vulgar names with the accompanying gestures is is a bit over the line, IMHO...
I fully agree.
I know it happens at Yankee Stadium...but I've been told the same happens at Fenway. (Perhaps less so because it's tougher for opposing fans to get tickets.)
(As I said I have no interest in either club.)
