“Assisted Listening Devices are available to fans who may have hearing or visual impairments. The ALDs can be picked up prior to and during the game at all Fan Information booths located at Gates B, D, and E. Should fans encounter any issues with the devices, they are encouraged to utilize the Live Chat function of the MLB Ballpark app to report any problems or receive assistance.
Fans can also listen on their own smart phones by connecting to the Fenway Park Wi-Fi and downloading the Listen EVERYWHERE app. The IP address is 172.22.150.150. Once the IP is set, the app will default to the Listen EVERYWHERE screen and two services should be listed (Public Address and WEEI). Select which service you would like to listen to.”
Finally, the rules for Service Animals have been relaxed. They still have to enter through Gate D, but they can exit and re-enter any gate to relieve themselves.
