After years and years of trying to figure out the why, we at ESNY may have an answer about the Colorado Rockies. We’ve pored over the data, run every scientific study we could, and came to a shockingly simple conclusion:
The Colorado Rockies are a Quadruple-A team. It’s not ideal, but at least they can afford to be. Coors Field is a nice enough ballpark that, win or lose, ownership expects to finish at least among the Top 10 in average attendance. Unfortunately for CEO and principal owner Dick Monfort, the fans are starting to notice.
