I took a trip to Coors Field recently to watch the much-heralded match-up of Esteban Loaiza vs. Jorge De La Rosa. While I was there, I decided that it was probably a good idea to snap some photos of my own; now I can quit "borrowing" other people's photos for the schedule wallpaper :) . Speaking of, I should have the May edition up by the end of the week; I apologize for the delay, but Finals/papers/projects had to take precedence over other things. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos I took, and don't be surprised if you see some again by the end of the week :)
I thought this was pretty cool; sometime between the Opening Weekend and now they added these markers to the upper deck concourse, marking 1 mile above sea level. Here's a wider shot:
When I first saw it, it underwhelmed me a lot, but it's growing on me. Looks right pretty up there :) .
Snagged this off the intro video on the jumbotron.
Check out De La Rosa's ERA. I took this a bit too late, so I couldn't catch it when his ERA was 108.00. The first inning wasn't good.
The view from my seats.
Check it out, the random truck now has a distance behind it. I thought it was cool.
The Purple Row.
And finally the Coors Field entrance sign.

I love Coors Field
And LoDo. I’m going to a game on the 17th…I’m really excited. and kind of terrified. Let’s just hope they improve between now and then.

about those Mile markers
I think those have been there since 2000 or 2005 cuzz I remember seeing them every time I made my way up to the 3rd level before the game started.

Huh
I distinctly remember NOT seeing them in any games in 06 or 07, when I only had seats in the upper deck. I suppose I could’ve just missed them, of course. Thanks for correcting me.
