MORRISON, CO – When Bol Bol got to the bottom of the steps at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, he looked up and his jaw immediately dropped. He turned to Monte Morris and asked if the group of Nuggets players on hand would have to run to the top. Morris grinned and emphatically nodded before yelling “EASY MONEY” seconds later.
The Red Rocks Amphitheater is one of the world’s most renowned music venues and a tourist attraction that welcomes over a million visitors a year. For the Nuggets, the 6,435-feet high concert hall represents something else: A rite of passage.
