okay so im a fourteen year girl and i know you all will hate to hear this, but im a huge yankee fan. im going to the yankees/sox series in september at fenway. it will be my first time in boston and my first time at fenway. i want to wear my hat and jersey and go and support my team. im not obnoxious, i never boo the other team. i just want to go and see your park and support my team. if i go wearing yankee stuff and just sit there quietly, and occasionaly cheer on my team but never boo you guys, do you think i will have a problem with other poeple there. when i was yankee stadium in april to see the red sox there were alot of red sox fans and no one gave them a hard time. do you think its not a good idea to wear my yankee stuff and will people be really mean to me? thank you so much.

You will have a problem, especially from the seventh inning on when some of the raunchy fans are full of beer. You could get away with what you plan to do if you wore it to any other team the Red Sox were playing, but not the Yankees. I would say leave the Yankee stuff home and enjoy the game. I am not a Red Sox or Yankee fan and do not live in Boston but have been to many Yankee/Red Sox games in the past at Fenway park. Remember, it only takes one die hard fan to give you a problem, why take the chance for a bad experience at a great game?

Im a Huge Red Sox fan and I dont think you have anything to worry about. By then the Red Sox will have the division pretty much locked up. Your also a 14 year old girl. I dont think you have to worry about getting into fights. The Yankee fans that usually get into fights at Fenway are drunk 20-something year old guys. So go and wear you hat and jersey and have fun. You may get a boo or two when you first walk into the ball park but other than that youll be fine.

Yankee and Red Sox fans both sit atop the list of rabid fandom. But, just as in Yankee Stadium, if you're not an obnoxious jerk opposing fans get treated fairly. When it's a close, back and forth game it can actually be fun being in the *enemy* camp. If (by some miracle) the Yanks are drubbing the Sox then keep it on the down low, girl. If the Sox are smoking the Yanks (no need to suspend belief here) then be prepared for some persistant good-natured ribbing on your wardrobe selection.

I think you will be just fine. I doubt seriously that any fan there would do anything to a 14 year old child enjoying a baseball game. Enjoy the game and cheer your team on just as Red Sox fans will cheer their team whether they are in Fenway or Yankee Stadium.

Some people will probably say some stuff...but nothing too bad, I love the Red Sox and if I were going to Yankee Stadium for a game I would DEFINATLY wear all my sox stuff!
I'm a 14 year old girl too and when I went to NY a couple people said stuff about my Red Sox shirt but I said stuff back and it was no big deal...I think its fun :D

If you're not obnoxious you might survive. A 14 year old girl is pretty harmless. A drunk man from Southie.....tends to be problematic. Usually there is a good mix of red sox and yankee fans during game where the two teams face off. As much as I love Red Sox and Red Sox nation, we always start it. I saw a brawl at Camden Yard between 14 Orioles and Red Sox fans.

about half the people at a yankees/red sox game at fenway are mostly yankee fans. i went to a game last year and the sox fans gave a little trouble to yankee fans who wouldn't shut up. if u don't harass the sox fans or give them a hard time, then you'll be fine.

Don't be obnoxious. The Red Sox fans will probably be happy to see you, since their division is locked up and the Yankees stink.

Respect gets respect. You should have a great time except of course for the loss to the 2007 Champion Red Sox.

i say stand up for yourself and wear the yankees jersey.
but the red sox/patriots have the most obnoxious fans in sport. so you will get some comments just dont listen to them.
