Fenway Park E-Guide: Review

Ballpark E-Guides Fenway Park edition could be a useful tool.

Kurt Smith's "Fenway Park E-Guide" is available for download over at http://www.ballparkeguides.com/ for a very economical $5.00. This is a PDF put together to help those visiting Fenway Park get around, buy tickets, along with almost anything else you'd like to do while watching the Red Sox play in Boston. There's a lot of knowledge and research packed into the 25 pages, and you can tell that Smith did his homework while researching.

Some of the more valuble and unique sections of the guide are his Tightwad Tips, which give money saving suggestions on things such as Parking and Food. Being intimately familiar with Fenway myself, there wasn't anything new in the Guide for me, however, I could definetly see the value in it for people from out of town or those making their yearly pilgrimage to the Mecca that's Fenway.

I think a lot of value could be added to the Guide with a little more attention to the actual layout, as a lot of the information is jammed into the pages, without any discernible deliniation between sections, making them run together. Adding a table of contents, and/or a glossary would really take the Guide to the next level, and make it an invaluble tool when printed out and visiting Fenway.

All that said, for the price, and for the information that's already there, this is a recomended Guide for those not haunting Fenway on a regular basis, and for even those who do, I'm sure they'd learn something new from Smith's thourough research.

OVERALL: 7/10

I would like to thank Derek Hixon for his kind review of the Fenway Park E-Guide on SawxBlog. His time and effort is greatly appreciated.

Regarding a table of contents, I have had a couple of people suggest this, and indeed it does make sense. So I will be adding tables of contents to the available Ballpark E-Guides in the very near future, and it will be announced on the website when they are available.

Again, thanks to Derek Hixon at SawxBlog for the trouble, and a Happy Holidays to all!

Best Regards,
Kurt Smith
