This is Opening Weekend at Denver's Coors Field. But when I biked past the ballpark early yesterday evening, it seemed more like Dodger Stadium. What appeared to be several thousand non-social distancing Dodger fans marched toward the ballpark behind a banner celebrating their 2020 World Series championship, as seen in the photograph on the left. What I want to know is whether these fans traveled here from L.A. to see the game, or if they are simply some of the roughly 20 million Californians who have moved to Denver over the past couple of years?
When they reached the front of Coors Field, they held a sort of pep rally for their team, as seen in the photograph on the right, and then went into the ballpark. Considering their number, I have to wonder whether any Colorado Rockies fans - those that are still left, that is - were able to get tickets to the game? You do have to admire those Dodgers fan's enthusiasm, however. I also noticed that kind of passion among St. Louis Cardinals fans at bars and restaurants, back when I traveled to Columbia, Missouri for software training for the DU Bookstore. As for Denver fans, it is very telling that the lead sports story each night on all the local news programs concerns the Denver Broncos football team, no matter the time of year. Three months until draft day always beats out the baseball scores in this town. Sad.
