Opening Day In Photos

new_section.jpgThe baseball gods smiled down on Bostonist and graced us with a ticket to attend the first game of the season at Fenway Park. The mood around the park was exhilarating and obviously upbeat. Fans were hanging out at every single bar down Lansdowne, laughing, eating, and getting numb prepared for the first pitch at Fenway. At around 1:30 pm the mounting cheers from inside the park signaled to all fans that the Opening Day festivities were starting, and they began their mad dash to their respective seats. Bostonist made it into the park by way of Gate B near the bleachers and worked our way to the other side, all the while taking some photos and checking out the newly completed work to old Fenway Park.

There were plenty of celebrities on hand to watch the game, including Mitt Romney a few rows away. When Mitt started looking back and up toward the luxury boxes Bostonist, spotted Senator Ted Kennedy directly above, waving down at Governor Mitt.
