For Debra Gow-Kennedy, working at Coors Field is a family affair. Both she and her husband are Aramark employees, the former a cashier and the latter a cook, while three more family members also work for the concession company at the stadium.
But with the major league season indefinitely postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gow-Kennedy and her family are struggling financially. As a few of approximately 800 full- and part-time Aramark employees who work at Coors Field, baseball’s shutdown has left Debra’s family without paychecks for the foreseeable future.
“We’re basically stuck between a rock and a hard place,” said Gow-Kennedy, 58, of Thornton.
