Coors Field Opening Day Size:8"x10" With cold temperatures and overcast

With cold temperatures and overcast skies I went looking for an image leading me up Lookout Mountain from Golden

just before the game I noticed the sun starting to drop behind the stands on the 3rd base side of the stadium

So on an evening where there were clear skies I headed out to photograph

With street construction in the area

Outside of the Colorado Convention Center is a Big Blue Bear looking inside the facility

Coors Field Opening Day Size:8"x10" With cold temperatures and overcastAt Coors Field there is a marker indicating the first game at Coors Field in 1995. For two year prior to this the Colorado Rockies played at Mile High Stadium which is now the location of the parking lot next to Sports Authority Field. The reason why the opening gate was late in 1995 is not to allow time for the stadium to be complete, but due to the late start of the 1995 as a result of the 1994 labor issues in MLB.
