Section heading[edit]

One or two articles ? Ericd 21:47 Feb 8, 2003 (UTC)

I'm not a die hard baseball fan, so I don't know enough about the Boston Green Monster to expand it into its own article. I suggest leaving it as one article for the time being. -- Modemac 21:53 Feb 8, 2003 (UTC)

Aren't the Red Sox planning on putting seats on top of the Green Monster? -- Zoe

can someone go to fenway and take a nice picture of the green monster so we can have it on this article? Kingturtle 23:44 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)

A google search for "green monster" retrieves hundreds of references to the wall at Fenway Park and very few references to the dragsters. I think the baseball wall should be listed first. Kingturtle 01:12, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)

To be honest, I reverted more out of annoyance that you'd put the ballpark wall first but not bothered fixing the wording.

It's a conflict between one thing that's moderately known worldwide (the land speed record holding Green Monster more than the dragsters) and another that's intensely well-known in one particular geographical area (Boston) and moderately well-known across America among baseball fans. Two rather different types of well-known.

IMO, the best solution would be to expand both until they're big enough to fill an article on their own, and turn this page into a disambiguation. Until that point, I don't really care which goes first, but the one that goes first shouldn't have '... is also ...' at the start ... --Morven 05:46, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)

original height[edit]

Wall was originally 25 feet high, changed to 37' 2" during reconstruction after Yawkey bought team.

Names and nicknames[edit]

I've deleted the part of the lead paragraph that said "often known simply as The Monster" because, having lived in Boston for almost 40 years, I don't think I've ever heard it called just "the monster" out of context. Also de-capitalized "the wall" and replaced the feet-to-meters conversion template with written measurements. - Fenwayguy (talk) 02:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

36 Feet?[edit]

Since when has the monster been 36 feet high? Every other source, including Fenway's article, lists it as 37 feet. Should this be corrected? Delaywaves ^talk 03:01, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Vandalism several months ago.[1] Now fixed. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:49, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requirements to "Autograph" the Green monster?[edit]

In a recent article, Laura Purser-Rose, it was pointed out that she was the first female to autograph it. Congrads, but is there any requirement or whatever to get said honor?
