Fenway Park

[chperplt]

What's the cheapest way to get to Fenway from Logan???

Anyone sit in the Monster seats yet?

 

[FlyDeltasJets]

Wouldn't you rather go to Yankee Stadium and watch a major leage team?

I can't answer your question, having not been to fenway from the a/p, but there is a subway ("T") stop right off the airport. The terminal bus makes a stop there. I would imagine the rest is easy.


Go Yanks!

 

[Beantown]

Hop on the Blue line from the airport to downtown and then get on the Greenline (the D train) and take it to either Kenmore or Fenway. 5 minute walk from there. Sit in the bleachers. There the cheapest (avg ticket price at the Fens is $41 a seat, highest in baseball by 30% and over 50% higher then the league average) and the most fun. Man I wish I could join ya. -Bean

Yankee Stadium is too close to Newark.. Can't stand the smell

I did go last September and watch the Angels kick Yankee butt though!!!

 

[FlyDeltasJets]

We figured we'd rent out the trophy for a year.

However, it just felt wrong...The Yankee Invitational (or World Series to everyone else) just isn't the same if it isn't at the Stadium!

 

[chperplt]

I think it's going to be more than a year my friend.. Usually, when a team has it's best start in it's history, it usually falls on its face.

The Yanks have a great team, but I think George is going to cause too many distractions this year. He's already pissed off one of the best managers to ever manage, and doesn't have a very happy SS either..

I put $10 bucks down at the MGM on the Tigers before the season started. Odds were 100,000,000 to 1 that they would win the series. I kissed my 10 bucks away that day, but the odds were just too good to pass up.

 

[FlyDeltasJets]

I don't think that's true. I can think of plenty examples when a team was in first place wire to wire, and far fewer where they fell on their face.

George does concern me, but as long as he keeps putting money back into the team instead all of it into his pocket, I'm glad we have him.

They sure have seemed to handle the distractions well thus far (although they suck tonight!)

100,000,000 to one!!???? What are you going to do with your BILLION dollars!?

Hell I just went to a cubs Game and sat 10 rows behind home plate for 15$.

Both teams are 0 for the century, what gives?

 

[CitationLover]

cubs suck. wrigley is in boystown go figure. no wonder all their fans are *gay* as a little bird.

my wife and i went to fenway and yankee stadium two years ago. fenway was a pit like wrigley (i don't see how people like these ancient stadiums......if it has a pee trough it is probably a dump), while yankee stadium was cool (even got beer thrown on us). didn't smell newark though.

imho, camden yards (been there twice) is the nicest stadium.

disgruntled white sox fan.....

 

[HoursHore]

U.S. Sellular field. Enough said.

And yes the cubs do suck, usually. but not this year

 

[CitationLover]

ok ya got me with comiskey being renamed.

however, all around wrigley are fliers for bars like the names of
"the manhole". nuff said.

 

[HoursHore]

And all around Comisky are the lovely housing projects such as the Robert Taylor Homes.

Its tough being a sox fan. 1919, the short pants and all.

Being a Cubs fan is easy, cause we really don't care if they win. We just like drinking beer in the sun on a nice day.

P.S.
I wouldn't admit to picking up those flyers. or at least not reading them.

pps, I think you guys would have won it in 1994, if its any consolation.

You know why New Yorkers are so depressed, don't you? Because the "light at the end of the tunnel" is New Jersey.

Nice!

I thought I had head over the last few years about a rumor of Fenway being torn down and replaced with a new ballpark? Did Boston do away with that idea and just add more seats on top of the Green Monster instead? I would hate to see that place go.:

 

[stillaboo]

There was an idea that Fenway and Foxboro would be torn down and they'd build a new convention center with the Pats new stadium on one side and the 'Sox on the other in 'Southie' or Roxbury or something. Surprise, the owners wanted the state to chip in big $, and the state wasn't so keen on the idea. End result, Pats try to go to CT (where all the Yankee fans live, no less!) before building a new one in Foxboro, and the 'Sox hang out in the Fens some more. At least we have the Big Dig and the Logan reconstruction to look forward too

Oh, and 'Citation Lover', any place with a pee trough has character.

All Yankees fans are really just hiding their love for the 'Sox anyway -- tell me one 'Yank-me' that doesn't bleed 'Sox red?!

-Boo!

 

[ilinipilot]

The most incredible thing about Fenway Pahrk is that fact that as you look out onto the stadium you are looking out on history. It is incredoble to think of all the greats who have played there from Babe Ruth (**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** curse), to Pedro, To yaz, Fisk etc.
that is what always gives me goose bumps when i first look onto the field.

PS cant wait to go back

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Some of the best tickets at Fenway are the roofbox seats in right field. Around $30 or so. Can't go wrong with those.

If the game is sold out (and most games come close), there are always standing room only seats which go for about $20. Same as bleacher seats. Although it's an old place, it's a great place to see a game because 90% of the seats are so close to the field.

One BIG advantage over Yankee Stadium is that Fenway does not need it's own 250 man police force to maintain order in and around the stadium. If you've ever seen them gather before the game, you'd think a whole city was rioting if it was another part of the country. No wonder they don't sell out even though there are 8 million people in the city. Nobody wants to die at a baseball game. Essentially the whole stadium is filled with 20 and 30 something year old losers who take the train in from Yonkers, Queens, Brooklyn, dress up in their Jeter jerseys and act like s-h-i-t heads.

Worst place I've seen a game; Shea Stadium hands down. I'll second Camden Yards as a top notch place and Pac-Bell is pretty good, if not better. Going to hit Coors Field next month.


Mr. I.

 

[FlyDeltasJets]

Gee,

I don't think it was Yankee fans at Yankee stadium who threw everthing they could onto the field to protest a call during the playoffs.

The massholes who go to fenway are the most boorish, rude, foul-mouthed TPT I have ever had the misfortune of encountering.

Of course, if I hadn't won in 85 years, I might be a little bitter too!

History? What history? Try the Stadium...Ruth, Gherig, Dimaggio, Mantle, Maris, Howard, Yogi, Ford, Jackson, Nettles, Guidry, Mattingly.....The list goes on and on...26 World Championships...That's history!

No hard feelings....LOVE arguing with RedSox fans...I even married one!

flychicago,

admit you are ronnie woo woo. a homeless, toothless typical cubs fan.

 

[727PAA]

Hey Chpr

I was there last night.

If you are going to a game soon, there are seats available during day of the game. Don't buy from a scalper til you head to gate C and check at the window there for bleacher seats. They will run you around 20 bucks, but not bad seats. Any other questions drop me a line.

 

[cessna_driver2]

Got to give some credit to the Royals. It seems that they got their act together this season. 2nd behing Yanks. Only due to some rain outs.

Well see how they do when the Yanks come to town. Sound be a good series.

 

[chperplt]

The royals didn't look much better than the devil rays last night. I've never seem so many dropped balls in one game!!

 

[stillaboo]

A tough act to follow

Got to give some credit to the Royals. It seems that they got their act together this season.

The Royals?! Is that the same team that had three hit batsmen, two errors and one wild pitch all in the bottom of the 9th at Fenway last night, blowing a 2 run lead?

Yeah, you gotta' give credit to those Royals!

-Boo!

 

[CitationLover]

cessna_driver2,

stop sounding like a cubs or red sox fan in april talking up your team, by september they will suck.

 

[shamrock]

The massholes who go to fenway are the most boorish, rude, foul-mouthed TPT I have ever had the misfortune of encountering.

Funny, that's exactly how I would sum up the majority of Wankee fans I've encountered. Yes, Red Sox fans ARE bitter, "boorish, rude" and "foul-mouthed" because it's been 85 years. With "26 World Championships", what is your (yankees fans) excuse?

 

[FlyDeltasJets]

Shoot, we haven't one one in TWO YEARS!!!! Can you imagine how awful that feels? Of course we're upset. We don't put up with losers like sox fans seem to!

Ted Williams might have been pretty good, but Bucky Dent has more rings!



Thanks for the little smile...It's good to know that some people still have a sense of humor.

 

[ksu_aviator]

The last two games have been bad for the Royals compared to the rest of the season. But lets be real. They are young and relatively inexperienced and a lot of people in KC are handing them a ticket to the playoffs already. I would guess they are starting to feel some of the pressure that comes with being at the top. But they are still 17-7 and 4.5 games up on the White Sox. Truthfully, this small slump could be attributed to their closer, MacDougal. He's blown two leads in the 9th inning in two games. If he just closes those they are 19-5 rather than 17-7.

That aside, The K is the best stadium to go to a ball game. Especially when its filled and the fans are excited, like it has been here lately.

Nice!

Did Boston do away with that idea and just add more seats on top of the Green Monster instead? I would hate to see that place go.:

Found this article earlier that you Fenway park fans might like, very appropriate for this tread....Enjoy!!

Go Rockies!!!!

cessna_driver2,

To late they suck already. Just like the chiefs they find a way to blow it in the end.

Though I would give a little credit. Personally Im a yanks fan my self.
