Page "Fenway Park" Paragraph 71

Fenway Park has one of the smallest seating capacity in the major leagues.

Some now-closed ballparks had seating capacities under 40, 000, and some had a smaller capcity than Fenway.

Montreal's Jarry Park was smallest of all the modern ballparks, with a seating capacity of about 28, 000.

At the time of Jarry Park's closing in 1977, 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.
