Fenway Park in the Context Fenway

Fenway Park in the Context Fenway

With my paper, I am examining Fenway Park in the greater context of the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood. I originally hoped to hear from someone on the Fenway Community Development Committee, but no one returned my correspondences in time. So, I substituted by looking for older news stories about the Fenway CDC’s most recent revitalization efforts. After writing about that for a bit, I will move on to talking about my trip to Fenway. I went down during a game to examine that neighborhood and how the stadium fits in, but also the overall atmosphere of the people at the time. Finally, I would go to a bar during the game to see more of the atmosphere and how the game itself feeds into it (without spending the money on an actual game ticket). I visited during a Tuesday night home game, and after surveying the perimeter, went into The Lansdowne.
