The ancient structure had played home to decades of reporters and commentators, and it has hosted such diverse events as Harvard football games, Olympic soccer matches, and a Bob Marley concert. The aging 46-year-old press box provided almost no resistance to the encroaching flames. High winds made the fire difficult to control, and by the time the six-alarm response from local firefighters had tamed the blaze, the press box had suffered irreparable...
