About 2 hours before game time, the Red Sox security “Guest relations” clear Van Ness Street and the Red Sox Souvenir Store. They set up the barriers and the turn-stiles with the usual bag check and metal detector before allowing a ticket holder inside. Once inside however, you have complete access to the Souvenir Store and Fenway Park on Van Ness Street. The brass Jazz band will begin playing once the barriers are up and the street is open for drinking, socializing, buying souvenirs or grabbing a sausage before going in to the park. For the kids, “Stilts” will play catch with anyone around his circle. How hard is it for people to throw back to a guy on stilts? Not hard at all, “Stilts” can snag a ball within a 10 foot perimeter. Other points of note are the line-up board, historical pictures and plaques around Fenway and if you want there is a “My first day at Fenway” mock-scoreboard where you can have your photo taken by Gate A.
