Bags, Containers and Coolers. Bags must be 5"x9"x2" or smaller (the size of a small purse or clutch).
Fenway Park food policy
You are not able to bring your own food into the ballpark. You are free to bring in water, provided it is in bottles of less than 16 ounces, and not in a glass container or a can. Don't let this restriction alarm you.
Please note that you can only bring only soft-sided bags no larger than 5″x9″x2″. Backpacks, duffel bags, tote bags, oversized purses, and other similar style bags are NOT allowed.
Backpacks are no longer permitted. "Approved bags (purses, medical bags and diaper bags) can be no larger than 16" x 16" x 8" and will be subject to inspection upon entry in accordance with Major League Baseball security regulations.
Many ballparks give you the opportunity to bring your own food or snacks into the stadium to save money – unfortunately, that is “technically” not the case at Fenway. The rules state you can bring sealed bottles of water, 16 ounces or smaller. No glass, no cans, as always.
Fenway Park gates open 90 minutes prior to game time for all games. Get there early to enjoy all of the excitement! Red Sox Nation members with a valid game ticket are eligible to watch batting practice from atop the Green Monster 20 minutes before gates open.
When the Yankees come to town this weekend, introducing the $2 water bottle could make a splash across New England.
For day games I suggest either wearing a light cotton dress or comfortable shorts with sunglasses and a Red Sox baseball cap! When dressing for day games you should focus on finding pieces that are breathable because it gets hot! I pack a refreshing facial spray and sunscreen to combat the heat and sun exposure.

The short answer is yes, you can. The Red Sox allow you to bring in a 16*16*8 soft-sided bag, so long as it doesn't contain alcohol or potential projectiles. Nothing wrong with the Fenway Park food menu, but it's nice to save a few bucks, especially in Boston. That is more than enough Inner Beauty.
