Fenway

I was in Boston two weeks ago on business. Got tickets to the Red Sox/Cardinals game. Finally, I would get to see a game at Fenway. Unfortunately, the tickets were for the .406 Club. The .406 Club is club seating billed as "luxury seating in a climate-controlled environment". The .406 Club amounts to a stadium-style movie theater that sits up above and behind home plate with the ballpark sounds piped in from the ballpark over speakers. There is a big sheet of glass separating you from the even the remotest feeling of actually being at a ballgame. It's like watching a baseball game at an iMax theater. Sure, there's "luxury" bars and and an "upscale" all you can eat buffet, but I wasn't impressed. (Though, they did have Harpoon on tap, which was cool) It didn't help that the game time temperature was a perfect 80 degrees. I wanted to be out under the sky pounding beers and eating hot dogs. Despite my rant, I am gracious for the tickets. I do feel like I need to go back, I'm not sure that I really visited the park. A guy I work with snapped some pics and stitched them together of our view...
