Opened
in 1912 in the Fens section of Boston, Fenway Park is now
the oldest park in the major leagues. The seating
capacity had been around 33,000 - 34,000 for decades, but
recent improvements have bumped capacity up to 38,805, the
largest ever. The 2009 Fenway Park calendar is
complete with pictures of the Monster and of the Hancock
Tower in the distance. The Red Sox plan to add about
1,000 more seats in the next three years as they improve the
park. Due to the added seats, Fenway Park is no longer
the smallest in baseball. That mark now goes to PNC
Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Some of the new
features are seen in this Fenway Park 2009 calendar.
There are proposals to increase capacity to 45,000 by adding
an upper deck to the outfield, but nothing has been decided
to date. |
