One week ago today I posted a blog about the newly opened McGregor Square, a mixed use real estate development next to Denver's Coors Field. It was opening day weekend, and the central plaza was filled with fans having drinks and watching the Colorado Rockies play the LA Dodgers on the giant television screen. I went back there yesterday, and while the giant screen was showing the Rockies battle the Giants in San Francisco, as seen in the photograph above, the place was deserted - just two fans sitting on the small grassy berm, watching the game. I have to wonder if things will pick up during away games, once all the storefronts in the complex are open, or if fans will only show up during homestands. That is a mere 81 days. Those businesses in McGregor Square will have to generate a lot of bucks during those 81 days to make up for the slow times the rest of the year, if yesterday proves to be the norm. Only time will tell. I am sure glad that I have no dog in that particular fight.
