Home to the World Champion Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park is the oldest ballpark in the country (it dates from 1912). It is beloved by the members of Red Sox Nation, who kicked up a fuss when plans were announced earlier this century to perhaps scrap this old beauty for a newer model. The current owners have avowed that sacrilege and, instead, have worked to upgrade Fenway Park with new amenities (one example is the coveted Monster Seats, atop the Green Monster). Although the best way to experience the historic ballpark is by going to a game, we can not all be so lucky to score those tickets. Instead, you can get a full fledged tour of Fenway for just a few bucks and see where history is made. Sometimes they even let you run a lap around the bases and sit in the dugout. For more information check out Fenway Park Guided Tours where you can see Pesky's Pole, The Fisk Pole, the single red seat, and other historic Fenway favorites. America's most beloved ballpark has an atmosphere like no other stadium. The Red Sox have sold out over 400 consecutive games as of the 2008 season (the major league record breaking 456th consecutive sellout took place September 8, 2008 as the Red Sox beat Tampa Bay 3-0), so one is guaranteed a boisterous and upbeat atmosphere at any home game. Most of the learned baseball cognoscenti would agree that Fenway is the premier destination to take someone to their first major league game. In addition to the enthusiastic fanbase, the park features traditional delights like the Fenway Frank, and modern touches including legal sea food chowder. Additionally, as the park is smaller than many new, corporate backed stadiums, most of the seats are reasonably close to the playing field and afford a good view of the action.
