There will be fans atop the left-field wall at Fenway Park, albeit in cardboard form.
The Red Sox announced a program that will add some faces to Fenway when cames begin on July 24, while allowing to raise money for a good cause. The following is a statement from the team:
Red Sox fans have the opportunity to see their likeness sitting atop the Green Monster during the 2020 season through the "Monster Home Run Challenge," a Red Sox Foundation fundraiser that places cutouts of fans in Monster seats for the chance to win prizes if their silhouette is hit by a Red Sox home run ball. Fans may visit redsox.com/monsterchallenge to join.
As part of the program, participants automatically receive a personalized scoreboard message on the Right Field video board and 2020 Red Sox promotional items. Those whose cutouts are hit by a Red Sox home run will also receive the autographed ball, two Green Monster tickets for the 2021 season, a custom Red Sox home jersey with their name, and a video replay of the home run.
The 20x30" coroplast cutouts will be rearranged on the Green Monster and moved prior to each homestand. Fans will receive their cutout at the conclusion of the program. A $500 donation is required to support the Red Sox Foundation.
Those who wish to see their likeness on Opening Day, July 24, and through August 19 must submit their photos by 5 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, July 18, by visiting redsox.com/monsterchallenge. Fans can also sign up now for the second half of the season, which will run from August 28-September 24.
