WATCH: Fenway Park transitions to football field for BC-Notre Dame
Fenway Park will play host to a whole different kind of ballgame Saturday night.
The home of the Boston Red Sox has transformed into a football field for No. 4 Notre Dame’s clash with Boston College as part of the Fighting Irish’s annual Shamrock Series.
As you might imagine, that’s quite the big transformation for a field that looked like this just three weeks ago. So how did Fenway transition from a baseball haven to a college football gridiron? Check out the complete construction process in this incredible time-lapse video:

Fenway Park’s official Twitter account also posted photos of various stages of the project, from replacing the infield with sod to erecting field goal posts at each end.
