fenway backpack rules

We are sorry, but you have reached this page in error. Please try the action again and if the problem continues, contact Customer Support. Just curious how feasible it is to bring a stroller to Fenway? All I can find on the website said that it had to be able to fold up under fan seats, but no indication of how much room there is under the seats... I assume not much. Has anyone here done it? Any room to use a bike lock to lock it up outside or anything? Also, it looks like no bags larger than 16x16x8 are allowed in - is this one per person or can you have multiple bags? We were hoping to go straight to an afternoon game from downtown but may need to revamp our plans and go back to our hotel first to drop off bags, stroller etc. Also, weirdly, the A-to-Z guide does not expressly state whether or not you can bring in your own food and beverages. It states you cannot bring hard-sided coolers or glass containers. You can't bring in food or drink. They like to charge you an arm and a leg to eat and drink…all part of the experience.
I wouldn't want to bring a stroller to Fenway. There are loads of stairs & it's extremely crowded at the start & end of games. The room under the seats is enough for a purse or jacket but not much else. I believe it's one bag per person but I've only ever had my purse with me. We don't bring extra stuff to a game. As for food & drink, they have let me in with a granola bar but I don't think they allow drinks or lots of food. Out of curiosity, how old is the stroller rider? As a mom of a 5 & 2 year old, I am just starting to feel like our oldest could make it through a day game & she's not been in a stroller for several years. As fun as baseball is, it's also long, a bit boring & full of drunk guys using not the most child-friendly language. I'm sending my oldest with my husband on Father's Day this year & don't expect them to stay for more than an hour. I would drop off your shopping bags at the hotel first. There won't be any place to put them at the game. If you have one of those very inexpensive umbrella strollers, you could take that as they are pretty small and would probably fit under the seats folded.
However, if you have a good quality stroller, I would not leave it locked to a bike rack on the street. Locks can be broken and you don't often see a nice stroller left on the street, it would be attractive to someone. Agree ---I'd be careful about paying big money for seats and then having to leave early for toddler tantrums. The bleachers are cheap, but the view isn't good and the rowdiness factor is increased. Good seats are big money We used to take little kids to the Pawtucket Red Sox, which is a small park, 9- seats, 2- drinks, lots of kiddie stuff.kriega backpack review Forget a stroller in Fenway. goplug backpackWhere would you put it? 75l backpack too bigI wouldn't chain anything other than a bike outside.backpack timpanogos
Edited: 8:44 pm, April 09, 2014 Not enough room under seats. No sneaking in food and drink. You have to pay the 5- for cokes etc. It's the cost of a game.... I thought they let you bring in UNOPENED water bottle ... like one per person ? Why did I think that?. And one or two small snacks for kids won't be confiscated I wouldn't store anything under my seat. Inevitably, something gets spilled and rolls under the seats. Yeah, their website says sealed water ibottles are ok. eusebio backpackI have found quite conflicting info on the Internet, so I'll just call them today and ask. olsenboye backpack saleI'll updat here once I find out.albam backpack If you planning on buying a beer or alcohol, you must bring ID, they will not serve with out ID (even if it is obvious that you are of age!)
I believe a passport is the only acceptable ID for non U.S. residents. I was surprised that they let me bring in my sausage that I bought from an out of park vendor on Monday night, the vendor insisted I could take it into Fenway and I had no problems but drinks are usually prohibited. It doesn't mention strollers, but space is VERY tight in the ball park and I can't imagine where you would put a stroller if you brought one. Ok, here it is, straight from the horse's mouth: Water - you can bring in one unopened (sealed) water bottle per person, or you can bring an empty water bottle and fill it up at one of the fountains. Food - The official policy is that you can't bring food in, but that seems flexible (to the extreme, LOL). This jives with what I've read on other forums (one person said you can just bring in your slice of pizza!). When I asked the guy at Fan Services about bringing in snacks for kids, like apple slices, he said "Oh yeah, no problem, that would be fine".
So although we'll certainly have lunch in advance, we'll bring along a good array of healthy snacks. If we get someone who's a stickler for the rules, so be it. Stroller - again, "officially" there is no stroller-check, but when I asked about bringing one he said it wouldn't be a problem, and we could check it with Fan Services at whatever gate we enter at (and he was very helpful in figuring out which gate would be best, given our seats etc). Thanks for all who expressed concern about bringing kids. We've travelled a fair amount with our kids so have a pretty good idea what to expect. They've also been to NHL games, Canada Day in downtown Ottawa with 100,000 people, etc. I think the key is extreme preparation followed by extreme flexibility, LOL. With that in mind, we'll prepare them (esp our oldest) as best as possible - talking in advance what to expect - the sights, sounds, cheering etc. We'll teach him "take me out to the ballgame" and "Sweet Caroline" so he can fully participate.
We also bought a seat for him, even though he could technically be free (2 and under are free), but at 2.5yo now, he's already almost 35 pounds and it wouldn't be fun for ANY of us for him to be on our knees the whole time! We also have noise-cancelling ear protectors for them (these are a MUST if you ever take kids to large events; also great for napping in the stroller on the go). I also have a baby carrier I can carry the little one in if he gets fussy. My husband bought a single ticket for himself for an evening game (in a much better location!), which will allow him to go and take in the full experience, distraction-free, and also not be upset if we have to leave early with the kids. Since this is likely our only trip to Boston, seeing the Red Sox play at Fenway Park is literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which is why we also purchased tix for the family. We bought tix in Grandstand 6 for $20/ea. However, we realize that this is likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for some of the people around us as well, and it is our number one priority to be considerate travellers.
If our kids are getting antsy, we won't let them disrupt the game. We're fine if we have to leave after one inning or waltz around Yawkey Way for an hour. (In fact, we PLAN to leave after the 7th inning stretch in order to beat the crowds. We're also walking distance to our hotel so won't have to fight subway traffic). We will definitely return home to our hotel prior to the game and pack lightly (thanks for that advice!). Hopefully a mid-day, mid-week, mid-September game will mean fewer drunken rowdies? I hope that helps future travellers and addresses the concerns. Please do feel free to post other advice and tips for game-day, it's all very much appreciated!
