Fenway Park has the city’s go-ahead to install dugout-style seating for fans, provided the plan receives the approval of Major League Baseball.

Architect Charles F. Izzo told the Boston Landmarks Commission last night that the seating will give ticket holders along the first base line a player’s-eye view of the game.

“Other ballparks have installed them,” Izzo told the board. “They’ve been a big hit.”

The area will be placed below the field level, with a drink rail area for snacks and refreshments and bar stools.
