I understand that the Denver Broncos are back in action but, if you haven’t noticed, the Colorado Rockies are in the middle of a pennant race and they really could use your help. The Rockies are in first place in the National League West by the slimmest of margins but, despite chasing their first-ever division title, the crowds have been sparse.
The Arizona Diamondbacks came into town on Monday night trailing the Rockies in the standings by 2.5 games but the announced attendance for the game was only 25,114. What was going on in Denver that was more important than the Rockies?
