While most of Denver was at work all day, thousands spent April 6 drinking and enjoying the Colorado Rockies' home opener. Fans in purple flocked to the field, with many stopping into Blake Street Tavern one last time before it closes on April 9, after twenty years.

The Rockies won the first home game against the Washington Nationals 1-0, officially kicking off baseball season in Denver. The stand continues through the weekend at Coors Field.
