Denver Mayor Michael Hancock nodded his head in satisfaction Wednesday morning as he stood on Coors Field’s north rooftop.
The city had just 13 weeks to prepare for the upcoming All-Star Game and its related activities. Hancock noted it takes most cities two years. It’s a milestone for the city and for Major League Baseball, and a hopeful end to a tumultuous year and a half.
“The summertime energy is back in Denver,” Hancock said.
Hancock was joined by Rockies President Greg Feasel, MLB’s Director of Events Jeremiah Yolkut, Regional Transportation District Chief Operations Officer Michael Ford and Visit Denver’s President and CEO Richard Sharf on Wednesday.
