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:
“We often think ourselves inconsistent creatures, when we are the furthest from it, and all the variety of shapes and contradictory appearances we put on, are in truth but so many different attempts to gratify the same governing appetite.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
