Official Fenway Park capacity:

Ballpark capacity notes:
For day games, 416 seats in the center field bleachers are covered with a tarp so hitter's have a better background to see the ball.

Reported attendance for individual games is sometimes listed below capacity due to the distribution of complimentary and promotional tickets.

The Red Sox have announced that capacity could be increased to as much as 39,968 by 2012, the 100th year anniversary of Fenway Park.
