Editing Fenway Park (section)

==Capacity and sellout streak==
Fenway's capacity differs between day and night games because, during day games, the seats in center field (Section 35) are covered with a black tarp in order to provide a [[batter's eye]].

Fenway's lowest attendance was recorded on October 1, [[1964 Boston Red Sox season|1964]], when a game against the [[Cleveland Indians]] drew only 306 paid spectators.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/100168509/record-low-attendance-at-red-sox-game/ "306 Watch Red Sox Edge Indians, 4-2"], ''[[The Boston Globe]]'', October 2, 1964. Accessed April 21, 2022, via [[Newspapers.com]]. "With only 306 customers in the stands, the Red Sox Thursday defeated the Indians, 4 to 2, to snap a six-game losing streak.... The 306 paid was the smallest crowd in Fenway Park history.... Previous low was 674 for a Kansas City game last season..."</ref><ref>Simmons, James. [https://calltothepen.com/2020/07/07/boston-red-sox-low-point-attendance-fenway-park/ "Boston Red Sox: The low point of attendance at Fenway Park"], Fansided, July 7, 2020. Accessed April 21, 2022. "Rock bottom hit during game 160 of the year. Riding a six-game losing streak, with just three games left on the schedule, Red Sox pitcher Ed Connely scattered eight hits and seven walks over 6.1 innings to beat the Cleveland Indians 4-2. The game was played in under two and a half hours and in front of 306 fans."</ref><ref>Nowlin, Bill. [https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/october-1-1964-the-lowest-documented-attendance-at-fenway-park/ "October 1, 1964: Red Sox-Indians game draws 306 fans, lowest documented attendance at Fenway Park"], [[Society for American Baseball Research]]. Accessed April 21, 2022. "Sources agree that a mere 306 fans turned out for the game on Thursday afternoon, October 1, 1964, at Boston's Fenway Park. It can stand as the lowest documented attendance of a game at the ballpark, though there was a game there in 1922 which the Chicago Tribune claimed drew only, precisely, 68.... The ''Boston Globe'', however, provided a count of 2,800 for the 1922 game, leaving one to wonder how there could be such a discrepancy."</ref>

On May 15, 2003, the Red Sox game against the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]] sold out, beginning a sellout streak that lasted until 2013. On September 8, 2008, when the Red Sox hosted the [[Tampa Bay Rays]], Fenway Park broke the all-time Major League record for consecutive sellouts with 456, surpassing the record previously held by [[Jacobs Field]] in [[Cleveland]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Fenway Sells Out for Record 456th Straight Time|first=Howard|last=Ulman|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2008-09-08-1185934874_x.htm |newspaper=[[USA Today]]|date=September 8, 2008|access-date=September 8, 2008}}</ref> On June 17, 2009, the park celebrated its 500th consecutive Red Sox sellout. According to WBZ-TV, the team joined three NBA teams which achieved 500 consecutive home sellouts.<ref name="herald-500sellout">{{cite news |title=Fenway Sellout Streak Hits 500|first=Michael|last=Silverman|url=http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20090618-SPORTS-906180416|newspaper=[[Boston Herald]]|date=June 18, 2009|access-date=June 21, 2009}}</ref> The sellout streak ended on April 10, 2013 (with an attendance of 30,862) after the Red Sox sold out 794 regular season games and an additional 26 postseason games.<ref>{{cite news |title=As Red Sox' Attendance Streak Ends, What's Next?|first=Nick|last=Cafardo|author-link=Nick Cafardo|url=http://bostonglobe.com/sports/2013/04/10/attendance-streak-over-finally/vNPGUaflCUHRzRhXql9wjP/story.html|newspaper=[[The Boston Globe]]|date=April 11, 2013|access-date=April 11, 2013}}</ref>
