And they had to do it in the rain and snow of mid-October Rockie Mountains.

This is possibly one of the dumbest things ever written. It gives them an ADVANTAGE over other teams who come from warm climates...like, say, the desert of Arizona. And the Rockies are the ones who were too dumb to build a dome, probably never expecting to actually play a meaningful role in baseball's postseason (which, given they're in the NL, it remains to be seen whether they will this year).

No outside sport will ever have a dome in Colorado. It's not a matter of smarts.. who cares if it affects the games, its what the fans here love.

I understand what you're saying, but nobody loves needing hot chocolate at a baseball game.

Maybe love is the wrong word.. but prefer it to the alternative of having a dome. It was very very cold during game 3.. we were all soaked.. but its part of the experience. It was awesome and everyone really enjoyed it. Maybe its because of the Broncos but fans here really thrive in that environment.
