And they won this game too!
That’s…kind of crazy
In some markets, 16k or less is a semi regular occurrence.
Not like the Rockies have always been world beaters.
Rockies fans, how do you do it?
Denver is a huge transplant city and opposing teams usually have a decently large crowd come out.
That’s why attendance is always high even when they are bad.
15k is the total of giveaways the Blue Jays give out and it runs out within minutes
The Twins attendance today has to be lower than this right? The announced was 12,569, but it looked like less than a tenth of that.
Rockies are gonna sell-out when Rocktober inevitably hits.
Nuggets game at the same time. That checks out
Too many wins in a short amount of time. The Rockies FO overcorrected in the offseason, and the fans just weren’t prepared.
It’s early in the season, and still too cold at high altitudes to be a good time. Makes sense the open-air bar doesn’t have the attendance it will in midsummer.
On the flip side:
@PatrickDLyons: “Opening weekend attendance at Coors Field for the Colorado Rockies was up 5,340 per game over the first three games of last season.
Only the two 2025 ALCS clubs – Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners – have experienced a higher increase in home attendance at this early stage”
Rockies, despite the team being seemingly genuinely improved, are drifting further and further from being perceived as a real sports team by Denverites, so it makes perfect sense that opening weekend, which is basically a party/holiday, drew a huge crowd but not a Monday evening game.
Also can’t ignore the fact that the drubbing the Rockies received garnered far more attention in town then their series win over the Blue Jays and win Sunday win over the Phillies. People think it’s the same old Rockies.
Even Rockies fans can only take so much
As someone who went to the Oakland coliseum when it was the end, I can tell you, there’s been games where more people were working than attending. Not sure how that factors into attendance.
I mean, it’s also a Monday night
That kaiju attacking downtown Denver right now probably had something to do with it.
Seriously, though, they’re not even in last place right now. They’re damn near .500.
Huh. Maybe they should figure out a way to entice fans to come to the stadium. Off the top of my head, that could be winning games or cheaper concessions or winning games or more family-friendly activities or winning games or, you know, winning games. Maybe just winning some games. But « free nacho night » might be a way to get people into the park for one night. I’d fly to Denver for free nachos.
As a sick fuck who watches this team way too much and spends way to much money on Coors Field since 2014, there’s been a lot of hype because we finally turned over our front office this year and it didn’t involve dicks friends. There’s been a buzz around town about being bad but on the right track.
1. Selling out opening day and getting crushed in the first inning didn’t do a whole lot of confidence boosting. People were booing the dropped ball in the sun by Moniak in the first
2. Nuggets were facing a Dame Lillardless Portland team in the midst of a playoff push for better seeding. The train traffic was packed after Ball Arena
3. I know a lot of loyal sick fucks just like myself. Denver is a sports town. If you build it. People will come. They couldn’t build it, so they built a bar for 3$ beers to keep their paper straight through 100 loss seasons.
4. It wasn’t that chilly tonight wtf? It was way windier and bitter on opening day. I think the disappointment of opening day plus other events caused this. I’ve always said it man, if this is a 90 loss team come august, they’ll fill the fucking seats. We’ve been waiting for a long time. If this team gets on the right track. They won’t sell 16k for years.
Cubs played the Guardians a couple days ago and I don’t think they hit 1600 people. They would have KILLED for 16k+
The Rockies count attendance including all presold suites, at full capacity. So you could knock that down to under 10k and it would be more accurate, another 2-3k for tickets sold but not used and it would be the most accurate
