Red Sox offering fans chance to win a sleepover at Fenway Park
Curt, your host, looks familiar, and so does the view pictured in his Airbnb listing. If you still haven't figured it out by the time you get to the house rules, the top one on the list should be a giveaway:
''Do not, under any circumstances, put bloody socks in laundry.''
That's right, Fenway Park has joined the sharing economy, with its own Airbnb listing. But it's not so the Boston Red Sox can pick up a little extra cash as they stumble to their third last-place finish in four years. It's part of a one-night only contest with a prize hosted by Curt Schilling that includes two tickets to the Sept. 2 game against the New York Yankees.
And the contest isn't limited to just locals; one lucky fan and their guest will be flown in from anywhere in the country. After the game, the winner can sleep in a specially outfitted luxury suite, followed by breakfast atop the Green Monster.
But take care to heed those house rules, which, in addition to the bloody socks no-no, include "No horses on the field. (Sorry, Mo.)" and "Shaving is optional."
The contest is sponsored by the online room-rental service.
