Ahh. A real keyboard.
The monster seats look majestic for such a soccer game there. I was envious as soon as I walked through the tunnel. My seats were section 50 near home plate. Section 60 was great. Close the pitch, but at the end. Still a wonderful view. >From section 58 and around toward first base, the seats were not good. They were far from the pitch, too low to see some action, especially if the ball was played closest to those seats because there was a barrier that had up that you could not see through. The stadiums built for soccer have the first rows of seats higher off the pitch so there is not such an obstruction. Just imagine being 50 yards from the sideline at nearly ground level or even just a few feet off the ground with a 4 foot high barrier that's only 10 feet from the sideline along the whole sideline. In other words, there's a huge well of seats in and around home plate and down to first base that had a hugely obstructed view AND were far from the center of the pitch. Ray's seats were great. The seats we moved to were good (got lucky). And it appeared as though the bleachers and anywhere above 15 feet high were good. Lesson learned. In another 40 years, I'm going to make sure my kids and grandkids don't sit in the wrong place for a soccer game at Fenway. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Beaudoin, John Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 9:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Soccer at Fenway Good point ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Thu Jul 22 06:34:45 2010 Subject: Re: Soccer at Fenway I didn't see any divit's torn up in the outfield proper. There was one on the sod near 1st base. I think we won't notice the difference, and it will be much less of a problem than the Stones concert.

Bet we see a weird a weird hop or two from the ball in the outfield some time. But... They do have over a wek to get it right. ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Thu Jul 22 06:17:58 2010 Subject: Re: Soccer at Fenway I think they just put it back and let the pitchers bitch about it like they always do. I think they take the mound down each winter.

Fenway is a much better soccer venue than Gillette. The crowd was close to the field, there was lots of noise, and the park looked great.
