Fenway Park is reminder of what New York’s new stadiums lack

BOSTON — It’s too small. Half the seats face away from the action they’re supposed to face toward. Almost every seat is ridiculously micro-sized, as if they were designed for a smaller form of human being — which makes sense, because it was built in 1912, when on average most human beings were smaller than they are now.

Everything about Fenway Park should scream: Dump!

And yet being here for a couple of days only conjures a different kind of emotion, a different feeling.

This is what we had.

This is what we miss.

Look, it probably comes off like the worst kind of spoiled-brat lament, because the two new baseball stadiums that will be celebrating their 10th anniversary next year are, in a word, beautiful.
