Appearances in Media
The stadium has been featured in a number of films, most recently in the 2010 crime film The Town. In the film's climax, the two central characters enter Fenway Park's cash room disguised as Boston police officers to steal $3 million.
Other notable movies filmed at Fenway Park include 1989's Field of Dreams, that featured Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones watching a Red Sox game, and 2005's Fever Pitch. The ending of Fever Pitch had to be rewritten during the 2004 production when the Red Sox went on to win their first World Series title in 86 years.
In March 2012 PBS aired a National Geographic television documentary Inside Fenway Park: An Icon at 100, narrated by Matt Damon, celebrating the park's centennial.

Famous quotes containing the words appearances and/or media:
“It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
