Fenway Park (United States)

Weather…

Fenway Park is a historic baseball stadium located near Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts. Opening its doors in 1912, it is the oldest active ballpark in Major League Baseball and the beloved home of the Boston Red Sox. Due to the tight, irregular constraints of the urban neighborhood it was built within, the stadium features highly idiosyncratic dimensions and unique architectural quirks. The most famous of these is the 'Green Monster', a massive 37-foot-tall left-field wall that significantly alters the trajectory of game play. Despite its relatively small seating capacity, Fenway's rich history, manual scoreboard, and passionate fanbase make it one of the most revered sports venues in the United States.
