39,928 - Fenway’s new Capacity
Its not quite 40,000, but its real close. Close enough to round up in my opinion. The Red Sox officially unveiled the new seating and standing areas at Fenway today. But, for most of us, the biggest change we’ll be noticing will be new bleacher seats. Not any new locations, just new actual seats. But don’t worry, the Red Seat from Ted Williams’ final at bat is still there.
The biggest non-seating change is probably Coca-Cola’s sponsorship, which has grown beyond the coke bottles on the light tower into a new seating area down the left field line.

They say that this is it for new seats in Fenway, but as they continue to sell out every game, somehow I am doubting that. Either way, its nice to know that a couple hundred extra scalpers will get to make money this year. Wait, I mean fans will get to see games. Yeah, thats its.
Stumble it!
