More fans will get to see the World Series champion Boston Red Sox play at Fenway Park next year.

The Red Sox are adding more than 800 new seats as part of improvements planned for the 2008 season. Along with increased standing room areas, Fenway's capacity will approach 37,000.

"We understand the demand for such seats. Thus, we are adding to the supply," Red Sox' President Larry Lucchino said.

The new seats will be added to the third level above home plate. The pavilion area will be extended down the lines.
