There's an old person somewhere convinced their TV is messed up because of this.

We’d like to remind our viewers that the yellow pole is not official

and both teams on the same sideline like it’s a subway stop

CFL been known to as well but it’s okay because they’re nicer

Wrigley Field didn’t have this - Fenway’s out here innovating in the “fuck this idea in particular” genre

It's always those Pesky little details...

Well played, PC.

Well played indeed.

ESPN Producer: “CALL IT CHARM!”

Looks like the two previous Fenway Bowls used a different angle that was weird but DID NOT INCLUDE A GIANT YELLOW POLE BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE GAME

But then you can't tell you're not just at another non name dumpy NCAA stadium.

tcnachos.bsky.social•65 days ago

Would bet a sizable sum that the old production guy left, new guy said "why do we use this weird setup? Make it normal" and now this.

but that’s the CHAHHM of Fenway

capecodpostaah.bsky.social•65 days ago

Did NOBODY think of this ahead of time?!?

The MBTA’s new Yellow Line service is already getting roasted online

I posted about this on Threads and someone accused me of “enjoying being annoyed for no reason”

The shot is awful lol

jimflynn.bsky.social•65 days ago

It’s Fenway. Not the only blocked view !

Pesky Pole please, have some respect

These bowls are an anachronism. They will go into the good night soon.

pjoli.bsky.social•65 days ago

It's called pesky pole, I don't know what we all expected

stholeary.bsky.social•65 days ago

UConn has played at Fenway before & I don't remember this being an issue.

To give people a sense of nostalgia for the obstructed view seats at old Boston Garden

But can teams go towards both end zones?

rocketcheddar.bsky.social•65 days ago

I remember when they first played a bowl game at Wrigley. They had to change direction every possession so as to only use one end zone because the other one was way too close the the brick wall for safety. Ironically there was one pick six which was the only TD scored on the brick wall end zone.
