Coors Field attendees surprised to find out they were at a Colorado Rockies game

Posted on by

The Colorado Rockies are having a historically bad season on the field, posting their worst win percentage ever.

Yet, team ownership is still encouraged.

Despite the fact that the club has yet to even win 10 games on the season, the Rockies front office is looking at their home fan attendance, which is still surprisingly solid.

The Rockies are easily the worst team in Major League Baseball. They are already 13 games back in the National League West, and it is only early May. They have nothing whatsoever to feel good about. They are currently on pace to lose an insane 123 games this season.

So why are the Colorado Rockies still ranking 19th in fan attendance, with an average of 24,155 fans attending each home game?

It seems that the answer to this question is more complex than you may think.

Sure, Colorado fans are loyal. The Denver Broncos have sold out an NFL record 423 games in a row.

We also know that Coloradoans love Coors Field. It is one of the most beautiful parks in all of Major League Baseball. Attending a game in downtown Denver is truly a unique experience, with fabulous views and a number of stadium amenities.

One aspect of home attendance that we may have missed however, is the concept that many fans in the stands aren’t actually even baseball fans.

The Daly Dose recently spoke to fans as they were leaving the Rockies 8-2 loss to the Houston Astros and the answers as to why they continued to attend games were varied.

“Game? What game? We just went to a park to drink beer!” said Corey from Northglenn.

“There was a baseball game?” answered Rebecca from Lakewood. “I remember going up to the balcony and smoking a little, and then I had some green chile cheese fries and a giant pretzel. I literally had no idea they even played baseball at Coors Park.”

“I thought I was at Meow Wolf.” Todd from Westminster told us. “I had a few drinks, and we smoked a little, and then there was some crazy food. I think I ate some Doritos nachos out of a bag, and some kind of a Rocky Mountain oyster thing…whatever that is. And I might have been tripping, but I swear I kept seeing this weird purple dinosaur. So I know it wasn’t a baseball game. Nice try though. Grow up.”
