Coors Field — not the Rockies — is on some kind of roll:
The Rockies entered the weekend with a 37-59 record, including a losing mark at Coors . And yet a recent tidal wave of fans has the Rockies — or rather, the ballpark — averaging 32,313 fans per game, ranking 12th in the majors.
I started thinking about the phenomena the other day when I took Bonnie and Peaches for a hike at Red Rocks. We were climbing the stairs at the famed amphitheater when a family of six wanted me to stop so they could pet my golden retrievers. People always want to pet Bonnie and Peaches. I’m just background noise.“We went to Coors Field the other night for the Astros game,” the mom said. “What a great ballpark! Great energy, perfect night. We had a blast.
• Coors has drawn at least 36,000 fans in 14 consecutive games since June 23. The last time the ballpark drew 36,000 fans or more in 14 straight games was in 2001 when it drew at least 36,000 in 23 straight. At the beginning of the season, when the Rockies were 9-20 in March and April, hard-core fans consistently emailed me suggesting that I advocate for fans to boycott the team. I’m never going to do that. First, it’s not my place to tell fans how to spend their hard-earned money. Second, I would much rather cover games with fans in the stands than cover games in a mostly empty ballpark. Third, for the good of LoDo and the businesses around Coors, I want the ballpark to remain a vital attraction.
