Too funny... I just got out of a hour long argument on whether the altitude at home games affects pitching. To those who thinks it makes no difference, I quote from the Colorado Rockies page itself: "...the ball ... travels 9 percent farther at 5,280 feet than at sea level. It is estimated that a home run hit 400 feet in sea-level Yankee Stadium would travel about 408 feet in Atlanta and as far as 440 feet in the Mile High City."
Ah, the good old internet.
Btw, anyone ever taken one of those official tours of Coors Field? Just wondering if it's worth the ticket price.

My wife and I took the tour last offseason, and we really liked it. It was nice to get a look at the luxury boxes, broadcast booth, and the visiting team clubhouse. I'd say it was worth the money, and I'd bet we'll take the tour again this year while we wait for next season to start.
Cool, thanks! It does sound neat... lots of photo opps, I'm sure. :)
