With the pitch clock speeding up the pace of play, the Rockies are giving fans an extra inning to buy brews.
The Rockies will push back the cutoff on alcohol sales from the end of the seventh inning to the end of the eighth inning, the club announced Thursday. The change to the longstanding MLB policy is effective starting with the April 17 game against the Pirates, the beginning of the next home series at Coors Field.
“After monitoring the effects of the 2023 MLB rule changes at Coors Field and other ballparks across Major League Baseball, the Colorado Rockies will extend alcohol sales at Coors Field,” the club tweeted.
