Fenway Park

Don't drive! Take 95N from RI & park at the Riverside 'T' station on the 'D' section of the green line. This is pretty close to Newton. Get off at Kenmore Square, or maybe the Fenway station next to the old Sears building. Kenmore is a shorter walk to the park & more interesting too.

In the late 80's Red Sox ownership put a fence between the bleachers & the ret of the park. Before they put in the fence I used to buy $2 tix for the bleachers, then wander the stadium after 2 innings for new seat. Even if that were allowed today, you won't find any seats!

Every game has bleacher seats on sale at gate C behind the wall on Lansdowne St. They open the ticket windows about 90 mins before the game. There will be a long line!

Here's a T map that may be helpful. Boston T

Try calling the box office the day of the game as sometimes tix become available check on line also good luck http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/ticketing/singlegame.jsp?c_id=bos

For seats i really enjoyed the bleachers. the infield grandstand seats are ok but the are polls that get in the way of your view. To be honest you cant go wrong at Fenway its a great place to watch baseball. the seats arent that comfortable but if you love the game enough that wont matter.

I've been there twice. First time sat in the RF bleachers...loved it!

2nd time (earlier this summer) sat in the 1B side grandstand...loved it even more!

Great atmosphere, fanatical fans, terrific experience. Good advice above about taking the T. Try and get there an hour early or so and hang out on Yawkey Way outside the stadium.

Enjoy!

Dbg has it right about the T......when we go back home to visit now we always get our tickets from brokers....we pay a high price, but....to us it's worth it. You can go to the Official Boston Redsox MLB site and link to "Fenway Park".....there is seating info as well as tour info of the park.....tours are available 7 days a week but on a game day you need to be there 3 hours before game time.

Good luck.....hope you get to the park!

For those of you that do not know, the ACC championships will be held at Fenway beginning in 2008.

WOW! Now is that cool or what?!?!

I heard it was a deal that was made when Boston College came into the ACC. Boston College didn't even make it to the championship.

Some from the southeastern teams not happy, feel it is way out of the way for the fans and a huge expense for the ACC.

I liked the venue at Jacksonville, hot, but great field and great city and not expensive to stay for the length of the tourney (6 days).

But for a player, it's got to be cool.

If you can arrive at the park several hours early, there are guys (scalpers?) walking around outside selling tickets that come straight from the box office. For about $75 you can stand above the 1st or 3rd base sides. In Fenway, that means you'll be about 100 feet from the field and it seems much closer. You may even get tickets to sit down for that price, but never a guarantee. You cannot walk the stadium from the bleachers, so try for tickets on 1st or 3rd base sides. The atmosphere there is second to none and you won't believe how close you are to everything. Get there for bp and your boy is sure to get some autographs. I have always driven, but its $20 to park these days, so good luck.

My '06 son asked to see the Red Sox in Fenway as his high school grauation present, so we went this spring. We had standing room tickets and stood behind home plate just behind the grandstand seats. You could basically stand behind those seats all the way around. As others have stated you can't get from the grandstand to the bleachers. We took the Fenway Park tour the morning before the game and it was worth it. You go into the press box, on top of the Green Monster, etc. The "T" worked great for us, as well. We took it everywhere. Also Legal Seafood at Long's Wharf was very good.

If you enjoy seafood (I don't) the No Name restaurant is an authentic Boston seafood spot. Legal's is chain now. Here is a review of the No Name. No Name review

Yes dbg.....but the best of the rest....Union Oyster House.....their baked schrod is fabulous....and the atmosphere can't be beat....if you are visiting Boston.....it has to go on the list.....

1)Johnny's
2)Anthony's
3)No Name Diner

Good call dbg!

There is no place to compare with Fenway.

The naysayers in the ACC crowd will change thier collective minds if they actually attend the tourney.

I'll buy dinner in May of 08 Tiger Paw Mom!

Oh, Soxnole how kind of you! However, TPM hopes that she will not have to go, as son will be elsewhere off playing baseball!

There's always Jax in '07!

Forgot about the draft...oh well...maybe he'll be pitching @ Fenway by 2009!

07 is in stone....I know some hidden gems in and around Jax.

Soxnole, Johny's and Anthony's just aint' what they used to be. Despite being a chain, Legal's consistently has the best seafood if Boston. No Name is also good. Union Oyster House has a lot of character and good oysters/steamers, but it does not rate with Legal's. Kingfish Hall, a Todd English restuarant in Quincy Market is very good.

OOh. I almost forgot. East Coast Grill in Cambridge is the best of them all, particularly if you like your food spicy.

Just returned home from an unofficial visit to some of the Ivy league schools and were fortunate enough to catch a Fri. night game at Fenway (vs. the O's); I had been there once before (and long before sellouts) and it was special this time to share the experience with my son and daughter (my wife, too, but she is still a people watcher at games).
Anyways, got my tickets on eBay. Buy it now price was $319 plus $10 s&h; $329 out the door. Seller sent tix Priority mail so I had them in two days. I checked all of the on-line ticket brokers; they all seemed to have access to the same inventory and similar seats would have cost at least $100 more if you include shipping, convenience fees, etc. We sat down the left field line (section 30, row 10) about halfway between third and the Monster.
