I’m not a religious person at all.
I can see why Stephen King chose the state to be the location of good in The Stand.
I spent most of my last week in awe of the Rocky Mountains and how great Denver was.
It’s an awesome place and I love it.
That will end the Colorado ball washing for this blog at least.
Or at least I’ll venture to dial it back the best that I can.
I now have Coors Field 3rd on the list of stadiums I’ve been to.
I only have Camden Yards and PNC Park in Pittsburgh ahead of it.
I haven’t been to every stadium (yet) but I have been to 17.
The sunset there is incredible.
The field makes for an interesting game to watch too.
Due to the altitude, they have the walls pushed pretty far back.
For example, it’s 415 to dead center.
Because of that, they have the largest playing field in baseball.
You see some crazy shit like backup catcher Jacob Stallings legging out a triple.
I have Coors Field ahead of those parks.
It has bigger concourses and is just a more comfortable place to be than Wrigley.
Wrigley feels more important but Coors Field is a more comfortable place to watch a game.
Older parks like Fenway and Wrigley lose more and more charm each time you go.
The purple ring around the seats is a cool element.
If you sit above those seats, you are a mile above sea level.
It’s the only place that can make that claim in the entire MLB.
There isn’t much bad to write about this place.
He was also incredibly unenthusiastic.
They’ve only won 84 or more games four times.
But even with that, they are doing their best.
They have these cool banners throughout the concourse honoring great Rockies moments.
I also liked the A-Z display in the club section.
They do need a team Hall of Fame and I think that could be really cool.
Start with Todd Helton and Larry Walker and then induct one player a year like the Patriots do.
You could even do a purple jacket for each
member.
With the care that went into the team history, I bet that day will come.
I really do love this park and Colorado as a whole.
Last year, my wife and I went to St. Thomas.
It was a perfectly fine trip last summer at a fine resort.
It was just…fine.
Coors Field really is a special place in a special place.
If you haven’t been and love baseball, it’s a must.
