Next season, the Boston Red Sox will be able to squeeze several hundred more fans into teeny Fenway Park. During each off season since 2002, the organization has added several more seats to the oldest park in the majors, most notably seats atop the famed Green Monster, as well as a patio on the right roof deck.
Changes for this year include renovations to some of the women's restrooms, more luxury box seats, a new concourse behind the third base seating area, vending machines to purchase Charlie Cards to make stumbling onto the Green Line easier after the game, and a "Bleacher Bar" under the center field seating area. Just what the bleacherites need, another place to buy an $8.00 Budweiser.
No plans have been announced to replace the Fenway seats, which are only comfortable if you are under 5'3 and 110 pounds, and have scoliosis.

I'm 6'4, but 6'5" when I like to show off, but Fenway is small and if I had season tickets for that place I'd need a chiropractor.
I have been there every season for the past 4 years, and it's always a good time up there.
In the end, they want to pump more money in the park and sadly, the improvements will only be done to expand standing room.
Like the maryland orioles' fan, I too am too large for Fenway seats. Coming in at 6' 2" and 240, I would kill a few Sox fans if I had to sit there so long.
Maybe they'll expand to where I actually want to be there...
