Fenway Park

I traveled to Boston last weekend and attended a night Red Sox game, under the lights. I'd forgotten what a magical place it is, from the heavy Boston accents yelling "Fenway franks here!" to the green monster, it's an overload of visual and auditory stimulation. I sang Neil Diamond during the eighth inning and left in procession to the words of "Dirty Water." Needless to say, this was the ultimate sporting experience for a Red Sox fan. This Park is in a league of it's own, only joined by Chicago's Wrigley field. A few years back, there was discussion of building a new Fenway in a different location. To me, this is sacrilegious hog-wash, and since then, each year, Fenway has added more seats to improve the park and it's capacity, consequently ending any such talk of a move. Moving Fenway would be a disaster, irking many of the fans that have made it such a great place to see a ballgame.
