McGregor Square, a mixed use project being built by the Colorado Rockies (and seen in the photograph above), will be opening soon, just in time for the start of the new baseball season. It is located adjacent to Denver's Coors Field, and will feature a boutique hotel, offices, condos, restaurants, a Colorado Rockies Museum, and retail stores, including the new downtown location for the Tattered Cover Bookstore. It will also have a large courtyard for ice skating in the winter, and a gathering spot for baseball fans during the summer. This is all well and good, but on the other hand, the almost $400 million dollars for this project is being spent on real estate instead of the ball team, which finished one game out of last place this past season - an actual improvement on previous years. As he does every year, owner Dick Monfort says that the team did poorly this past season due to injuries, and now that everyone is healthy, it will definitely be playoff contenders this year. And therefore - not surprisingly - the Rockies will once again not be making any major roster changes. Buy your World Series tickets now, Rockies fans!
