Rand: Burn the Barn? No!
Officials announced plans for a "new" Fenway Park in 1999, which was to be an exact replica of the classic ballpark in Boston. But you can't duplicate 100 years of character, nor can you put a century worth of history in a moving van. In part because the "Save Fenway Park" folks were able to do what their name suggests, the old ballpark survived. It received some upgrades, played host to two World Series titles, and here we are now.
