  Green Monster Tickets - Boston Red Sox Monster Seat Tickets
The Green Monster has been an old favorite for fans, but proves to be more of a "monster" than a lot of players would like to admit.
It is a wall, painted green to match the Fenway Park colors, and stands 37 feet (11.3 meters) high, with the screen above the wall extending 23 feet (7 meters).
The "Green Monster" was originally plastered with advertising billboards, and didn't really turn "green" until the 1950s.

  Green Monster (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Green Monster was the name of several vehicles built by Art Arfons who was often described as a "junk yard genius", and his half brother Walt Arfons.
Green Monster Number 2 was painted by Arfons' mother to resemble the World War II Curtiss P-40 Flying Tigers fighter airplane, with an open mouth showing large teeth.
The most famous "Green Monster" was powered by an F-104 Starfighter General Electric J79 17,500 lbf static thrust jet engine with four-stage afterburner, which Arfons purchased from a scrap dealer for $600 and rebuilt himself, over the objections of General Electric and the government, and despite all manuals for the engine being classified top secret.

 Green Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Green Monster is the nickname of the 37-foot, two-inch (11.3 m) left field wall at Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
Despite the name, the Green Monster was not painted green until 1947; before that it was covered with advertisements.
From 1912 to 1933, there was a 10-foot-high mound that formed an incline in front of the Green Monster, extending from the left-field foul pole to the centerfield flag pole.

A ladder starts near the upper-left corner of the scoreboard, 13 feet above ground, and rises to the top of the Green Monster; this allows the groundskeeper to remove batting-practice home run balls from the netting above the wall.

 SABR :|| Convention | SABR 35 - The Green Monster Effect: a run saved or a run earned? (Research Presentation)
Interested by his observation that the top two left fielders (as measured by ARM rating) were Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice – both of the Boston Red Sox – we decided to study the effects of Fenway Park’s left field.
Fenway’s leftfield wall, The “Green Monster,” has consistently ranked among the shortest fences down the line of any major league ballpark (and has subsequently led to Fenway’s frequent labeling as a “hitter’s ballpark”).
We thus hypothesized that Fenway’s leftfield and the Green Monster result in fewer runs scoring on singles to leftfield, thus causing the park to favor, at least in some situations, the defensive team.

 Gamasutra - Schilling, McFarlane, Salvatore Team For Green Monster Games
Green Monster Games, which does not yet have an official website, but is advertising for high-end programming personnel through game job sites including Gamasutra, is apparently named after the left field wall at Fenway Park, home to the Red Sox and Schilling.
It has also been revealed that Spawn creator and longtime baseball fan Todd McFarlane will be aiding Green Monster Games as lead artist on their new project, and Massachusetts-based Forgotten Realms author and Drizzt Do'Urden creator R.A. Salvatore will act as creative director for the company's output, according to the job advertisements.
Thus far, no specifics on the games Green Monster might create have been revealed, other than technical requirements that indicate Emergent's GameBryo engine (used in Bethesda's recently released RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) may be the firm's game engine of choice.

 Atop the Green Monster
In avoiding the mistakes of the past, the design called for installing an infallibly weatherproof single cluster, which would be located in the same spot as its predecessor-atop Fenway's left field wall, which is known locally as the Green Monster.
Following a period of research and component evaluation, both Acentech and Boston Light & Sound concurred that the new audio components scheduled to sit atop the Green Monster in left field would be grouped in a single cluster consisting of five MH4020C coaxial stadium horns from Electro-Voice.
For the long throws required of the cluster, which ranged up to almost 500 feet (152 m) in some places, the MH4020C horn/drivers inherently possess the necessary power to reach home plate from their distant outfield aerie.
