	The Significance of Fenway Park
		Many baseball teams are looking to replace their symmetrical, Astroturf-covered, multipurpose "mega-stadiums" built in the 1960s and 1970s (such as Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium and Seattle's Kingdome) with "retro-style," single-use baseball parks that emulate the irregular field configuration and wall heights, urban setting, and overall intimacy of Fenway Park.
		One of the unusual aspects of Fenway Park is the degree to which it retains the "feel" of the original baseball park.
		The wall was constructed at the time of the 1934 renovations, replacing a ten foot-high embankment known historically as "Duffy¹s Cliff." The wall is undoubtedly one of the most character-defining features of Fenway Park.
