About 5 blocks from the stadium, the city set up a JumboTron in a park where fans could watch the game on a big-screen for free.
We watched them announce the starting lineup on the big screen, and indulged in a spicy hot dog with cream cheese. I added some saurkraut and 2 jalepenos, because 3 or more would have just been too much.
The JumboTron was right below the big clock tower on the 16th Street Mall.
After a while, we decided to walk to Coors Field. We found some brightly-colored cowboy-themed art to appreciate on the way.
Brandon and Koda just a few blocks from the stadium.
Koda taking in all the bright lights. Koda kept putting his paw up as to say, "Yo, I'm lookin' for one ticket- whooze got one ticket," in his Boston accent, until we finally reminded him that dogs aren't allowed inside the field.
Between ticket scalpers, potential scalp-ees, Halloween party-goers, and budding photographers like myself, there was quite a crowd gathered around the intersection in front of the stadium. Any time you go to a game, there are unofficial vendors outside selling food at a fraction of the price you'd pay once inside, so I bought some peanuts for $1. During a time when $10 parking is $40 and $5 Rockpile tickets are going for $500 on StubHub, it warmed my heart to note that they're still selling peanuts for just a buck.
Hot Dog: $2.50
Peanuts in a Ziplok bag: $1
Hearing the World Series announcer yell, "Play ball!" with the sound of the roaring crowd in the background: Priceless
