How to Find Your Seat at Fenway

There are few greater summertime pleasures than taking in a baseball game, and there may be no finer places at which to watch a baseball game than Fenway Park. Open to the public since 1912, Fenway Park is located in the heart of the Kenmore neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Fenway Park is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium still in use and is one of the most well-known sports stadiums in the world. Although there are roughly 37,000 seats at Fenway Park, finding your seat can be easy with a little bit of preparation.

  Review a seating map of Fenway Park and your ticket for your type of seating. Fenway Park has 16 different types of seating. Although Fenway Park has adequate signage directing fans to the different types of seating, it will make things easier for you on game day if you have an idea of where your type of seat is in relation to the field.

  Arrive at Fenway Park and enter the appropriate gate. If arriving by public transportation, both Kenmore Station and Fenway Station are a few blocks from Fenway Park. You may need to walk around Fenway Park to reach your gate. If you arrive early, take the time to experience Yawkey Way, which closes to non-ticket holders on game days and features live music and concessions. However, if you choose to walk Yawkey Way, you will need to enter by Gate A or Gate D and walk a bit longer through the stadium to get to your seat.
