Openning Day at Fenway Park

Opening Day for the Red Soxes at home is greatly reported here in Boston. I haven't been to a game in about 5 or 6 years. We used to go as work outing when I was working near the park.

The cost of going to a game at Fenway isn't cheap at all.

The average family of four can easily spend more than $300 for a trip into Fenway.

The cheapest game-day parking in the city is the 3,000-space garage at the Prudential Center, which charges $12 to drivers who show a valid ticket stub, according to the Red Sox Web site. Some

Four grandstand tickets (including service charges) at the park's price of $48.50 add up to $194. Bleachers seats are $23

Fenway Franks for the whole family will be $15 (at $3.75 a pop).

Two souvenir sodas for the kids at $5.25 each, and two beers for the parents at about $5.50 each add up to $21.50 for beverages.

Baseball caps are $25, and children's T-shirts are about $20. One each for the children will set parents back $90.

That's $332.50... before factoring in the cost of gas to drive into Boston.

It is not cheap. We have a smaller local team that try to go see for the baseball experience.

I so miss Fenway. When I lived in RI, I dated a boy for 3 years who went to NU and we would go to Fenway and to the Hatch Shell. I also miss Back Bay and The Pour House. :(
