Rockies Win 10-7
Rockies Win 9-4
What an incredible stadium! We went to two games here and had good views from both seats. The outfield fountain and natural scene was very nice to see. Even the advertisements and giant scoreboard added to the park instead of being an eyesore. The fans were very friendly, but there was a good mix of Cubs' fans in the crowd. At first, I thought it was a good-sized crowd for the middle of the week, but I think many people traveled to Coors' Field to see the Cubs. Nevertheless, the fans were definitely into the game and cheered often. That was nice to see. The staff was also very friendly, in this day of abusive fans and such it was a nice change. I do have one concern however. Who was the marketing genius that allowed Bud and Bud Light to be sold in Coors' Field? That seems to shed a negative light on the Coors products.
Both games had their share of excitement, including many home runs. The first night had the Cubs blowing a 6-0 lead to lose 10-6. The fans were in the game throughout, even when the Rockies were trying to close the door on a 4-run lead in the 9th. I guess that once you have seen a few games in Coors Field, you know that a 6-run lead is not much. On the night of the May 23rd, 2000, I was the Power Bar Trivia champion, what an honor to hold. The game on the 24th was even more exciting. No one scored until the 4th inning, which is rare I'm sure. More home runs added thrills to the game, and it was topped off with the Cubs mounting a comeback in the top of the 9th. There was one out and the bases were loaded when the skies opened up and caused a one-hour rain delay. After the delay, the fans that stayed (mostly Cubs' fans) saw two strikeouts to finish the game. Colorado fans, you have a great stadium and friendly atmosphere, be proud!
