Why do people hate on Fenway?

[Trip]

did they lower the monster when they installed those seats? Maybe its just because im older but the wall didnt look as high as I remembered it to be.

If they did it's still damn high. It looks short from the outside, but the park moves downward so it's deceptive.

 

[Barry Sanders]

Never been to Fenway, but I can confirm that Wrigley is a dump.

Troughs to piss in, the outfield is all bleacher seats and has the feel of a grungy, sweaty bar.

Tradition is cool and all, but the Cubs need a new stadium.

Even Peter Gammons thinks that stadium is trash.

this...

they wont tho the cubs owners gonna milk the fans

There are countless traditions and memories as Fenway Park turns 100.

WBZ NewsRadio 1030′s Mary Blake has more in Part 2 of her series, Fenway Hits 100:

The milestone is especially worth noting given the fact that the park came perilously close to being torn down.

In the late 1990′s, then-Red Sox CEO John Harrington’s widely quoted opinion was that it would be easier to fix the leaning Tower of Pisa than Fenway.

In May of 1999, he announced plans for a new ballpark across the street. They were plans that Boston Mayor Tom Menino had signed onto.

Take away the nostalgia, and the place is a fukking dump. I have been there over 200 times, and I never ever want to step foot in that shythole again.

I mean its a baseball stadium. They cram 40,000 people into one spot to drink beer and make a mess. I'm not expecting the Ritz.

I thought it was a cool place to watch a game.

I moved down to Pittsburgh, Pa after Boston area, and I felt the same way you did until I got to go to several games at PNC park, and realized that the Red Sox have been trolling the fukk out of us with that old musty park.

 

[Crack Daniels]

Because the Red Sox play there. fukk em.

Ive heard great things about PNC. I love Camden Yards....

but if i had to choose between Fenway or some new generic place like the Marlins new stadium Id rather be at Fenway.

atnt park >>>>>>>

It's all it is though. It just looks old whereas Yankee Stadium looks new. One looks like Six Flags. The other looks like the Cyclone at Coney Island.



There's shyt about Fenway that I absolutely love. Monster seats are some of the best seats in baseball. Glad I got to sit there for a night. Fans other than the fact that they were Red Sox fans were cool too. Location is cool too, though I miss the Store24 they had on Comm Ave. Got me through so many cold all-nighters.

Some of those seats a little farther back suck so much. They just do.

Wrigley is that bad? What's the ambiance like, how's the food?
