Fenway Park
About
Fenway Park has been the home of the Boston Red Sox since it opened on April 20, 1912, and the club bills it as "America's Most Beloved Ballpark." It is the park of the Green Monster, the left-field wall that stands 37 feet 2 inches high, of seats that have been in use since 1934, and of a right-field facade carrying the retired numbers of Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz and others, along with Jackie Robinson's 42.
A game is the obvious reason to come, but you do not need a ticket to one to see the place: guided tours run every day of the year, in rain, snow and sunshine, so a February visitor can still stand in the ballpark. Fenway Park sits at 4 Jersey Street in the Fenway neighborhood, and the Red Sox strongly encourage fans to arrive by MBTA rather than by car, because parking nearby is limited and game-day traffic is heavy. The Green Line, the Worcester Line Commuter Rail to Lansdowne station and, a longer walk away, the Orange Line at Ruggles all serve the ballpark.
Ballpark tours
The public tour is a 60-minute walk through the park with a guide who covers team, ballpark and player history, including a stop atop the Green Monster when it is open. Tours leave at the top of each hour from the Team Store on Jersey Street, across from Gate A, and on game days the last one departs three hours before first pitch. Online tickets go on sale up to 180 days ahead, and areas of the park can be off-limits during concert set-up.
Shorter and game-day tours
Fenway in Fifteen is a 15-minute tour from Gate B for visitors short on time, covering the Nation's Archives at the Royal Rooters Club and the Right Field Roof Deck, with its panoramic view over the ballpark and the city skyline. It runs on game days and weekends from May to September. The Pregame Tour, on game days only, lets ticket holders in three hours early for the warning track, the oldest seats in the park and a seat atop the Green Monster, subject to availability.
On game day
Gates open 90 minutes before the scheduled start. Three hours before a game, Jersey Street closes to traffic and, once the ballpark opens, becomes part of the concourse for ticketed fans, with concessions, live music and the official Red Sox Team Store. Food and drink sales inside are fully cashless; kiosks at Gate E, behind home plate and in the Gate B Kids Concourse load cash onto a debit card. The Big Concourse between Gates B and C has the widest choice of food, family picnic tables and the Kids Concourse.
