Back when I worked not too far from Fenway Park, I went as many as a dozen times a year.
But that was before they sold out every game for several years in a row. Then the right field seats (except the ones just off the field) would be the very last seats filled, and only in big games. The bleachers would fill up long before right field.
Heck, back then you could often get tickets from the street scalpers for below face if it was a bad team and/or not great weather on a mid-week night. And cold Spring night games (the kind you need to wear a winter coat too) would be so sparsely attended that one could buy what were then cheap grandstand seats and then move down to decent real box seats cause many of the season ticket holders who had those seats didn't bother to show up. And none of that's even counting the 1,000 or so tickets that the old Sox management held back for celebs or something, and would release unsold tix day of game at face value right at the ticket window
