5 Tips for going to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park

Hi, I'm Jack your Native Bostonian Guide, in this episode 5 tips for seeing the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

[@GuitarPlaya72]

We’re from Cincinnati. My wife travels to Boston several times a year for work. Went to my first game at Fenway a few years ago. We’re going back to catch a game next month. Can’t wait!!

[@mrandmrsfranz]

Thank you for the tips. Going to my first game tomorrow.

[@PaulsWanderings]

Thanks for the video, Jack. I am working in Boston a couple day of the week and have been trying to figure out how to get to Fenway. Growing up in northern NH we hardly ever went to Boston so I hadn't figured out how to get to Fenway from South Station. I am working right on Summer street so thanks for telling me which train to take.

[@goldwaterproductions]

I’m a Yankee fan and I do plan on wearing Yankee gear to Fenway. I’ve always wanted to go to Fenway just for history of the stadium alone.

[@winwalkxboxlive5413]

Have your family contact me with the funeral arrangements so I can attend on your behalf. Good luck buddy

[@goldwaterproductions]

@@winwalkxboxlive5413 will do. I don’t live on the east coast but I do want to go to Boston eventually so this will be an experience lol

[@ByAnyMeans000]

@@winwalkxboxlive5413 no offense, but the Giants vs Dodgers rivalry makes the Red Sox vs Yankees rivalry look like a family reunion.

Thanks for the tips. Long time Jay's fan and the wife and I are going to fenway in August. I can't wait for this, it's been a lifelong dream to catch a game at that grand stadium!

[@flaviooprc]

Great video, my friend. I'm from Brazil and one day I'll be in Boston to attend a Red Sox and a Celtics game. If you can, please make a video with the same tips but in a game at TD Garden! Best wishes! Go Sox and Go Celtics!

Thanks for this...I havent been to Fenway Park in so long.Its been six and a half days.Great vid.

[@andrewnorman2848]

Great video and great advice, outside if take rhe Comuter rail from South Station lol. I absolutely love Fenway and can't wait to return. I moved to Texas in 2021 with my husband so I can't wait for him to experience a Sox game at Fenway maybe a Sox Yankee game. I'm hoping to finally attend a game at Globe Life this season when the Sox play the Rangers.

[@kudaisiaduntola2523]

Fenway Park is a dream for me, so thanks for sharing this helpful video

[@livenfree]

I'm not a big baseball fan, but I do love to travel and explore new places. Thank you for taking me on an outing today! Been home sick for a year this month from extreme fatigue after having covid last February. Great to finally get out! Never ever hear much of anything about Boston. First video I've ever watched about Boston. Definitely enjoy the Boston accent. Would love to hear more of that! And see how much was the food inside?

Went and watched a few weeks ago I’m from South Carolina and people where so nice and friendly. They love us southern folks. Good times and they swept the yanks.

[@afmartin2734]

It's because we're not phony or have a "southern hospitality" schtick like some in the South. Whoops! Did I just say that?

[@luckyman3988]

I'm going to Boston next week to see a game. I'm in G10, so I'll do my neck stretches. I'm looking forward to getting a hat, a souvenir soda, a Fenway frank, and taking in the atmosphere while crossing off something from the ol' bucket list. Fucking jazzed. Thanks for the tips!

[@robpratt7716]

RIP the Baseball Tavern. The first place I ever ate at in Boston

[@jamesricker3997]

You can also take the Worcester commuter rail to Polar Park to see the Worcester Red Sox as Union Station in Worcester is within walking distance to the park.

[@charlesstuart7290]

As an old Clarkie something I definitely want to do.

[@jsteinberg48]

When I was at Clark the station was in ruins and only had one tower.

[@kendufresne]

​@@jsteinberg48 it certainly has changed. Beautiful inside, though only vending machines for food and drink, unless the restaurant happens to be open and is expensive. Intercity buses are downstairs. City buses are next to them. Second train platform being constructed now.

[@nycmvl]

Really helpful video! Thanks!

[@nativebostonianguide]

You're welcome!

[@timtebowsleftarm5368]

We are so pumped to get to Fenway this year! If you’re staying near Revere Beach & If we use the T to get to Fenway, do we really need to ride the Blue Line and “get off at State Street, transfer to the Orange Line toward Forest Hills; then get off at Downtown Crossing, and follow signs for the Winter Street Concourse to Park St.” as the Red Sox’s site suggests, or can we just take the Blue to the Green? And can we reverse it to get to the hotel/car with just green-to-blue or do we have to do the Orange as well?

[@doubleueyett]

One thing to add to your buying food tip, if you get a souvenir soda inside the stadium for about $8, it includes free refills for the entire game.

[@matthewsavidge6248]

Great vlog we’re in town for the game on May 3rd 2022 with love box 120 seats looking forward to getting back to Fenway, last at a game in September 2008 , need to stock up on my merch 👍🏻⚾️❤️

Hotel Commonwealth is where you NEED to stay. GREAT hotel and fairly priced for the area (about $275). It's at Kenmore Station a 5-10 minute walk to the park and you can get a room with a view of Fenway across the expressway!.

[@andrewschuschu3499]

The Trillium Beer Garden a few blocks away from the stadium is a great post game break. If you're getting a Lyft or Uber the price shoots back down within 30-45 min of the game being over. Might as well grab a beer and take it easy instead of rushing out to grab a ride.

[@CaptDesmo]

It’s the adventure of just being there... Being anywhere!!!!

[@elgringo4918]

I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan in Los Angeles. If you wear Red Sox or any other gear to a Dodger game, keep your head on a swivel, especially if it's San Diego or San Fransisco gear. Very sad that your life can depend on it. If you wear Red Sox gear to an Angels game, it all good. You're get booed at or get some good fun sh!t talking to, but they are pretty cool at the Angels games. Plus it cost a lot less.

I only been to Dodger Stadium once, for Paul McCartney but thanks for the tip!!

Awesome Video Jack! We're headed to Boston and will catch a game in August (2 families, kids 10 to 17). Any tips on seats, where to buy tickets & timing (StubHub currently at 75 US), shade (I suspect it will be hot in August), etc. Someone mentioned the balcony views are good? Any other tips you may have for us will be greatly appreciated. And yes, I'll be wearing my Blue Jays paraphernalia. By the way, are you allowed to bring a bag inside? We got caught with that last year in Seattle, my wife had a purse we had to run somewhere last minute to put it in a locker.

[@nativebostonianguide]

The sun can be tough as it sets if you want shade sit on the third base side.

I would say Tip #2 would be great before going to any game beforehand. It's usually a lot cheaper than eating exclusively in a stadium.

Hi Jack, travelling from Ireland to Boston in May 2022, we don’t understand baseball and it’s not a sport that’s played here but we appreciate the history of Fenway Park, would you still recommend going to a game or doing a tour? Great video by the way :-)

The Residence Inn by Marriott (125 Brookline Avenue). It's quite pricey,but it's beautiful, and it's not even a 5-minute walk to Fenway . The rooms are great,like your own apartment. Also,there's a Marshalls right across the street,where there's LOTS of affordable Red Sox gear,and you can cut through the alley nearby where there's a Target. There's also a nice set of bars and food options

The cost of taking the green line is way cheaper than the commuter rail so if you have a large group the green line is better in terms of cost however you are packed in like sardines.The commuter rail can cost as much or more than parking near Fenway

[@nativebostonianguide]

Yes, true, but not much more for such a short distance. And from South Station, commuter rail is direct, where subway would require Red Line to Green Line switch at Park Street.

Came up to 24 bucks..n this was outside the park..11 bucks for a regular large budweiser..no thank you!! I use to drive my vehicles to a game..not anymore..use to park on tge street.

[@pete6705]

There are a lot of tickets that say no obstructed view that are badly obstructed. I don’t have the same special feeling about Fenway that other people do because I’ve had so many bad experiences there with obstructed views. I wouldn’t mind if they tore the whole thing down and rebuilt it

[@afmartin2734]

You probably weigh 300 lbs, too. There are very few obstructed views and the poles underneath the upper tier are not wide enough to be a problem. The only complaint that is real is the RF seats face out towards CF which is clearly dumb, a design flaw and needed to be fixed years ago. Other than that, there is no bad seat and it's the best baseball experience left out there by a mile.

[@pete6705]

@@afmartin2734 No not a fatty. I’ve probably been to Fenway well over 100 times, many of those times were horribly obstructed views. The poles underneath the upper tier are a huge problem, pretty much everyone sitting behind those poles can’t see at least 1 player on the field. I’ve sat in seats where I couldn’t see the batter or seats I couldn’t see the pitcher

[@Backup_Punter]

Never buy any seat without checking the view. As long as you do that, they really aren’t any terrible seats. Tearing down 100+ years of history because you can’t handle checking the seat view is BS. They should probably remove the pole seats though.

[@afmartin2734]

Exactly. That guy has no idea what he is talking about. I can got get a sub from my local sub shop and it's going to be $12-$13 without the coke and it's more like $15 now with inflation. What he should be telling people is the value, quality, etc, of the italian sausage subs and the bread you get blows away the value on the inside. He sort of hints at that, but that's what you should eat on the way in....Anything from a street vendor is the best and everyone who goes to a game locally knows that. We used to get one sub on the way in at dinner time, like 5:30 and then grab one to split on the way out. Total bargain for what it is.
