Right up front let me say that I’m not objective about Fenway Park. It’s my favorite team’s home park, and it’s the first ballpark I ever visited, so to me it’s still the best. Not because it has comfy seats, or awesome sight lines, or great concessions, or anything else we’ve come to associate with attending a major league game. In fact, it has none of what we’d call modern amenities.
My favorite will always be Tiger Stadium where I saw my first game and several more since. Since that time I have been to both versions of Yankee Stadium, Fenway, Wrigley, Petco and whatever they call Toronto nowdays. Of the surviving stadiums I put Fenway at the top. When I went we scalped tickets and sat down the left field line very close to the Monster and 10 rows back. We had a great view....of the Green Monster. I don’t recall anything about the food in the park, I’m sure I had a Fenway dog but the Italian Beef from one of the carts outside of the stadium was memorable.
Went to the game against SF yesterday. Awesome weather. I just want to let folks know the expiration date on the bottom of the can of beer was 2024. My fellow fans checked the expiration date on other cans of beer. Bad news folks. They all were set to expire in a few weeks to a month or so. Make your own decision on the quality of the beer. Given the prices it seems disrespectful to the fans to sell beer that was made last year. It has been my observation that the Best By Date on beer is one year from the date it was put in the can. Just a heads up for people who enjoy fresh local beer.
