Fenway Park has received early approval for some game-changing new seats.
According to the Red Sox, the Boston Landmarks Commission has given its approval for a dugout-style fan experience. The proposal features a new seating area adjacent to the team dugouts that will offer ticket holders the same below-field level view of the game the players experience. The section’s occupancy has not been confirmed, but plans show as many as 25 individuals will be able to enjoy the space.
According to the Boston Herald, architect Charles F. Izzo told the Landmarks Commission’s board on Tuesday night that fans in the new area will be free to stand and mingle amongst one another, as they will be seated on bar stools below the eye level of those in rows behind them.
