The Hagenah Plan Award-winning architect Charles Hagenah's May 1999 design investigation, commissioned by Save Fenway Park!, demonstrated that the programmatic and revenue needs of the Boston Red Sox could be met in a renovated and expanded Fenway Park, by constructing an upper deck above the grandstand and expanding the public areas behind the stands. By preserving the field configuration, bleacher section, slope and orientation of the grandstand, and the park's original facade and entry gates, the plan maintained Fenway Park's historic character and intimacy. The study showed conclusively that the renovation option is indeed feasible.
