TG04a Breakfast in the Ballpark: A Unique Tour of Fenway Park
05/17/2008, 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM


Self-Guided Walking Tour

Enjoy this self-guided tour, designed by Red Sox architectural design consultant Janet Marie Smith (who also led the design effort on Camden Yards), showcasing this modernized American icon. Learn how the Red Sox added 1,300 seats, expanded concessions, updated restrooms with family-friendly facilities, and added picnic areas.

Explore the creative reuse that has made Fenway an even better place for good old-fashion baseball, along with new uses such as concerts featuring Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett, and the Rolling Stones. See the impact of the ballpark on the surrounding neighborhoods with new housing, hotels, restaurants, and upgraded public transportation.

Get up close to the last hand-operated scoreboards in the Major Leagues. Feel the magic. Learn what's behind the Green Monster...and everything else you ever wanted to know about the beloved Fenway Park. See for yourself how good design led to the 2004 and 2007 World Series Championships! Continental breakfast is included. Sponsored by Lumber Liquidators Inc.

Ticket not required for kids 12 and under (one child per adult)
