Tickets are steep and demand is high. I was at that game and ended up sitting in leftfield. 5 Years ago you could have blown Fenway up and except for a few save Fenway folks the decison would have been supported. Plenty of improovements and a better over all place. Still it has old building problems. Especially, in rightfield where the seats face the Wall instead of the plate. A few years ago pre 2000. You could walk up and get a pretty good seat day of game. still can if your willing to stand in line for 1-3 hours. I’m glad you enjoyed Fenway always like to hear with others think.

Many of the aspects of the game such as homeruns and line drives in the corners just look less dramatic with the small sandbox size and a big wall on one end, a tiny fence you can trip over in center and an awkward corner at the other end. I also think homeruns to right in the dome look less exciting. The atmosphere would be cool to see but I’ve never been the biggest fan of the stadium itself.

The pole is literally a foot in front of your face and completely blocks your view. But the seat is there and being sold. Yes, I know the upper deck at the top of the Dome is the same, but this is a higher priced seat. RE: old seats in Fenway

Shawn, that includes at least one down the RF line (lower level) that sits directly behind a huge supporting pole. The pole is literally a foot in front of your face and completely blocks your view.

But the seat is there and being sold.

Yes, I know the upper deck at the top of the Dome is the same, but this is a higher priced seat.
