Fenway Park

Fenway Park is the home baseball stadium of the Major League Baseball team, Boston Red Sox. The park opened in 1912. It is the oldest of all current Major League Baseball parks. It will celebrate its centennial in 2012.

The ballpark has also been the home field of several football teams. Some Boston college teams have played there. The New England Patriots also played there in their early years.

The name Fenway Park comes from the stadium being in the Fenway district of Boston. One of its well-known features is the Green Monster, a tall wall in left field.

Fenway hosted the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 1946, 1961, and 1999, and has been the host of nine World Series.
