A weekend at the oldest park in baseball
Fenway Park · A flexible 2–3 day idea
Why this trip works.
Take the T to Kenmore, walk Jersey Street, and see the Green Monster up close.
- Iconic venue: opened in 1912, the oldest park in the majors, with the Green Monster in left.
- No car needed: the Green Line to Kenmore lets out essentially across from Gate A.
- Jersey Street closes to traffic on game days and becomes the pregame, with the Lansdowne Street bars behind the Monster.
- Your fan guide covers seats to avoid, the strict bag rule and where visiting fans sit.
A rough plan
Arrive and settle in
Fly into Logan and ride the T in. Stay anywhere near a Green Line stop.
Make time for the game
Check the official Boston Red Sox home schedule, go bagless, and arrive early: gates open about 90 minutes before first pitch.
Leave room for the city
Boston is compact and walkable, so the rest of the weekend is a short T ride away.
Just a sketch. Pick your actual game and travel dates when you plan.
Where to stay
Neighborhood ideas from our fan guide, not live hotel offers.
Fenway / Kenmore
The closest place to stay.
The trade-off: Pricey on game days.
Back Bay
Well connected, with more hotels and more to do the rest of the trip.
The trade-off: A short ride to Kenmore rather than a walk.
Cambridge
Easy and well connected, with more hotels.
The trade-off: A longer ride in on game day.
Around the game
Bleacher Bar
Tucked under the bleachers with a window onto the field.
A Fenway Frank
The classic first, then the Boston specialties on the concourse.
