Plus, when you’re all done, there’s quite a bit of history to take in, including a major Civil War monument and a trio of British cannon that George Washington’s army seized in 1776.
No one will notice the tears in this dense, open, and often rowdy seating area in America’s oldest major-league park—unless it’s a particularly rough game for the Red Sox and most fans split by the top of the seventh (which has become increasingly likely this season).

This barely decade-old waterfront park affords fabulous views of the current and future Boston skyline.
Weep at the grandeur of humankind and despair of its mortality.
Or just gently contemplate the state of things. You won’t be bothered.
