Fenway Park Tour
Tours of Fenway Park can be purchased online here. At the time I bought mine it was $25. Now they are up to $30.
I took a Lyft from the Old State House to Fenway for $11. On the return trip I took the subway for $2.40. A short walk to the subway station was required for that.
This is the ticket window. I had to show them where I purchased the ticket. They told me the meeting location was in the pro shop across the street.
It’s a good thing I arrived early. The tour left 10 minutes early.
Our first stop is the home plate concourse. This is the ramp and concession stand that was used in the movie “Field of Dreams.”
They have a Who concert here tonight which is messing up my field pictures.
Our next stop is the the 1934 iron and oak seats. We got to sit in them while our tour guide told more stories.
We are now behind the upper deck seating.
Here he talked about what it’s like in the manual scoreboard and how big of a deal it is to get that job.
Here you can see the scoreboard entrance to the left of where it says “At Bat.”
Now we are moving to the press box.
First we have the TV and radio booths.
This is the press box.
We got to sit in here while our guide told more stories.
The windows open and sometimes balls come up here.
That is where Brad Pitt sat in the movie “Moneyball.”
Now we are outside of the press box.
The longest home run location is marked by a red seat. It was 502 feet hit by Ted Williams in 1946.
It looks like another tour is right behind us.
This is one of the suites.
We are going to end the tour in the green wall seating.
We had a photo op with the World Series trophies.
I wanted to get a look at the beer prices. I think I pay about $15 for a 16oz Brooklyn Lager at Mets games. That’s not considered domestic though. At Saints games you can get a 24 oz domestic for $15-16.
The green wall seats are the most difficult seats to get in the stadium.
I got to sit right by the Fisk pole while he told the story about it.
We ended the tour in the left field concession stand area.
This is where you can purchase your pictures. I think I heard $40.
That completes the tour of Fenway Park. It’s too bad they were setting up for a concert. Hopefully I can get to a game here one of these days. But if you’re just in Boston for a day while the team is out of town, a Fenway tour is a good opportunity to see one of the few remaining historic ballparks.
