We did two guided tours of Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts: the Fenway Public Tour, which focused on the history, and the Fenway Pre-game Tour, with access to the warning track on the field behind home plate. Both tours had us sit in historic seats and the Green Monster.

The lone red seat in the right field bleachers (Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21) signifies the longest home run ever hit at Fenway, hit by Ted Williams on June 9, 1946, and was officially measured at 502 feet (153 m):
