On a recent visit to Denver, Colorado, I was thrilled to find out that my hotel was just a few blocks from Coors Field. Having never been to the area, I had to swing by early one morning to take a few pics.
Later that day, a few colleagues let me know that they were planning on attending the Rockies-Giants game that night. For $16, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to check out another MLB stadium.
After a rather bizarre and convoluted ticket-purchasing process, we found our way to the upper deck, where we were afforded a beautiful view of the field, with the Rockies in the distance.
Colorado (8-26 at game time) and San Francisco (15-21) are last and next to last in the National League West standings, so the baseball itself was ... challenging. Featuring former Metsies Michael Conforto and Wilmer Flores, the Giants won easily, 5-0.
After a horrid hot dog and a large Coors (what else would they serve?), we somehow made it through seven innings. At that point, the temperature was 42 degrees and the wind was kicking in big, so we elected to call it an evening.
A beautiful park in a beautiful setting in a friendly city. I hope they eventually get the team they deserve.
