Fenway Park

The complete history of the home of "e;Red Sox Nation."e;Five days after the sinking of the Titanic, Boston's Fenway Park held its grand opening. Since that day, millions have witnessed the Red Sox play baseball. Their "e;Royal Rooters"e; evolved into the "e;Fenway Faithful"e; and are now commonly referred to as "e;Red Sox Nation."e; Nine World Series have been staged upon Fenway's turf, along with three Major League All-Star Games. Aside from baseball, Fenway has been host to professional and amateur football games, ice hockey, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, hurling, boxing and wrestling matches, and even a circus. Music from concerts has reverberated across its lawn, religious services have been held, and political rallies staged - all adding patches to the quilt of Fenway's rich, illustrious history. The structure that noted author John Updike referred to many decades ago as "e;a lyric little bandbox"e; has become one of New England's most beloved historical landmarks.
