Pop Culture
Fenway Park, near Kenmore Square in Boston, has been the home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912 and is the oldest active ballpark in Major League Baseball. Built on a tight urban block, its irregular shape created distinctive features such as the Green Monster, the Triangle, and Pesky’s Pole, helping give it a long reputation as a hitters’ park. Rebuilt in 1934 and repeatedly updated afterward, it retained its essential form despite modernization and a failed replacement proposal. Beyond baseball, it has hosted football, concerts, other sports, and major public events, and remains a rare surviving jewel box ballpark and a Boston landmark.
