Fenway Park and the Green Monster

One of the most recognizable sights at any baseball game in the world is the Green Monster. The name of this particular feat of engineering is a bit of a misnomer, since the wall actually stands 37 feet tall and is a full three feet deep, making it the tallest in Major League Baseball. It was built in 1912 and was rebuilt in 1933 after a fire destroyed the old ballpark. This version of the monster was painted in a shade of green similar to that of the rest of the ballpark. In 2003, the wall’s netting was removed, and seats were added to the top. Since then, the Green Monster has remained a pillar of the Red Sox organization, and is a coveted piece of sporting memorabilia.

The Green Monster is also home to the largest number panels in any of the seven MLB franchises. These panels are roughly the same size as a baseball, and are used for fans to keep tabs on their favorite team’s score. They are accompanied by a small manual operated scoreboard. For those who prefer a more traditional fan experience, the park also has a well designed and maintained locker room. While it may be a bit on the pricier side, it’s worth the hefty price tag.

There’s more to the Green Monster than meets the eye, and the best way to experience it is by attending a game. Fans of the sport can check out the Green Monster at the Park Fenway during home games, or visit the park during spring training. Some even take advantage of the free day games. Those who aren’t in the mood for a road trip can check out the park online. The site is a treasure trove of information. You can read up on the history of the field, listen to a Red Sox podcast, and view a collection of pictures and videos relating to the park’s past and present.

There’s no better time to go to Fenway Park than during a game. To make it more enjoyable, attendee are treated to a number of the team’s perks and specials, including free beer, free food, and free t-shirts. Plus, the park has a reputation for being a place where you can make memories with friends and family. As such, the line to get a seat at a game is often longer than the lines at the concession stand!
