Should be pretty cool.

I can't wait to see the infrastructure. I have thoughts in my head of when they had Nordic Jumping at Soldiers Field in Chicago back in the 30s.

My son is pumped as am I.

I think this is awesome! On a side note. The Fenway Sports Group will do anything in that park to make a buck.

What else are you going to do with a ball park in February?

We are doing that out at Gillette Stadium on Friday 1-1-16 Bruins vs Canadiens

Gillette will be such a better venue for a winter classic. As cool as it was to see the Bruins play in Fenway Park, the site lines there suck for hockey. Hell, they aren't even all that good for baseball.

Here here, I couldn't agree more about the sight lines. Personally I think the the biggest travesty was the renovations they shoved down everyone's throats when they should have built a new stadium with better seating and better views. Rip it down and keep the monsta as a museum.

They can't tear it down now. It became an historical landmark when it hit 100 years old. They can't even change the style of the seats. On a tour we took they made it clear that a new stadium is out of the question now. And they also have the most expensive beer (per ounce) in all of the majors...

The sad thing is there was an opportunity for both a new football stadium and a new baseball stadium in the Seaport.

Gillette is at least comfortable, but the road access and parking is atrocious.

I'm a HUGE Boston sports fan, but I won't go to Fenway or Gillette anymore. Catching the Cs or Bs is so much more fan friendly.
