    Veterans Stadium, home of the Philadelphia Phillies, has the largest seating capacity of any major league baseball park. The stadium seats about 62,400.
    Fenway Park is the home ballpark for the Boston Red Sox baseball club, with the smallest seating capacity of 38,805.

    Veterans Stadium was recently torn down so it no longer has the largest seating capacity of any Major League park.

    What's the largest crowd ever to attend a game in Fenway Park?
    The biggest baseball crowd at Fenway ever was 47,627 for a Yankees doubleheader on September 22, 1935.

    Previous to that, 46,995 fans attended a Detroit Tigers doubleheader on August 19, 1934. One week earlier, on August 12, 1934, a crowd of 46,766 said goodbye to Babe Ruth at a Yankees doubleheader. (The Babe actually did not retire after the 1934 season, but played one more year with the Boston Braves.)

    Those crowds will never be equaled under Fenway's current dimensions. After World War II, more stringent fire laws and league rules prohibited the overcrowding that was so common in the 1930s. The current capacity of Fenway Park is 36,108 for night games and 35,692 for day games.
