Guest conoley Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 They're playing the Blue Jays, of whom I am a fan. All they had left for the games were standing room, but I don't give a shit - I'm going to Fenway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna try and make it up to Boston later this year...hopefully I will get to a game while I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I didn't even bother this year. Too expensive for shit tickets. When they put select games on sale a few months ago, I was stuck in a virtual waiting room for 10 hours and by the time I got through all that were left were standing room and obstructed view.

Seeing the Jays and Sox at Fenway 8 years ago was what got me back into baseball. God, was that 8 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Wrigley are both pretty much historical landmarks as far as ballparks go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conoley Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 They came really close to tearing it down back in, what, 2001? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they'll ever tear Fenway down. That and Wrigley are both pretty much historical landmarks as far as ballparks go. It's in the plans for the next ten years. Hell, they're tearing down Yankee Stadium, how crazy is that? Fenway just doesn't hold enough people for them to keep it there for much longer. I hope they keep it though. I don't see Wrigley going anywhere anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgeagain Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Wrigley is never going to be torn down. It might be COMPLETELY renovated at some point, but there is no way they're ever getting rid of it. I don't even know how they could do it at this point, since the area is so congested. Comiskey and Chicago Stadium had plenty of room around them...Wrigley would have to be imploded or something. I'm making it a point to see every MLB ballpark. Thus far I've seen: NYY, MIN, TEX, OAK, CWS, DET, CHC, COL, SD, SF, ARI, D.C. (they'll have a new stadium this year, too), CIN, PIT, MIL, STL, I think I'm going to either Tampa or Toronto this year. Hopefully I can get to Shea at some point too. Fenway....I'll get to eventually. Maybe the team will be bad in a few years and it'll be cheaper. I find that, even with the Cubs when they sell out the whole year ahead of time, they release blocks of tickets the week of the game....they hold tons of tickets for MLB and the players and shit and if they aren't used, they release them for sale.

brammyg Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If only they could tear down the Skydome (it will always be the Skydome in my heart). I think I end up depressed and sleepy when it's closed. Something about all the blue seats and metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adammuzzy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 nice dude. i guess i'm only going to 2 games this year. last year, my mom got invited to some weird thing at fenway in the winter, where those people get the first tickets ever. so we saw 2 of the 3 games of the first series with the yankees. the games we saw were one where they came back from down 6-2 in the bottom of the 9th, and the other was the 4 solo hr's in a row. and then we went to four other games. going to only 2 this year, i'll feel empty.

MattyIceyo Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 i recall the time they were gonna raze fenway and move it either to south boston or leave it in the same area they are pretty much gonna have to put seats on the lights at this point soon enough on a local sports channel (nesn for you 617 reppers), they had old school sox from the 80's. no ads on the green monster, no corner seats, no monster seats, and mad empty chairs.. and the pats were maybe gonna move to CT in the early 90's..if anyone remembers that +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 i lived in CT at that time. when the governor couldn't get them to move Hartford completely went to shit since the whalers moved a few years prior. Pats in CT though? that would have never worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgeagain Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yeah, I need to see Shea this year. The Cubs are there in late September. Although the last time I saw the Cubs play the Mets in late September was fucking depressing (2004, where the Cubs were primed to win the wild card and then lost like 6 of their last 7, starting with a fucking 2 out 3 run homer by Victor Diaz in the 9th inning that tied the game up), it should be interesting this year, as both teams are likely going to be in the race.
