Boston’s Fenway Park Ranks Among Top 5 for Best Ballparks

We're just one week away from Opening Day at Fenway Park.

The freshly painted lines, the smell of the sausage carts outside the stadium and the seventh inning stretch. We cannot wait!

On your next trip to the Boston landmark, take a look around and soak in one of the best ballparks in the nation. Growing up a Red Sox fan, I may be a little biased, but I'm not the only one who thinks Fenway is iconic.
