Fenway Park To Be Packed Tomorrow For Winter Classic

by Randy Booth on Dec 31, 2009 2:24 PM EST in News

In 24 hours, the Winter Classic will (hopefully) be taking place. That means Fenway Park will be sold out ... in January. Weird. Very weird.

Travis from SB Nation's Broad Street Hockey has press credentials and is in town today for Thursday's events. He has taken a few photos of the beauty that is Fenway in the winter:

Purdy.

I will also be there tomorrow with a fancy little press credential in my hand. I will update Over The Monster with occasional posts -- or just one huge one at the end of it all -- but the better way to catch me is over at SBNation.com where I will be updating throughout the game. I also plan to be tweeting like a mad man @RCBooth, so follow me to get all the updates.

I'll be in, out and around the park all before game time. So come find me if you want to chat. I'll be the fool taking pictures, talking with other fans and suffering from hypothermia. Can't wait!

There will be no hypothermia if you dress right

Growing up in Wisconsin, we’d play hockey outdoors all the time, and it was a lot colder there than it will be here tomorrow. Just wear a thermal coat, good hat and gloves, winter boots, and long underwear under your jeans if you tend to be cold blooded, and minimize the number of snowballs your friends shove down the back of your shirt.

I'm very, very jealous

I’ll be just down the street, sitting in my apartment, watching.

Enjoy, man.

If I can schedule work around it, I’ll be watching.

Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.

I have a five-tool player in my pants.

grrr

The Caps were originally supposed to play Boston, but NBC thought that the Flyers would get better ratings. Philthy’s currently tied with the NY teams for last in the Atlantic division, while Washington leads the SE. At least this means I won’t be rooting against a Boston team playing at Fenway. (Out of curiosity, will there be an OTM gamethread?)
