A view of the left side of the Fenway Park outfield in 1914, the future location of the "Green Monster."
How times change, part two. These days you can be one of 274 fans who sit atop the Green Monster, one of the most iconic parts of Fenway. The monster was born after Duffy’s Cliff — a 10-foot dirt mound that was also a warning track— was demolished to make way for it during the 1934 reconstruction. A couple of years later, the Sox installed a 23-foot net to protect the storefronts on Lansdowne Street from moon-shot home runs. But the famously high wall didn’t pick up the nickname until 1947, when ads were removed and the Monster was painted green to match the rest of the ballpark.
