Fenway Park is Arguably the Most Famous Ballpark in the MLB
It was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in March of 2012, a month before the centennial of the field. Seating is varied as the ballpark has been modified over the years which makes it very interesting, historic, but interesting.

Grogs and dogs all around!
