Question: You must be looking at the problem of the obstructed views at Fenway Park. Can something be done?

Question: Just a curiosity question, and I'll preface it by saying that I hope there are no plans to do so because any additional quirk at Fenway is always welcome. Now that the Monster seats have taken the place of the screen, I was wondering if there were any plans to take down the ladder on the Monster, now that it's become a ladder to nowhere that serves no purpose whatsoever?

Question: You mentioned scalpers very briefly. We have a small stadium, a huge market, and very expensive seats. I walk around Fenway and find there are hundreds of people who are selling tickets, which is not supposed to be legal. I travel around the country. I go to any game that I want to attend. I can just walk up and get a ticket. There are scalper-free zones. I'm curious about what you are doing from that standpoint?

Question: I have two questions. The first one is, is it economically or physically possible to make the right field seats face the field of play? The second is parking, which is a tough situation for the fans who don't have an alternative to get in. What can you do to help improve that situation?

Question: Looking at Fenway Park and seeing how it has changed over the years, we see the prevalence of the advertising, certainly along all the walls and along the perimeter of the park. I know about the controversy this year with the All Star game with Spiderman logos on the base pads. Will there ever be a time at Fenway when we'll see Dunkin' Donuts logos on first base or second base? What about naming rights?

Question: I have a question about the non-baseball uses of Fenway Park. I remember, historically, when Mr. Yawkey let the Eugene McCarthy rally be held at Fenway Park in the late 1960s. That was shocking because it had been used so little for anything other than baseball. We now have Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffett. What are the criteria going to be for non-baseball uses and is there a physical reason - are there certain types of uses that would literally tear up the field?

Question: A friend of mine told me that the seats at Fenway, I presume because of their age, are actually three inches narrower than seats at virtually all other ballparks. Is that true and are there any plans to address this?

Question: As far as the legroom goes, that's obviously a problem too, especially in the grandstand. Is the hesitancy to change that because it's so hard to envision doing architectural work on that without taking a season off at Fenway Park? Is the hesitancy because you don't want to lose a season at Fenway Park and have to play somewhere else?

Question: I'm curious to hear your views on what the life expectancy of Fenway Park really is. It seems every dollar that you spend is great in the short term because it makes a more enjoyable experience now and it is obviously a dollar that management can't put toward the development and acquisition of property in the development of a new stadium. It seems, in the City of Boston, that we're just missing a wonderful opportunity because there is available space on the Waterfront. I know at least one concern has been that management does not have the money to go build a new stadium and that there's the charm of Fenway. How long is Fenway really going to last? Are we going to be in fifty years still talking about the nooks and crannies of Fenway and yearly improvements to it? Are we missing a wonderful opportunity now to build a new stadium?
