Denver - Mile High Stadium (1993-1994)


Mile High is much more widely known as the home to Denver's NFL team, but for 2 years the Rockies played in this stadium. It held 72,000+ and the Rockies racked up some impressive attendance numbers drawing over 7.7 million fans in just under 2 seasons (2nd season was the strike). An interesting fact is that to convert the football field into a baseball diamond and back into a football field, the entire east stands (three tiers containing 21,000 seats) floated out to left field on a cushion of water, transforming a 100-yard football field into an asymmetrical baseball field.
