Fenway face-lift proves hit for college football

BOSTON -- Fenway Park may be synonymous with the Red Sox, but on Saturday, it was all about college football.

After weeks of work, Fenway transformed from a baseball park into a football field for the Shamrock Series between Boston College and Notre Dame. By the end of the night, the fourth-ranked Irish came away with a tight 19-16 victory.

The playing field went from the third-base line to the edge of the right-field wall. The manual scoreboard, usually full of scores from the day's Major League Baseball games, showed the results of other college football contests.
