38,805

Fenway Park had the smallest seating capacity in the major leagues for a number of years, but that is no longer the case. A number of the classic ballparks had seating capacities under 40,000, and some were smaller than Fenway. Montreal's Jarry Park was smallest of all the modern ballparks, at about 28,000. At the time of Jarry Park's closing in 1977, the other old ballparks were gone, and Fenway's capacity was listed (according to Sporting News Baseball Guides) at 33,513, making it the smallest in the majors at that point. Fenway began to grow incrementally over the next three decades, as pockets of seating areas were added from time to time. For the 2007 season, Fenway Park's capacity was increased to 38,805, rendering Fenway as the third smallest, behind Tropicana Field and PNC Park. (McAfee Coliseum has the smallest official capacity in the majors due to a tarp over the upper deck, but with those seats it is larger than any of these. McAfee's replacement, Cisco Field, should become the smallest park when it opens.) By Fenway Park's centennial in 2012, the team has announced that capacity could be increased to as much as 39,968. Capacity has increased in recent years as additional rows have been added in front of the field boxes in former foul territory (the "Dugout Seats"), on top of "The Green Monster" (the "Monster Seats"), atop the right field roof (the "Right Field Roof Seats"), in 2006 to the roof boxes (the "Pavilion Seats"), which has been raised by about 10 feet, to the former .406 Club (now the EMC club and HP Pavilion), and in 2007 through the addition of "Conigliaro's Corner" in right field and additional standing room in left field. There have been proposals to increase the seating capacity to as much as 45,000 through the expansion of the upper decks, while others (notably former team owners, the JRY Trust) have called for razing the historic ballpark entirely and building a similar, but larger and more modern, scalable facility nearby. Any such action would likely be met by strong local opposition. Fenway Park also has standing room areas on the Roof, HP Pavilion, Green Monster and throughout the park.
