Fenway Park, Boston: Norwood Memorial Airport (OWD) is about 20 miles from the home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912. It feels magical being in the country’s oldest MLB park, and both the stadium and the surrounding neighborhood are brimming with history and personality. Give yourself time for Jersey Street and the rest of the pregame experience before heading inside to see the Green Monster, Fenway’s iconic 37-foot-tall and 240-feet-wide left-field wall. Better yet, schedule one of their tours for a guided history lesson and behind-the-scenes access.
Yankee Stadium, New York City: Even non-New York Yankees fans like us couldn’t resist visiting the old ballpark as well as the new Yankee Stadium that opened in 2009. The stadium celebrates the 27-time World Series champions’ storied history. Monument Park, in center field, recognizes legends who have played there; plan accordingly as it closes 45 minutes before first pitch. The free New York Yankees Museum is also inside the park and is open until the end of the eighth inning. Among the general aviation airports close to the metro area are Essex County Airport (CDW), Westchester County Airport (HPN) and Linden Airport (LDJ).
