OT: Anyone ever done the Fenway Park tour?

[BearBailey]

Definitely worth doing the tour. I have done it twice most recetly 2 years ago. I always say one of the best stadium tours and one of the worst stadiums to see a game at. Very small seats, old girders and several other obstructed view seats as well as all seats don't point towards second base. Tour is Great lots of cool insight. I think they are every hour on the hour?

Odd, I've been there plenty and it's much better than the other stadiums I've been to. I'd rather turn my head to watch a play at second -Just like at any other part of the field- than watch from so far away that I actually need the jumbotron to see anything. (I think the upper deck at Shea had "duck for satellites" signs )

Olde Comiskey was pretty nice too, but it's gone now.

Last year was my first time in Boston. Took the tour in the afternoon and then went to the game later in the day. Would have loved to get onto the field and/or behind the Monster, but no such luck. Was still quite happy with having taken the tour.

NB. Within walking distance of Fenway is Northwestern University campus. Perhaps somebody can confirm if the statue of Cy Young (situated where the pitcher's mound was for the first ever World Series) is still there. We tried to find it during our trip last year, but never did.

Thank you to everyone for all the feedback! I've been to a few games at Fenway but my girlfriend has never been and the Sox are out of town this weekend so I guess we'll take the tour. It's a shame they don't let you on the field or in the Sox locker room though.
