Fenway Park is a baseball stadium located in Boston, Massachusetts. It is considered one of the most iconic sports grounds in the United States. Fenway Park was built in 1912, as it is home to the Boston Red Sox. This stadium is the oldest major league baseball stadium in the world. Fenway Park still retains much of its charm from its small stadium capacity and the old-fashioned scoreboard.
