Watch a Ballgame at the Home of the Green Monster
Marketed by the MLB as “America’s most beloved ballpark,” Boston’s Fenway Park is also the oldest baseball stadium. It opened on April 20, 1912, as the official home of the Red Sox. Some of baseball’s most iconic figures — Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, David Ortiz and more — played ball as Sox at Fenway, so the historical value alone is worth a trip.
However, Fenway Park’s famous 37-foot-tall, emerald green fence is also noteworthy. Originally built to keep looky-loos out, the Green Monster has become synonymous with the park and is definitely worth seeing. Be prepared, however — the cost to see a game at Fenway Park isn’t cheap.
