The Beginning of Fenway


The first game in Fenway park was April 20, 1912. The first game was supposed to be on the 18th but those two games got rained out. The first night game at the stadium was 35 years after the grand opening on June 13, 1947. The creator of the park was James Mclaughlin. The total cost to make the stadium was $650,000. The architects of the stadium were Osburn engineering. When the park first opened it could hold 35,000 fans not including staff.
