Red Sox near decision to stay at Fenway, or maybe not

According to a report in the Boston Globe, Boston Red Sox stadium adviser Janet Marie Smith has said planned minor renovations for Fenway Park indicate the ballclub feels "optimism" about staying in the 90-year-old ballpark for the long term. According to a report in the Boston Herald, Smith said these renovations, which include seats atop the Green Monster and right-field roof, are "just plain, old-fashioned fix-ups" and any decision on Fenway's future could take another year. Hmm.
