A giant, new scoreboard isn’t the only thing Rockies fans will notice when they go to Coors Field this season. There also will be protective netting extending to at least the far end of both dugouts.
On Thursday, Major League Baseball announced that all 30 big-league parks will feature the protective netting.
“Providing baseball fans with a variety of seating options when they come to the ballpark, including seats behind protective netting, is important,” commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “Major League clubs are constantly evaluating the coverage and design of their ballpark netting and I am pleased that they are providing fans an increased inventory of protected seats.
