What's on the Fenway Park tour?

The Fenway Park Tour is a comprehensive and informative overview of the park's most significant landmarks and historic events. Here are a few tour highlights to look out for.

Pesky’s Pole

The right field foul pole in Fenway Park, also known as the Pesky Pole, is said to be both shorter and closer to home base than other similar markers in other ballparks. That said, it hasn’t seemed to make home run-hitting in that region of the park any easier!

The Green Monster

Although it was only painted green in 1947, this 37-foot-tall wall has always been notoriously difficult for visiting hitters. Don’t miss out on your chance to sit atop this legendary structure and peer onto the baseball field below.

Duffy’s Cliff

The original construction of Fenway Park resulted in a 10-foot incline in front of the left field wall. Although it has since been remodeled, it was affectionately named after Duffy Lewis, an outfielder who was known for successfully running up and down the incline.

Williamsburg

In 1940, new bullpens were constructed closer to home plate in right field for Ted Williams, a famed left-handed hitter who had a better chance of hitting home runs from that spot. The bullpens have since been named after him by enthusiastic sports writers.

The Triangle

This refers to a region of center field where the walls form a triangle, 420 feet from home plate at the most distant point. It’s usually what’s considered center field in the ballpark.

The Lone Red Seat

This seat marks the landing spot of the longest home run ever hit at Fenway, hit by none other than – you guessed it – Ted Williams. The official designation of the seat is Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21.

When to Visit

Fenway Park Tours are delightful any time of day, but earlier tours will always have fewer attendees. You may also wish to select a tour on a non-game day, as this will give you more options for your tour time. However, you could always intentionally tour the facility on a game day, and then stick around for a game! (Insider tip: get Red Sox tickets to select game with the Go Boston® Card.)
