There's been occasional talk about replacing Fenway. Talk is all it is. No stadium with history should ever be replaced. You could build a $100,000,000,000 park in Boston but you still couldn't look out and think, "Babe Ruth pitched here. And Walter Johnson". There was talk a while ago but I think it was just leverage to build the Monster seats. I remember hear about bumper stickers reading "If you build it, we WON"T come" John Henry & Co. always wanted to build a new park but the fans wouldn't let them, hence the constant offseason reno projects. As far as I'm concerned there aren't enough modern amenities to make up for the history lost when you tear down a ballpark built over a 100 years ago, that is still perfectly functioning and regarded as a shrine to baseball. I hated seeing Comiskey, Tigers, Yankee Stadiums being torn down. They should be historical landmarks but I get it. Then someone has to maintain the thing and that won't be cheap. They turned old tigers Stadium into a youth center. Kids, High schoolers et al can play where Cobb and Kaline did. That's cool
