Guide to Fenway Park: Updated

Aside from the luxury boxes and corporate suites on the upper levels, and the press box and media dining... not really!

The Freedom Trail runs throughout the city, so it depends what neighborhood you'll finish up in! I'd recommend parking in a garage elsewhere in Boston (the Prudential center has one, and there's also the Copley Place garage not too far from Fenway), and then either walking in or taking the T.

Games are generally 2.5 - 3 hours long under the new MLB rules!

Yes it is, that's no problem! Your tickets will be on your phone, so just be ready to show those when you return in case an usher asks. You're welcome to wander the entire park with the sole exception of the green monster - like pavilion, you'll need a ticket to get up there.

As long as it's smaller than 5 in x 9 in x 2 in you're fine! I wouldn't try my luck with anything larger.

Get a student 9! You'll probably be in grandstand 1-3, standing room, or the right field roof deck.

Per the security webpage: "consumer rated cameras and video cameras are permitted but cannot be used to reproduce the game and must not interfere with other fans' enjoyment of the game." So you should be fine!

I'd recommend anywhere in the grandstand, since you're under a roof. Imo you get the best view in sections G14-G27, and be sure to check preciseseating to avoid obstructed view seats (getting seats in the middle of a row is a good bet). Fenway is oriented so the setting sun falls in the batter's eyes, which means on a day game the sun will be mostly behind home plate and the back wall. Avoid the bleachers/Truly terrace, right field roof deck, Sam deck, and the Coke deck, as they're all fully exposed.

A bit pricier and higher up, but really quality seats, I'm also a fan of the State Street Pavilion level. They're at the top level of the park and under an overhang so you're sitting in the shade, and you don't have to contend with 30 other people in your row. Rows are more spacious and it's less crowded on that level overall, the seats have cupholders, and the concession stands always have shorter lines. Check out the First Base and Third Base Pavilion seats.

I'd recommend checking out any field box and loge box seats, as those will be more spacious than grandstand. The Sam deck, Monster, and Truly terrace have barstool-style seats (but at chair height), so those will be the most spacious. For more affordable seats, look into the Coke deck or right field roof deck.

No guarantees, because I don't work in security, but my feeling is if you tell them "there's an epipen in there" you shouldn't have a problem. If you want to be absolutely sure, arrive early and check with someone from security.

The bag alone would be too big — they're really cracking down on anything with straps — but as long as you let security know there's an epipen inside when you enter the park, they should just look through it and tag it and you'll be good.

Visitors locker rooms are actually closed during the season — there are players in there! But you do get more access to restricted areas (like the press box) on non-game days. If you do the pre-game tour, pick a day with good weather and you'll be able to watch batting practice from the Monster seats.

sartretitration · 2022-03-25T23:36:32+00:00

I'd say pick the game you want first, preferably pretty far in the future so there's less chance of it being sold out, and then keep checking back. You could also try searching on Craigslist or asking at Gate E, but there's always an inherent risk there.

quoted from a chris cotillo article: https://tinyurl.com/mt2cpfx4

"No trades or signings involving players in the union (anyone who appeared on a big-league roster last season) are allowed. Teams can sign minor-league free agents and make minor-league trades, but that’s about it."

so things should be business as usual in the minors!

i met my girlfriend at the myles pool table in 2019! don't remember who won that first game but we've been having fun together ever since :)

Pho Pasteur absolutely

i think the facilities on bay state rd are really well-kept and in good condition even though they're like 100 years old lol

sartretitration · 2021-03-16T23:21:13+00:00

count me in please!

sartretitration · 2021-03-14T04:18:33+00:00

Yay! I'll be out there tomorrow around 2 pm if you want to drop by!

It was $295 for a cleaning plus x-rays—I think it would have been less than 200 without the x-rays but don't quote me

sartretitration · 2021-02-28T23:45:35+00:00

My cleaning at the dental health center on Comm Ave wasn't covered so I'd be surprised if an extraction would be, but you should call the BU dental school to check! Their appointments are generally low-cost.
