(In the picture of Fenway Park on the right, you can see the Citgo sign above the center field wall.)
Located above Kenmore Square in Boston, the historic Citgo sign has over the years become sort of an attraction. Nowhere has it been more visible to millions of onlookers than during any televised Red Sox baseball game from Fenway Park, where the brightly lit sign has become a landmark, seen directly behind the famous Green Monster.
Built in 1940, and having worn the various Citgo logos, the current design was adopted in 1965. In 1983, after four years of not being lit, Citgo planned to disassemble it, however the Boston Landmarks Commission debated and finally decided that the sign should be preserved.
