All-Star Game fell short for businesses Promised crowds didn’t quite live up to hopeful hype BY SARAH MULHOLLAND DENVERITE
Disparate toll is similar to other studies of health and financial status
Business owners in Denver are combing over their receipts now that Major League Baseball’s AllStar Game has come and gone. The early returns indicate that the event might have fallen short of expectations set by three months of hype. “Overall, it was better than most weekends … (but) to the extent that everyone was hoping, it wasn’t really there,” said Erik Riggs, owner of Freshcraft, a casual restaurant specializing in craft beers about a 10-minute walk from Coors Field. State and city officials said the economic impact could be between $100 million and $190 million when it was announced in April that Major League Baseball was moving the All-Star Game to SEE ALL-STAR, P15

This could explain why people who frequent Denver’s City Park have become accustomed to seeing bald eagles in the area. “We know that our population of eagles has increased in this area,” said Reesa Conrey, an avian researcher with CPW. “And we know that our population of humans is also increasingly very rapidly.” CPW is embarking on a four-year study to learn why these eagles — the national bird of the United
Consider, for a moment, two neighborhoods in Denver: Platt Park and Westwood. Both are in the southern half of the city, separated by a two-mile drive along Mississippi Avenue over the railroad tracks. Both are home to lots of young families. And both, of course, are 16 months into weathering the coronavirus pandemic. But, according to a new report by a respected Colorado health policy think tank, the two neighborhoods have had dramatically different experiences with the virus. Westwood, where 90% of residents identify as non-white and many are low-income, has some of the highest rates of coronavirus cases of any neighborhood along the Front Range in the new study from the Colorado Health Institute. Platt Park — mostly white and relatively affluent — has some of the lowest. The bracing disparity reinforces what researchers and public health authorities have seen throughout the pandemic: Coronavirus hasn’t hit everyone equally. “People with the means to avoid risky situations and to work at home were more successful at avoiding COVID-19, while their less affluent neighbors — literally across the

Study focuses on bald eagle boom Front Range corridor includes nests of birds once rare in the state BY KYLE COOKE AND CLARISSA GUY ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
It’s no secret that the human population on Colorado’s Front Range is expanding. State officials predict that in the 10-year range from 2019 to 2029, Colorado will

grow by more than 800,000 people, with about 87% of them settling in the Front Range. More perplexing, however, is that another population is growing in that same densely populated urban corridor: bald eagles. According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the whole state of Colorado had just three known bald eagle nests by the end of the 1970s. Today, the state is home to more than 200 nests — some in “unconventional” locations, like the Front Range.

Plan aims to ease path to early childhood teaching CU-Denver gets grant as part of project to make degree programs more accessible BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO
The University of Colorado-Denver is launching a statewide effort to make it easier for new and existing early childhood teachers to earn college degrees. The university won a $2.3 million grant from a funders group called the Early Educator Investment Collaborative to bring together a coalition of university, community college, and state leaders over the next 2 1/2 years. The kickoff meeting was held at the beginning of July. The effort unfolds at a pivotal time in Colorado, with planning for a new early childhood agency and a statefunded universal preschool program underway. It also comes amid a pandemic that spotlighted the importance of early childhood teachers, but also the low pay and long hours that can put college classes out of reach for many of them. Kristie Kauerz, the director of CU Denver’s National P-3 Center, said research increasingly indicates that a college degree, especially one focused on early childhood, boosts education quality for young children. College degrees also bolster
the early childhood workforce’s argument for higher wages, she said. The grant project aims to make Colorado’s degree programs more accessible to early childhood teachers, ensure that the curriculum offered is high quality and culturally relevant, and institute policy reforms to help sustain improvements long-term. In Colorado, there are a variety of ways to become an early childhood teacher, ranging from earning a two-year or four-year degree to taking various non-college training courses. But Kauerz said noncollege trainings often must be repeated every few years and don’t earn teachers college credit. “It’s just this hamster wheel of taking professional learning but it never actually builds to a degree,” she said. Still, Kauerz said it’s often inconvenient and difficult for early childhood teachers to earn a degree. “You’re in a classroom (teaching) for 10 hours a day and then you’re supposed to go to class on a campus?” With this grant, she said, “Higher ed is saying we’re willing to change how we make degrees available to teachers.” Besides CU-Denver, higher education participants in the project include Metropolitan State University of Denver, the University of Northern Colorado, the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, and the state’s community college system. Representatives from the state’s education department, higher edu-

cation department, office of early childhood, Early Childhood Leadership Commission, and governor’s office will also participate. The grant will pay for a new position at the Colorado Department of Higher Education: the director of early childhood education workforce policy. Sondra Ranum, who previously worked at Teach for America Colorado and the Colorado Department of Education, started in that role July 6. Kauerz said the grant will also pay for “success coaches” who will advise students seeking early childhood degrees at participating colleges and universities.
CU-Denver was among six recipients nationwide to receive a grant from the Early Educator Investment Collaborative to improve early childhood teacher preparation systems. The collaborative consists of eight foundations, including the Bezos Family Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. (Both foundations are funders of Chalkbeat.)

Colorado gets first Latina state historian BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
Colorado State Historian is a position that has been around for almost 100 years, dating back to 1924. On Aug. 1 — also known as Colorado Day, celebrating the date when the state joined the Union — Nicki Gonzales will begin her one-year term as the official state historian. Gonzales Nearly 22% of Coloradans are Hispanic or Latino, and despite the state historian position being around for nearly a century, Gonzales is the first Latino person to be named state historian. Gonzales is a professor of history and vice provost for diversity and inclusion at Regis University. A mother of two sons, Gonzales is based in Denver, but her family has “deep roots” in Southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, according to History Colorado. Gonzales also part of History Colorado’s State Historian’s Council, which the state historian leads. “History is one of the most effective ways we can understand ourselves and our present moment,” Gonzales said in a statement. “I’d like to see more unrecognized stories shared publicly so we can arrive at a truer sense of where we’ve been and who
we are.” History Colorado said Gonzales is interested in researching Southern Colorado’s land grant movements as well as the experiences of Chicano Vietnam Veterans. She also served as an advisor for the History Colorado exhibit “El Movimiento: The Chicano Movement in Colorado.” “Gonzales’ historical expertise focuses on Chicano history and Southwest social and political movements,” History Colorado wrote in a statement. “She plans to incorporate youth in the exploration of Colorado’s past during her term as state historian, and to support more inclusive practices of historical inquiry. “In doing so, Gonzales is eager to raise more awareness about historical events with significant contemporary legacies, such as the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, about which History Colorado is currently collaborating with tribal partners to present a long-term exhibition,” the organization’s statement added. Gonzales succeeds Duane Vandenbuscha professor of history at Western Colorado University in Gunnison, as the Colorado state historian.

S
ome of you might remember radio broadcaster Paul Harvey. He always ended his daily program with two words. “Good day.” Hippies turned that into “Have a nice day.” Then “Have a good day” came along. Then “Have a good rest of the day.” And now, as I live and breathe, “Have a great rest of the day” was wished upon me at a hardware store by a young woman who said the same thing to the customer ahead of me and the one that followed me. I felt special knowing she had composed that thought just for the three of us. Whatever happened to “Thank you”? “Have a great rest of the day,” if examined, broken down, analyzed, borders on a command and practically chokes on its own hyperbole. Waiting around the bend is “Have a mind-blowing rest of the day,” and “Have an out-of-this-world rest of the day.” I thought about asking the young woman if she was referring to my afternoon nap, but decided she wouldn’t get it. In other words, my “rest” of the day. We do like to exaggerate, don’t we? For a while, I was receiving emails from someone who ended every sentence with

But at the time, I also remember wishing I could be going on the vacations that my friends were going on. Even if they came to the same area, they were staying at a much bigger home or nice hotel. Did I mention that they had air conditioning in those nicer homes and hotel rooms? Yes, not only did I want to be my friends, but I wanted their air conditioning too. I think “Thou shalt not covet your friend’s air conditioning” may even be a commandment. Still, looking back on it today, I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. The quote by Zig Ziglar that started this column is something that I learned from him many years ago. And it helped me to really focus on being the best “me” in existence. It helped me to measure success on my own terms, not defined or measured by others. If I didn’t like who I was, where I was, or what I was doing, I learned that I didn’t have to sit back and wish I could be someone else or have what others have, I could change who I was and what I was doing and go out and earn what it was that I wanted. Another lesson I learned that has really helped me and that I have shared with others is this: Instead of looking on in envy or jealousy when someone in our family or circle of friends has just met with success or seems to be doing better than we are,

an interruption, annoyance, nuisance or exasperation. Ten days after the Fourth, some of my beloved neighbors were still shooting off fireworks. Maybe if I were in a home with Harry next to a lake with the regional birds filling the air with song, I might have a great rest of the day. But here in the trenches it’s a project just getting to that hardware store and back without witnessing a near accident or being involved in one. As I have said before, there’s a major intersection near me where you can always pick up some spare automobile parts. Henry David Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days at Walden Pond in a 15-by-10-foot cabin he built for himself. Good for him. But he was eaten up by mosquitoes and was constipated half the time. Harry just walked into the office with a familiar look on his face. It’s time for our rest of the day.

Anyone else but me
ou will make a lousy anybody else, but you will be the best ‘you’ in existence.” — Zig Ziglar Many of us daydream or fantasize about being someone else. Did you ever look at someone else’s life and wish that you could have their physique, home, money, car or job? I think at some point in life, maybe we have all entertained thoughts about being someone different or having something that we did not already own. Some of us may have only had a fleeting moment of daydreaming or fantasizing about this. Others of us may spend way too much time coveting what others have. A few of us may even become consumed with an imaginary life lived as someone else. We drift away, wanting to be anyone else but ourselves, or trade what we have for what other people have. When I was a kid, we vacationed at the Jersey Shore. It was typically in a very small bungalow with lots of other family members and friends popping in and out during the week. It was cramped, usually just one bathroom, and people sleeping on every bed, couch, cot and surface area of the tiny house. I look back on those weeks with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins and remember them as some of the best vacations of my life.

at least three exclamation marks. When I informed her that I couldn’t take it any longer, well, she replied with three words and thirty exclamation marks. The recent All-Star baseball game in Denver was a bore, but the hoopla that went on before, during and after it made up for a sport that, sadly, has become a stranger to me. It’s all home runs and strikeouts. The Dodgers hit eight home runs in a game against the Diamondbacks. That’s Little League stuff. Subtlety is a lost art. Art is a lost art. Look for the grand opening of Meow Wolf in downtown Denver. It’s “interactive art for all ages.” We used to call those “fun houses” at the circus. Interactive means the art doesn’t just stay there on the wall and mind its own business like a Picasso or a Rembrandt. It jumps around or jumps at you and makes your head spin. Just what I’m looking for. Let’s get back to “Have a great rest of the day.” I’d settled for ten great minutes. Modern life doesn’t allow (me) to have up to twelve hours that are unbroken by

try congratulating them, sharing in their joy and excitement. Even if it is a perfect stranger who just won the lottery, we can allow our hearts to be happy for them, truly happy. The thing is this: Sometimes what we see on the outside is not what is really happening on the inside. The people we fantasize about being may have more troubles and heartache going on in their life than we can see. The possessions they have may come with extraordinary debt. So, before we look to be someone else, or have what they have, the better move is to appreciate who we are and what we have already. And if change is needed, we can go work on what it is that we need to change. We all have a choice to make. We can change and grow, breaking the status quo if we are unhappy. Or we can simply choose to continue as-is, wishing we were anyone else but ourselves, and do nothing. I would love to hear your best “you” in existence story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when you realize that you are the best “you” in existence, it really will be a better than good year.

Pickleball’s on an upswing Participation spiked during pandemic year BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
hen pickleball started becoming popular, it was a sport that helped aging adults get some exercise by combining aspects of tennis, badminton and table tennis onto one court. Today, the sport remains popular damong seniors, but the secret is out about how much fun the game is, and younger generations want a taste. According to the Sport and Fitness Industry Association, pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the nation, with participation increasing a little over 21% in 2020 as Americans searched for ways to stay active during the pandemic. In 2019, participation in the sport grew by 7%. Evidence of the growing popularity of pickleball is not hard to find throughout the Denver metro area. A new court is being installed on the east side of Centennial in Piney Creek. In Castle Rock, the new Cobblestone Park project will include six additional pickleball courts. Luke Ruter, recreation coordinator for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said one of the biggest challenges as pickleball grows in popularity is keeping up with demand. “It really is a great sport for all ages,” he said. “It is also such a social sport where friendships grow and connections are made.” In Highlands Ranch, on any given day, the distinct popping sound of paddle hitting ball can be heard as players of all ages battle it out. While taking a break during one of the hottest days of summer, 19-yearold Heidi Haze said she is considered a newbie to pickleball. “I started playing with a friend,” she said. “It looked cool and definitely has a lot more college kids playing. I have to say, the seniors have a lot to teach us. They are way better. It is like golf. It is easy to play, but hard to get good at.” Will Harris of Littleton said he saw

people playing at local courts and became interested. Now, he is a regular who is open to learning the tricks of the trade from older players. Harris said he has learned a lot from Joe Billera, whom he calls his “pickleball grandpa.” “I love the community connection I have gained by playing up here,” Harris said. “It is because of pickleball that I got a job. I would say I am a decent player, but there is always room for improvement. I just try to hold my own against the longtime players.” Billera said he plays every day because he enjoys the game, comparing the necessary skill set to playing chess with a lot of motion. The Apex Sports and Recreation Centers have worked over the years to help meet the demand of the growing sport. Headquartered in Arvada, the Apex Park and Recreation District has 24 courts throughout the area. Katie Groke, marketing and communications director for Apex, said the courts are full and there is a “growing appetite” for the sport. “Arvada has kind of become a pickleball hub because we have so many courts and draw residents from all over the region,” Groke said. “It has really become a wildly popular sport for all ages.” Brad Stafford, athletics manager for South Suburban Parks and Recreation, said as younger players take

up the sport, they are adding more tournaments and classes. The classes are always at maximum capacity, he said, while noting that the problem is getting qualified instructors. “This is such a specialized sport with certain rules that it is hard to find people to teach it,” he said. In 2019, Stafford said, classes had about 80 participants. After last year, classes and programs have more than 200. “The secret is out on this sport,” Stafford said. “It’s a sport you can easily play, find your skill level and always have plenty of players to com-
pete against. No matter what age, it is a sport you pick up quickly, get exercise and it’s a lot of fun.” Phyllis Tumey, a retired resident of Castle Rock, said she first learned about the sport from a friend who had played at a retirement community in Arizona. After learning how to play, Tumey said, she immediately loved it. In 2012, Tumey said, there were not a lot of courts in Castle Rock, but a growing number of seniors wanted to play. Tumey said she and another resident worked with the town to turn more tennis courts and in-line skating rinks into pickleball courts. Tumey said fellow player Jim Johnson took the lead on making pickleball a regular attraction in Castle Rock. Now, the town has seven permanent pickleball courts with others under construction. “At first I couldn’t believe it was such a fast-growing sport,” Tumey said. “It is easy for seniors to get outside and get some exercise. You can play a game in 30 minutes, and it does not require a lot of equipment. Really, it is supposed to be a noncontact sport, but we’ve had some run-ins with it becoming so competitive.” As pickleball’s popularity has grown, it is now featured in televised tournaments, and there are efforts to make it an official Olympic sport.

tracks in this case — suffered the brunt of the pandemic,” the institute writes in its report. Among all the information regularly published about the pandemic’s impacts in the state, the Colorado Health Institute report is unique in that it uses data from a system called the Colorado Health Observation Regional Data Service. This service allows researchers to examine data taken straight from patients’ medical records. The data is aggregated and de-identified, meaning it cannot be used to reveal personal medical information. The service, known as CHORDS, mostly covers the Denver metro area, with some reporting from Larimer and Weld counties. Overall, it captures information from about a quarter of the population in the areas it covers — so the numbers in the Health Institute’s report should be thought of as a representative sample rather than as a comprehensive accounting, said Joe Hanel, a spokesperson for the Colorado Health Institute. What’s more, because CHORDS has data only on people who sought treatment for COVID-19, the Health Institute report doesn’t track where all infections occurred, just the ones that resulted in the most serious
MAP BY COLORADO HEALTH INSTITUTE
illnesses. But the new report aligns with what Denver officials have been reporting for months on their own COVID-19 data dashboard. And it captures persistent inequalities that show up in all kinds of measurements of health and opportunity in the city. Tracing the ‘inverted L’ The Colorado Health Institute mapped the findings of its study, revealing a familiar pattern in Denver: One cluster of high coronavirus rates runs up Federal Boulevard; another follows Interstate 70, with the exception of the Central Park neighborhood, formerly known as Stapleton. This is the “inverted L,” and the neighborhoods that sit within it all tend to be lower-income and more diverse — and also to fare worse in various socioeconomic measures, as the news site Denverite has reported. For instance, the L shows up when looking at rates of education or tree cover. Dr. Judy Shlay, a family physician and the associate director of Denver Public Health, said it would show up if you are looking at diabetes rates or other measures of health. It shows up in life expectancy. “All sorts of different health outcomes tend to be worse in these areas,” Hanel said. “These are areas where COVID-19 was also a lot more pronounced.” Westwood, which lies west of Federal Boulevard, is on
the inverted L’s path. Platt Park is not. The Colorado Health Institute study found that people living in Westwood had coronavirus infection rates more than double the average of all the neighborhoods included in the study. Infection rates for residents of Platt Park were about a third of the average. Similarly, data from Denver Public Health shows that residents of Westwood had one of the highest COVID-19 hospitalization rates in the city, while residents of Platt Park had one of the lowest. The rate in Westwood is 12.7 hospitalizations for every 1,000 residents — more than eight times the rate in Platt Park. To Shlay, there are a number of reasons why coronavirus might have hit Westwood harder. Faced with an affordable housing crisis, multiple generations of families may live under one roof, creating the kind of high-density settings where coronavirus thrives. People in lower-income areas may be less able to work from home, putting them in the virus’ path out in public. In communities with higher rates of people who don’t speak English, such as Westwood, language may pose a barrier to accessing health care or getting good information. “If you don’t have resources in the community and there’s longstanding inequities, when a pandemic comes
up, you’re going to see it,” Shlay said. Hanel said these patterns of inequity don’t just show up in Denver. In the Colorado Health Institute’s analysis, they also were evident in parts of Adams and Weld counties. Achieving vaccine equity Worryingly, the inverted L also shows up in Denver data on vaccination rates. But here Shlay is optimistic. Earlier this year, Denver showed a broad disparity between neighborhoods like Westwood and ones like Platt Park. Today, that disparity still exists, but it is smaller. According to Denver’s data, 63% of eligible people in Westwood have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. In Platt Park, it’s 88%, with several other wealthier Denver neighborhoods at 90% or above. “While it’s not perfect, we are definitely better than where we were a month ago, two months ago,” Shaly said. Denver also continues to show a big racial gap in vaccination rates. According to data from the Colorado Immunization Information System, 76% of eligible white Denver residents have received at least one vaccine dose, compared with about 40% of eligible Hispanic residents. Shlay said part of that gap might actually be a data error — Hispanic residents being classified inaccurately in the immunization system
or declining to state their ethnicity. But she acknowledged that there’s a lot more work to be done, even as she said she is proud of all the work the city and other groups have already done. The biggest challenge, she said, may not be overcoming vaccine skepticism but rather addressing vaccine convenience. People who work long hours with no opportunity to miss work or duck out during the day just may not have had time to get vaccinated, she said. But, here, there is another challenge in neighborhoods on the inverted L. She described Denver Public Health’s efforts to set up a consistent vaccine clinic in the city’s East Colfax neighborhood, which sits on the city’s border with Aurora. Normally, that would take place at a fire station or a police station, a recreation center or a library. East Colfax has none of those. The pandemic, she said, has pointed out why that needs to change. “We need to now use what happened in COVID,” she said, “to really dive in and address those inequities.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

EAGLES FROM PAGE 1
States — are settling in urban areas that are often disrupted by construction and other human activity. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies also are participating in the study, which will be the “most comprehensive bald eagle monitoring project ever done by CPW,” according to a news release. According to CPW officials, Colorado’s eagle population declined in the mid-20th century due to human disturbance, loss of habitat, and DDT, a pesticide that poisoned the birds and made their egg shells extra thin. The egg shells “often broke during incubation or otherwise failed to hatch,” according to the USFWS. DDT was banned in 1972, and the eagle population nationwide rebounded as a result to the point that in 2007, the iconic birds were removed from the endangered species list. (Eagles are still protected under both the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.) Despite all the development on the Front Range since the 1970s, the state has also made it an easier place to settle with the construction of reservoirs. The first bald eagle nest in the Front Range was established in Barr Lake State Park in Adams County in 1986, Conrey said. Storms destroyed that nest and six others over the course of many years, including a nest in 2021. The eagles are currently rebuilding their nests at Barr Lake. For this research project, CPW is using GPS transmitters to track the eagles in the northern Front Range. According to CPW, “results from the monitoring effort will be used to model the bald eagle population trajectory and expected impacts of predicted future land use change. Biologists will then make data-driven recommendations on minimizing and mitigating disturbances of the bald eagle’s environment essential to its survival.” Researchers hope the data will help them identify ways to preserve and develop ideal eagle habitat in

urban areas as well as better understand the birds’ tolerance to human activity. Conrey said she also hopes the results will help the state give “better recommendations to developers, consultants (and) the general public to make sure that eagles are being managed properly and will continue to be successful here.” This story is from Rocky Mountain PBS, a nonprofit public broadcaster providing community stories across Colorado over the air and online.

Western Heritage Welcome kicks off festive weekend STAFF REPORT
Castle Rock’s Western heritage is alive and well. The town is set to celebrate during a weekend packed with activities, starting with the Friday-evening Western Heritage Welcome. Western Heritage Welcome honors a time when large herds of cattle were driven through downtown Castle Rock. Cowboys and city folk alike are invited to join the celebration from 6 to 9 p.m. July 30. Starting at 6 p.m., watch as cowhands drive a herd of longhorn cattle from Rock Park, down Perry Street, and into a corral near Festival Park. Residents are invited to grab a seat along Perry Street. Find a map of the best viewing locations at CRgov.com/WesternHeritage. Following the cattle drive, visitors can go to Festival Park for a variety of Western-themed activities including food, cocktails, old-time photos, crafts and more. Plus, the Park County Regulators, a team of Old West reenactment actors, will perform a Wild West show around 6:45 p.m. Please be advised the
actors will be using blank ammunition during their performance that will create a loud noise. Starting at 5 a.m., parking will not be available on Perry Street. Parking will also be closed at Rock Park. At 4:30 p.m., Perry Street will be closed from Scott to South streets. Visitors must stay behind the protective barriers along Perry Street. The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo, running July 31 through Aug. 8, picks up where Western Heritage Welcome leaves off. Fair tickets are available at douglascountyfairandrodeo.com. The fair celebration begins with a Saturday-morning event — the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Parade at 9:30 a.m. on July 31. The old-fashioned parade starts on the south end of town and continues through downtown. Following the parade, join an old-fashioned themed fair at Boots and Brews. The festival will have food trucks, beer and live music in Festival Park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Get all the details at CRgov.com/ WesternHeritage.

ALL-STAR FROM PAGE 1
Denver after an uproar over voting laws in Georgia. The July 13 game was billed as Denver’s coming-out party after pandemic restrictions shut much of the city down for more than a year. Streets around Coors Field were closed to make way for partiers, and there were five days of activities throughout Denver to mark the occasion. There is no doubt the game drew many thousands of people to the sidewalks of LoDo, and it will take some time to fully calculate the economic impact. But at least one data point suggests the crowds weren’t as big as expected. A report from the Downtown Denver Partnership shows that the weekend preceding the Fourth of July drew more foot traffic to the area than the All-Star Game. More than 250,000 people were walking around each day during the holiday weekend, compared to 230,000 on July 13, the day of the All-Star game, the data show. Downtown boosters say the numbers are encouraging.
“People are returning downtown, returning to their city, remembering what they love so much about what a city has to offer them … whether it’s over Fourth of July weekend, during MLB All Star festivities or whether it’s just a normal weekend downtown, ” said Britt Diehl, a senior manager at the Downtown Denver Partnership. A spokesperson for Denver’s department of Economic Development & Opportunity said insight on the direct impact of the All-Star Game will be available in August or September through sales tax collections, adding that the city doesn’t plan to conduct a formal economic impact study. Businesses saw different traffic patterns depending on their proximity to Coors Field. Riggs of Freshcraft saw the biggest crowds during the weekend leading up to the game, including a group of several dozen that worked for Major League Baseball. But business largely dried up on July 12 once the Home Run Derby got underway, he said. At Jackson’s LoDo, a pre-game drinking spot directly across from Coors Field, the crowds were bigger on July 12 and 13, according to
Andrew Herber, the bar’s service manager. But even in such a prime location, it wasn’t as busy as Herber had expected. “I thought it was going to be a little bit more like Opening Day, which wasn’t the case. But it was still a really good turnout,” he said. Meghan Steele, a bartender at the nearby Giggling Grizzly, was also hoping for a multiday celebration akin to a Rockies home opener. “We thought it would be packed from 11 a.m. on, and it’s been like a slow burn,” Steele said the day of the All-Star game. Steele lamented that All-Star fans must be more interested in watching the game. “What we realized is that the people going to the All-Star game are really dedicated baseball fans that wanted to be here to see the players, to be part of that … more so than the drinking before or after,” she said. Riggs of Freshcraft agrees. “If you spend $500 to go to the Home Run Derby, you’re not going to show up halfway through,” he said. In fact, Riggs said, there seemed to be more people downtown to see the Los Angeles Dodgers play
‘I thought it was going to be a little bit more like Opening Day, which wasn’t the case.’ Andrew Herber, service manager at Jackson’s LoDo the Rockies the weekend after the All-Star Game. His bar was full at 3 p.m., he said. Maybe it’s simply the makeup of the hometown fans. “The Rockies are the Rockies — they’re not good,” Riggs said. “Most people going to Rockies games don’t care if they get there in the third inning.” This story is from Denverite, a nonprofit Denver news source affiliated with CPR News.
