A bundled-up Lower Downtown Denver is coming alive Friday for the annual party to mark the Colorado Rockies home opener.
The chilly, gray day wasn’t keeping people from enjoying the scheduled return of baseball to the city, though crowds so far are lighter than in years past.
The area around Coors Field was bustling by noon as a light snow fell. The celebration is amplified by the fact that it’s the team’s 25th anniversary.
Fans clad in gloves, scarves and ski jackets were at least a dozen deep at the stadium’s home plate entrance waiting to get in two hours before first pitch.
