Fenway is a stop on the D branch of the MBTA Green Line. It is located in the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood of Boston Massachusetts, under Park Drive near The Riverway. Contrary to the name, this stop is not the closest stop to Fenway Park (the Yawkey station is). Despite this, it was popular during Red Sox home games through the 2006 season due to the free outbound trips to Riverside not found at the closer Kenmore station.
In June, 2007, the MBTA started construction of a new siding at Fenway station to assist with the loading and unload of Fenway Park passengers.
