Fenway Park has been the abode of Red Sox since its inception in 1912. Located in the vicinity of Fenway in the hub of Boston, the ballpark is one of the oldest and retro ballpark, which is still in active use in the Major League Baseball. The arena has derived its name from the nearby fens. The park has maintained its novelty and charm, and still looks much as it did when it opened. The Red Sox prior of becoming the tenants of Fenway Park played at Huntington Avenue Grounds in 1901. Due to the fire devastations and humiliations faced by the club and the City of Boston, the owner of Red Sox, John Taylor decided get a new ballpark build for his team to replace Huntington Avenue Grounds. The construction of the new infrastructure initiated in September 1911, and within a year a 27,000 seat ballpark was ready to host the matches. The history of the magnificent park is as rich as its unique features. A single-tiered stadium was built of steel and concrete, and the portico was made of red bricks. The stadium was installed with wooden bleachers in parts of left, right, and centerfield. In 1920, the fortunes of the ballpark went astray. The team was sold and Sox s star pitcher Babe Ruth was traded to be acquired by the Yankees. Moreover in 1926, the wooden bleachers that were located along the left field foul line burnt into ashes. In 1933, Thomas A. Yawkey took the possession of the team and backed the stadium s renovations. The most captivating characteristic of the Fenway Park was Duffy s Cliff, a 10 foot embankment in front of the left field. Duffy s Cliff was removed and the wooden seats in right and center field were replaced by concrete stands and the grandstand was expanded. Even the seating capacity was enhanced from 27,642 to 33,817. Other unique feature of the ballpark was the 37 foot high wall in left field, known as the Green Monster. The Wall is what makes Fenway so famous, as it was assumed that the Wall altered winds in Fenway Park and also changed the course of the playoffs at times. The wall was used for the commercial purposes. A manual scoreboard was also installed in the stadium. But once again a fire breakout in January 1934 ruined the up gradation. Nevertheless, the park was streamlined once again when it reopened on April 17, 1934. From time to time, the ballpark has undergone some or the other changes. In 1936, to prevent the breaking of windows by the baseballs, a 23 foot was placed on the wall in left field. In 1940, bullpens were constructed directly behind the right field wall. In 1947, the Green Monster was re-erected and was painted in dark green. The authorities also prohibited the use of wall for commercializing. The same season the ballpark also hosted the first night game. Following the 1975 season, a $1.3 million video/scoreboard was put up behind the bleachers in centerfield. The tin of Green Monster was replaced by a hard plastic surface. The seating system was streamlined and a small upper deck was created, which featured several rows. Following the 2002 season, with the addition of 259 bar styled seats atop the Green Monster, a new vista was given to the Fenway. A seat in the right field bleachers is painted red to mark the spot where, Ted Williams hit the longest measurable home run inside Fenway Park. Behind the manual scoreboard in left field is a room where the walls are covered with signatures of players that have played left field through the years. The National Football League's Boston Redskins played at Fenway from 1933 to 1936. The American Football League's Boston Patriots played at Fenway from 1963 to 1968. The current ownership plans to open a new ballpark with the same moniker whose opening is still undetermined. It would be constructed adjacent to the current Fenway Park and would incorporate some of the existing features of the current Red Sox s ballpark.
