The park has played host to the World Series ten times. Aside from baseball games, it has been the site of many other sporting and cultural events including professional football games, concerts, soccer and hockey games.

A Century of History, A New Era of Entertainment
When visiting Fenway Park, you can experience iconic historical elements and even do a behind-the-scenes tour to see sights such as:
- The Green Monster: Fenway’s notable 37-foot-tall wall in left field is famous for turning potential home runs into doubles. Its hand-operated scoreboard makes it a true icon of baseball history.
The triangle: This deep center field corner is where routine plays become unpredictable. A ball hit here can send outfielders scrambling, creating chaotic and exciting moments unique to Fenway.
Pesky’s Pole: As the shortest home run porch in the major leagues, the right-field foul pole is a tempting target for batters. It represents the chance for a short fly
ball to become a game-changing home run. - The lone red seat: Hidden in the bleachers is a single red seat, marking the spot of the longest home run ever hit in Fenway history. It serves as a monument to a 502-foot blast by the legendary Ted Williams.
While Fenway Park has history to appreciate and baseball to watch, it also holds its status as a premier venue for world-class concerts and other major events.
