Coors Field, Denver

More photos to come shortly.
If you're going to drive from Cheyenne down to Denver to see a baseball game at Coors Field, the easiest hing to do, if it's just one or two of you, is to drive down about 50 miles to exit 223 (on I25), park in Wagon Road Park and ride (actually on some street named Melody), and take a bus the remaining 15 miles/15 minutes to the stadium. The bus takes you right there and right back.

It does cost - $4 each way. If you're with a group of people so you can split the cost of parking, you could go all the way in to town, but if you're don't want the culture shock between driving "downtown" Cheyenne, where there is no traffic and two one way roads in and out of the city, and Denver, which is five times and large and has twenty times as many people driving around on any given day.... take the bus!

Only soft sided bags allowed in the stadium. Interestingly, they had vendors outside selling discount food - peanuts and pop, about half the price of what was on offer inside.

There were also people selling tickets outside - not the normal ticket people, but "scalpers" - although I don't think that that's the right term since they seemed to be offering expensive tickets for cut rate prices. It must have been legal because they were walking around quite openly, holding up tickets fanned in their hands, and there were about 4 cops around - on the stadium side of the street, who would presumably have arrested them if they were breaking the law.

So if its just one or two of you....maybe try one of these folks. I'll be doing that when I return in a couple of weeks to see the Mariners play, all on my lonesome.
