If you know anyone who's a Red Sox fan, or a park-hopping baseball fan, or a new Boston-area resident, I can't think of a gift that's more practical and/or entertaining. Shea's charts ensure that you'll have a good view of the game; his materials on where to eat, where to stay, or where to park will help you make your visit that much more enjoyable. (And if you're new to the Nation, his explication of the Red Sox-Yankee rivalry will prove invaluable.)

As a huge, lifelong Red Sox fan, I highly recommend this book. I've attended many games at Fenway in which I was disappointed to find once I arrived at the park that my view was obstructed. This is an excellent and straightforward guide to all of the seats at Fenway and can help fans avoid paying top dollar for seats that block important views like the pitcher's mound. The book also has great tips on restaurants and parking in the area. Overall, a must-have for Sox fans.

This does a fair job of covering the Grandstand seating sections and includes the pole obstructions. It doesn't give a lot of detail about other features being obstructed beyond the pitcher's mound and home plate. Precise Seating [...] gives a much more detailed view of every seat in Fenway showing the obstructed area of the playing field so you know exactly what you're getting. Plus Precise Seating is free.

Fenway Park is amazing, and so is Tim Shea's Fenway Pole Finder Guide. The guide points out some of Fenway's inherent design flaws which can make the viewing experience a little less enjoyable. In fact, prior to owning this guide, I was reluctant to purchase any GS seat, fearing that I would have an unadvertised obstructed view of the game. This is not the case now - I can easily reference the section, row and seat in the guide before committing to a purchase.

In addition to the valuable obstructed seat diagrams, there is a wealth of Fenway general information included in this guide. I would point out to potential purchasers that the seating prices have gone up since the book was published - but other than that the book is spot on.

Tim Shea's Fenway Pole Finder is one of the best, if not the best guide to help determine if your view will be obstructed. It is a must for any fan looking to take in a game at Fenway - regardless of where you sit!

This book is one of the best guides I have ever purchased. I have used it to purchase 4 sets of grandstand seats and have had a perfect view of the field using this guide. This guide was sent from the Fenway gods.

If you are a huge baseball fan like I am, a visit to Fenway is absolutely a must even if you just go once in your lifetime.

Just obtaining a ticket to a Red Sox home game can be a daunting task due to the extremely high demand, so before spending your hard earned dollars READ THIS BOOK. It tells ALL the intricate details of the mind boggling choice of seats and how to avoid the dreaded "pole obstructions". The book also has a wealth of many other tips on how to make the trip to The Church Of Baseball a truly memorable experience.
A 5 Star job was done by this author and wow, thanks to him for this wealth of information!

If you are a Red Sox fan, and visit Fenway alot. You need this book!!

I never again am sad when I get to the park to see my view at home plate is a pole!!!

Dont buy the bad tixs!!! Save them for the uninformed!!!

I enjoyed learning what Tim had to say about Fenway and have passed on the copies that I have purchased to my son and daughter. I have placed my copy in my local library to share with other Sox Fans.

For years I've told my wife, "we should just write down where all the poles are, so next time we buy tickets, we'll know where not to sit." Tim Shea has saved us lots of time.... and bad seating choices. Excellent!

I don't know how I purchased tickets to Fenway without this book. Able to view partial obstructions not listed as obstructed view by the Ticket Office.
