Go green.

Well, it's that day again, April 20th. Giving some people a reason to celebrate being green. While people might smoke and roll their green, I'm celebrating this day for a different reason. Today is the 100th anniversay of Fenway Park and with it includes that ever dubious green monster.

Fenway Park is THE ballpark that every die hard baseball fan longs to go to. The place has withstood time for obviously one hundred years. The reasons for this are plentiful but I want to focus on just a few.

In a time where companies are driven to gain the biggest bottomline, Fenway Park is simply Fenway Park. It isn't Target Field, or U.S. Cellular Field, or even Wrigley Field. The place seems intent on telling you to keep your damn groceries, cell phones, and stick of gum. It doesnt want money for a name and that is something that consumers, exectuvites and fans should all take note of. Quite honestly, it's something for ownership to be proud of.

While Fenway is quite old, the park is really quite updated. They do have a video board and available seating and concessions stands are always growing in numbers.

Fenway parks seems keen on not letting social media get ahold of their park and with good reason. The historical feel needs to be present and if social media technologies were implemented into the park it would definitely lose that feel.

Fenway needs to stick to it's historical roots and if it didnt I believe their would be an uprising, not only among Red Sox fans, but also baseball fans in general. You simply do not take a 1954 Chevy Mustang and put in features from a 2012 model.

Another reason social media cannot be incorporated at this park is because the venue, not the multi-million dollar athletes on the payroll, or the manager who recently ran his mouth against one of the most beloved players in the Boston area. The park has constantly been changed but the historical contexts have always remained the same.

So thank you Fenway Park and Boston Red Sox ownership and management for ignoring social media. It has turned out quite positive.
