ILMOU Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) I know it's a weekday series, unfortunately, but I was wondering if any of you boyz might be heading out to beautiful Colorado next week? For those who haven't been, Coors Field is a terrific park with plenty of activity in the surrounding LoDo neighborhood. There's also no shortage of cool outdoor activities in the area, for families and everybody else. I live in Golden, which is one of the real garden-spots of the area, and a neat little town with the world's largest brewery. Despite being at the western edge of the metro-area, I'm a mere 20-25 minutes from being parked at Coors. I mention this because I have a buddy who can usually get me the employee rate at one of the nicer hotels in downtown Golden, for friends and family who visit from out of town. Essentially, the deal is $55 per night, tax included, for a 2 queen-bed room that goes for about $130+. I MAY be able to hook a sizable group up with such a deal. I'll be going to the Tuesday night (the 28th) and Thursday afternoon (the 30th) games. Other enticements in Golden include tubing on the river running through town (way cool), the Coors Brewery tour, and drink prices at the local dive reminiscent of rural Wisconsin, circa 1978. There's also a rather unique and high-quality golf course for you duffers out there. http://www.fossiltrace.com/ I realize now that I should've posted this weeks ago, but flights are cheap, or if you drive like I do, you can make it here in ~15 hours. It would be excellent to meet some of ya'll! Edited June 20, 2011 by Stan Bahnsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Won't be making it to Colorado for this series, but it is one of the states I am looking at as I search for an Elementary teaching job (just finished my degree in NY state and there is not much demand and a highly competitive job market). Have friends out there that are converted Rockies fans, I hope we take it to them (and all NL teams!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot7 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Going Tuesday. Previous trips all were rained out, so I'm hoping 3x the charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) I'll PM you guys and see what can be set up for the June 30, Thursday afternoon game. At this time, I'm going solo on the 30th and will be getting tix at or near the park. Being a weekday afternoon game, they'll likely be below face from scalpers, or we'll just get something at the window if we don't find what we want quickly. BTW, who can tell me how to get a photo in my sig? Thanks in advance. Edited June 20, 2011 by Stan Bahnsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Photobucket myself; but, if you don't use photos much, your Soxtalk ID has storage space available to it. Go to the How does this Work area and you'll see a thread from me on what to do.

SoxFan1 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Denver is an absolutely gorgeous city and Coors Field is a beautiful park. Was there for a week last month for lacrosse and I absolutely fell in love with that city. Caught a Rocks/Giants game and got to see CarGo vs Lincecum.

ILMOU Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Jimmy, Longshot, ElGonzo, Kevo, Parker, Bob, etc. Sounds like there'll be a few of us out there tonight, and for the series. I've got obligation for tonight's game, but I was wondering if any of you will be going to Thursday afternoon's game and want to meet for a soda beforehand. There's any number of sports bars in the immediate area that are pretty much the same, so let me suggest The Sports Column at 1930 Blake Street (stone's throw from home plate) at around 11:30-noon. I'll be wearing the red '71-'75 cap. I'm sitting in the WellsFargo club level tonight, but on Thursday, I'll be getting a ticket at the Park, or scalping something cheap just outside, which should be easy on a weekday afternoon. I'm posted this in each of our threads to make sure we see it. Don't know how to merge, sorry. Hope to see you Thursday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobryansson Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I was at the game tonight (and last night... and will be tomorrow...). Lots of White Sox hats anshirts and cheers. More fun tonight than last night. I enjoyed being around Sox fans, as I live in Colorado. Don't know about the meet-up tomorrow. My father-in-law is flying into Denver at 11:00. I am trying to talk my wife into going alone to get him, but I'm not likely to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
