Reflection paragraph on findings

Well i had found that Fenway is the most smallest ballparks in all of major league baseball. I also found that since 2000 it has the most money put into it by putting in more seat and also more concession stands and stuff like that. I also found out that the price for a tour of Fenway park is only $23.00. There is not much else i can say about Fenway and how amazing this one ballpark can be!

Finding Paragraph #3

In my research I had found the answer to my fourth question. " What events had happend at Fenway Park ?" Well as i think everyone knows the main event that happens at Fenway park is the baseball team the Boston Redsox. They also had a Winter classic for the Boston Bruins (their hockey team) that was in 2010. They also have concerts there like the Rolling stones, The Dropkick Murrpys. As of May of 2010 they wanted to bring the Newengland Revolution to play a soccor at Fenway.

Finding Paragraph #2

In my research I had came across the third question " How many fans can Fenway Park hold?" Well the total amount of fans that Fenway Park can hold to the current day is 37,483 fans. Now this is includeing the new Green monster seats they had just put in; in the 2003-2004 season. They had also added more seats to the ballpark adding the State Street Pravillion and also the new budwiser seats up over were the big milk bottle use to be. When Fenway park first opened in 1912 the carrying capsity was only 35,00; even though it is only 2,483 more seats added they still sell out every game.

Finding Paragraph #1

Throughout my research I had found the answer to my first question. What is Fenway park? Fenway park is the most beloved ballpark in the history of all ballparks. Fenway park is the home ballpark of the Boston Redsox. Fenway park opened in 1912 and to this day is the oldest stadium still standing. There is a carrying capacity of 37,493 and every seat has been sold over the last four seasons. Left field has a wall that is 37feet high and it is called " The Green Monster". But it is only 310 feet deep, meanwhile center field (in the triangle) it is 420 feet deep. There are two foul polls that determines if the ball is fair or foul. The one down the right field is nicknamed Peskys poll.

Quote, paraphrase, and citation #5

"When we lose Fenway, we lose the sense that somebody sat here and watched Ted Williams hit."

I agree with this writer because he is 100% right. If you do lose fenway park you do lose the Redsox you do lose the fans then what would you have? I hope that they never ever get rid of fenway park. Or atleast if they do build a new ballpark for the Redsox keep fenway. Just think of how much money Boston Massachusetts gets just from tourists that want to come and see fenway park.

Quote, Paraphrase, and citation #4

When the Red Sox win (at Fenway Park), the P.A. system immediately blares forth 'Dirty Water,' a No. 11 hit for The Standells back in 1966. It's usually little more than pleasant background music as we make our slow way toward the exits. But after a dramatic win — and tonight marked the Red Sox third walk-off win in their last eight games — a good percentage of the fans hang around and sing, 'I love that dirty water... Oh, Boston you're my home.'"


This is so true of the Boston Red Sox fans. I have no clue when they had started that with the song after every win but when the Sox do win it is like the game didn't even end. With all the fans that still stay there and sing "ohhhh ohhh Boston your my home"!!!!!!

There are two ways to experience Fenway Park, one of Boston's most recognizable landmarks. The 1st is that you can take a guided tour of the park for $12. This was a lot of fun. While learning the history and traditions of the park you are taken onto the green monster, and even into the press boxes. To take a tour, buy a ticket at the box office. Tours are run by the hour. The next great way to experience Fenway Park is to go to a Red Sox game. Tickets are usually sold out, but if you're willing to pay a considerable extra amount, you wont be disappointed.
