Learned via my friend's instagram story that the WHOOP is visible from probably a good percentage of seats at Fenway

For the 2022 Red Sox, they should change the sign to WHIFF.

Thanks for the update! The before pic for comparison. Also the link to the Epsilon report that started it all. For better or worse, this side of the square has been under construction for at least 5 years, I'm glad it's done. Although they still need to pave the street. And whats up with Related Beal not donating a glass canopy over the T entrance!!??

Backs of the buildings from 6/29. First the odd gray one.

Then this one with the 2 floors of glass above the gray exterior is the Whoops building.

Apparently they are going to change the location of the Citgo sign slightly. Going back in time, they should have just done this, and turned the Whoop building site into a 30+ story anchor tower for Kenmore (angled to ensure visibility of the sign). I would still be in favor of razing the current building, even though it's basically new, and putting up something that doesn't suck. Obviously that's not really feasible at the moment, but maybe/hopefully it will be replaced again within many of our lifetimes.

Moving the CITGO sign: Plans underway to relocate Boston landmark (slightly)

"We'll be replacing the white panels with new panels and then refurbishing the letters and logo and reinstalling it on the new location."
