As of June 2009, the Boston Red Sox had sold out 500 consecutive home games at Fenway Park.
Fenway Park has undergone significant renovations, since the John Henry ownership began in 2002, including added seats on the Green Monster (left field wall) and on the right field roof. Under the bleachers in right field has become a large concession area. The team has also been able to purchase land adjacent to the park to expand office space and make room for larger locker rooms and player facilities. Another plan is in place to add 1500 or more seats in the next 2 years to increase capacity to over 38,000.
Fenway Park boasts the oldest hand-operated scoreboard in the majors, located in the Green Monster. The scoreboard has been in place since the ballpark opened in 1912.
