Fighter jets to fly over Fenway Park during Red Sox opening ceremony

BOSTON — The Red Sox are hosting the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday for Boston’s home opener at Fenway Park.

The historic ball Park will open the gates a little earlier than normal to get fans in for the Opening Day festivities. The gate will open two hours prior to the first pitch, which is a half-hour earlier than other regular-season games.

Don’t forget about the longtime tradition of a flyover on Opening Day which will be maintained with the four-aircraft flight, two F-35As and two F-15Cs.

The first pitch between the Red Sox and Orioles is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET.
