That's maybe good news for me.
I've had the sinking feeling seeing the seafoam green that my Fenway seat may actually be a Yankee Stadium seat. Both used the identical flat back seats in some areas. Fenway still has a lot of them.
Mine was supposedly removed during an early 70's renovation which as far as I can tell didn't happen at Fenway.
Were all the seats at Yankee Stadium repainted blue in the 60's? I'm hoping they were.
And, is there any way to tell the Fenway seats apart from the Yankee Stadium ones?
