UMass, Dartmouth Victorious In Football's Return To Fenway Park

Fenway Park this weekend hosted the first part of its Fenway Gridiron Series, which featured Dartmouth-Brown on Friday and UMass-Maine last night "before a crowd of 12,794" (BOSTON GLOBE, 11/12). Friday's Dartmouth-Brown game was the first football contest at Fenway since Notre Dame-Boston College in '15. Dartmouth beat Brown 33-10 "before a crowd of 12,297" (BOSTON GLOBE, 11/11).

The Fenway Gridiron Series continues next weekend with Boston College-UConn. With the baseball diamond "completely covered in turf," Fenway this weekend "transformed into a football field with endzones in front of the third-base dugout and bullpens with the Green Monster serving as a backdrop." UMass CB Lee Moses: "When I came out for pregame warmups I had to stop and look around. I was like wow we're really here. It was an amazing feeling and just taking everything in." QB Andrew Ford: "They did a great job with the venue" (MASSLIVE.com, 11/11).
