  1. So Rockies fans, are you ready to March on the Monfort’s houses to demand they sell the team to some who wants to win? As long as the rubes keep putting butts in the seats nothing will change.
    The Rockies are the Monfort’s sole source of income and so they add party decks and fancier food & beer to keep the turnstiles moving rather than bringing in top players and management (which are ongoing expenses rather than one-time costs such as stadium ‘improvements’).
    Boycott ’til they sell! Get your craft beer and exotic snacks at some LoDo bar instead. Show that you’re fans rather than suckers.
