Okay, let me tell you about the time I went to a Red Sox game and sat in the bleachers. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, really. I was in Boston, and what’s a trip to Boston without catching a game at Fenway, right?
So, I went to get tickets, and I thought, “Why not try the bleacher seats?” I’d heard things about them, you know, that they are in the outfield and further away from the action, but I was up for the experience.
Getting to my seat was a bit of a hike. I entered the stadium, followed the signs, and walked, and walked, and walked some more. Finally, I arrived at the bleachers, it was really great!.
- The view from up there was something else.
- I could see the whole park, the skyline in the distance, everything.
- It felt like being on top of the world, or at least, on top of Fenway.
And the game? It was a blast! Sure, I was a bit farther from the action than I would have been in the more expensive seats, but the energy of the crowd was incredible. Everyone was so into it, cheering, chanting, doing the wave. I even saw a few foul balls land near us, which was pretty exciting.
Some tips if you choose the bleacher seats
- Be prepared for the sun. I went to a 7 PM game, and let me tell you, that sun was intense. Sunglasses are a must. I wish I had brought a hat, too.
- Consider the weather. From what I’ve gathered, there’s no cover in the bleachers. So, if it rains, you’re going to get wet. I got lucky, it was a beautiful evening, but it’s something to keep in mind.
- If you want shade, from what I’ve read, the Grandstand sections or the Loge Box seats are your best bet. I might try those next time, especially for a day game.
Sitting in the bleachers at Fenway was an experience I won’t forget. It might not be for everyone, but if you’re looking for a unique way to see a game and don’t mind being a bit further from the action, I’d say go for it. It’s a different perspective, and it’s definitely worth trying at least once.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, I even made some new friends. We talked about our lives, our jobs, and of course, the Red Sox. It was a great way to spend an evening, and I’d definitely do it again.
So, that’s my bleacher seat story. Hope you enjoyed it!
