One Week To Go!

Rockies fans entering Coors Field beneath the Evolution of the Ball.

One week from today will be the 2005 Rockies Home Opener.  Last year we had decided that we would no longer be able to use or sell 81 home games of season tickets and financially could not justify the expense of behind-home-plate lower-level seats.  We struggled all year with the thought of giving up our seats and our priority number that began when Major League Baseball arrived in Denver in 1993.

When the phone call came asking if we wished to renew and Bob said we simply were not able to use 81 games, the enterprising young man in the Rockies sales office suggested we buy season tickets in the outfield and trade them up for our regular seats--or nearby--for as many games as we chose.  We did.  We are now scheduled for 24 games in the same seats we've had for 11 years--plus 5 games that we are not able to trade--and we retained our priority number.

Next Monday on opening day we will be among those marching under the baseball sculpture above to our left field seats for Opening Day.  It's a win-win for us and for just 1/3 the cost. Only a baseball fan can understand the total optimism that permeates Opening Day.  This could be the year for the Rockies! Who knows?

I loved the rockies when they played at mile high. Only saw them once at Coors, but that is one beautiful park. Plus it made LoDo so cool

No need to tell you the passion with which Red Sox fans approach the sport. For that matter, Boston as a whole is a rather passionate sports town, whether it be baseball, football, basketball, or hockey.

I am glad you were able to work something out. I know how much you and Bob love your baseball.
