Coors Field changes & Additions
Changes: The smoking area over at Gate C is gone, reason is because whenever the wind blew hard it blew the smoke into those sections & it made the fans feel like they were in the smoking area so now the smoking areas left are the usual spots; gates E & D, Upper level, Mezzanine, Rockpile & in the Wells Fargo Club & Suite Level just ask an usher in those levels for directions to the smoking area there.
No Bags Gates: Entering the no bag gates in Coors Field with plastic sandwich bags is considered a bag, there for cannot go through the "No Bags" gates.
Additions: RocHenge is a new suite level added into Coors Field, there's the RocHenge conference center which can hold up to 40 to 400 people for business meetings & is connected to the RocHenge super suites can accommodate 36 to 60 after the meetings so you can catch the game, it features retractable glass walls for both field & concourse sides of the rooms.
Rockies Players Autograph Program: Brad Hawpe has joined Clint Hurdle, Troy Tulowitzki, Todd Helton & Garrett Atkins in the Rockies players autograph program, although all donations for Clint Hurdle should be made out to the Colorado Prader Willi Syndrome Association.
