Landing in Denver for the first game, when the Yankees players arrived at Coors Field, they saw a remarkable sight: even though today's visiting team was the renowned New York Yankees, with over 45,000 seats and a maximum capacity of 50,144, Coors Field was less than half full.
The sparse crowds scattered across the stands were like unsightly scars, telling the tale of the Colorado Rockies' struggles over the years.
There was a time when this team could make it to the World Series and cause significant trouble for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants in their division. However, after Arenado was sent to St. Louis and Blackmon gradually aged, this once powerful team lost its vigor and became a shadow of its former self.
Compared to the Rockies, who are beaten year after year, Denver residents now prefer to walk an extra mile to watch the Nuggets play at Ball Arena.
