The Metrodome's right-field wall was composed of the 7-foot (2.1 m)-high fence around the whole outfield and a 16-foot (4.9 m)-high plastic wall extension in right field, known as the "Baggie", or the "Hefty Bag."
The seats above and behind the Baggie were home run territory; the Baggie itself was part of the outfield wall.
Fenway Park's "Green Monster", a comparable but taller feature, is 17 feet (5.2 m) closer to home plate than the Baggie was, so batters who hit short, high fly balls were not typically helped by it.
However, it was an attractive target for left-handed power hitters, and it was not uncommon for upper-deck home runs to be hit to the right field.
When in a rectangular configuration for football and other small-field events, the Baggie was taken down and the seats behind it extended to form complete lower-deck seating.
