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. 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. It is unclear if Fenway station will still be used heavily during Red Sox home games beginning in the 2007 season, as the free outbound trips have been eliminated with the MBTA rate increase as of January 1, 2007.
