Seeing them Coors Field in Denver is an excellent compromise. Seats just to the left of home plate were absolutely attainable.
The Colorado Rockies franchise is relatively young, only 15 years old. Their design of their expansive stadium has quirky touches appropriate for a team looking to endear themselves.
Wynkopp Street, which leads pedestrians from the heart of LoDo (Lower Downtown) to the stadium, is trimmed with baseball themed sidewalks and an asymmetrical arch which is a tribute to game balls.
Inside the park is another playful touch. A small pond, stocked with mallards, is tucked at the edge of the first base outfield.
When a home run is hit, the scoreboard lights up with the phrase, "Watch Out Ducks!"
