Fenway Trip Advice?

PrintSo I splurged a couple of months back and bought tickets to Saturday's game up at Fenway, and even though the team is stinking it up right now, I'm ridiculously excited. I've never been to Fenway, and never hung out near the park when I've been in Boston, so I would love some advice on how to spend 3-4 hours before the game if anyone has any. On a purely practical note, my friend is driving us up and we're thinking we should park out in Newton and take the subway in rather than brave parking near Fenway. Any better ideas than that?

As for what to do before the game... somehow, I've yet to go to a single Red Sox game in my first two school years, so I can't help you all that much on that. But the area around the park is really lively on gamedays, and there are restaurants, bars and shops all in the area, so there are definitely things to do.

- Do NOT attempt to park near Fenway. It will suck and be super expensive. A lot of people park in Newton, or at the Riverside T stop which is the end of the D Green line.
- The area near Fenway has about a million huge sports bars, so if that's your scene you're set.
- The Boston Common is a short T ride away so if it is a nice day you can go throw a ball around or something.

My advice is get there early and enter the park early! Between the little street inside the ticketed area and the mandatory "see the park from every vantage point" walk inside, you can easily spend an hour or two having fun before the game starts.
They don't allow people directly on top of the Green Monster unless they have tickets for those seats, but if you go up the centerfield side, you basically get all the way up there.
Another cool spot to check out is the bar they built on top of the roof over the right-field seats. Good picture spot.
The area behind the outfield seats with all the food concessions is also very cool.
Fenway is a great experience; have fun!
