Just before the Colorado Rockies began their baseball season this year at Coors Field here in Denver, the local television news programs did some feature stories about what's new at the ballpark, including new food items, enhanced seting options, and the fact that Coors Field sells the cheapest beer in the major leagues. They claim there is beer for sale for $3 at the park. I would sure as hell like to know where. You must need to have inside information and be given a secret password to gain access to that bargain. There was also a story about The Sandlot Brewery, which is not new, but featured anyway. This is a brewpub at the park that is owned by Coors and features microbeers, including Blue Moon Belgian White. When Coors Field first opened, the Sandlot Brewery was open to the public on non-game days. As Opening Day approached, it was fun to go there, have a beer, and look at the field through the windows, anxiously awaiting the start of another baseball season. Not any more - it is now open only during games to ticketholders only. Still another fun thing to do gone. Considering the Rockies' horrible start this year, perhaps it is all for the best. And yes, the above photograph was taken many years ago just before a long forgotten Opening Day.
