The Boston Globe has an article on adding 10,000 seats to Fenway Park. It seems an engineering firm has determined that the existing foundation can support more decks to add that much capacity. I thought this was interesting, however:

Meanwhile, work began this week to add front-row seating at least two rows much like the dugout seats installed before last season that will eventually extend from the box seats down the left-field line around the infield and down the right-field line, adding several hundred choice seats.

This isn’t the clearest writing, but I believe it means that they are going to add two rows of seats in front of the current box seats all around the park. Now, Fenway has a pretty small foul area as it is. I’ve seen a runner from third thrown out on a wild pitch, for example. If they add these rows behind home plate, I suspect that play will increase dramatically. And, of course, a few fewer foul pops being caught should increase offense as well.
