    Let me count the ways--ultimately, the seats are made for people who weigh 120-150, the "concourse", on a summer day, is like the bowels of hell, the ladies rooms are 100 times better than the men's rooms (from what I've heard), and getting there on the subway within an hour of game time a person is in serious danger of getting trampled (literally) and is guaranteed a serious case of claustrophobia...

    For what they charge us to get in, its a major fucking chore to comply

    You might notice that parking isn't mentioned because trying to drive to Fenway park is a terrible idea.

    But hey at least there is a tequila bar for before/after the game

    It's possible that, much like a child walking into the middle of a film, I have no frame of reference here, since I have lived mostly in MA my entire 32 years. But I think what most of these stories about Fenway are mistaking for Fenway specific behavior is pretty much what you would just call regular old across the country contemporary American douchebag entitlement.

    All the same, everything people are describing above all seems likely, because -- and this may shock everyone -- the douchebags in Boston are douchebags! Just like the douchebags in Whateverville are douchebags.

    Who cares what you think? No boston fans do! Fenway has history, and it's just a friggen ballpark where baseball is played! how can you seriously hate it? i don't care where my seats are, I always have a good time, and love the sox. get over yourself and write about something that really matters. there's a reason you see red sox fans EVERYWHERE! I've been to several ballparks all over the country (with many sox fans at all of them, I might add) and I don't know how you could create a column on such a shitty topic. There's a reason seats are sold out at Fenway FAST every year. Nothing listed in this article is even ligitimate. boo, poorly written and NOTHING to back it up.

    No, you don't see Red Sox fans everywhere. You see people who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground, but happen own Red Sox hats, everywhere. It's a subtle, but important distinction.

    @SatiKablamy: Hello sir. I have lived in Boston for 22 years now and go to about 15 games a year. I have sat every where the park has to offer and the Monster seats are the only ones that don't suck horribly. I wish that stadium would burn to the ground. The reason seats are always sold out in Fenway is because it is a good team and there aren't enough seats.

    I hope you get fucking horrible back pain from those seats. Please eat a dick.

    Love, some from Boston who isn't a retard

    I took the remains of my half-eaten hot dog and hit him square in the head with it.

    That hot dog probably cost $12. Have you no concept of money?

    @Chris Hanson's Axe: The musical choices at Fenway are by far the worst. I get to Fenway a few times a year and every time I want to rip my ears off. The "play ball" song is absolutely abysmal.

    Sweet Caroline in the 8th inning is the single worst event of any game at Fenway, next to the slew of horrible fans who don't know their ass from their elbow.

    /Boston fan who wants them to go 62-100 for a few years so the bandwagon fans will go the fuck away

    Nothing — with the possible exception of flowers, springtime and the 3rd Earl of Pembroke — has inspired as much gooey bad poetry and aphoristic nonsense as Fenway Park.
