Red Sox v Rocks

Was at Coors Field last night for the Rockies 2-1 victory over the Red Sox. It was a well-played, drama-filled game.
One of the nice things about the game was the atmosphere in the ballpark. Rockies fans, by nature are pretty laid back and passive when it comes to cheering their team. Many times they need to be prompted by the scoreboard to "make noise."
Last night that wasn't the case. The vocal Red Sox fans got the Rockies fans dander up and it made for a loud ball yard with plenty of good natured give and take. Had it been a soccer game, there would likely have been a bunch of people carried out in body bags. Thankfully, American fans are civilized, unlike much of the world that follows soccer.
It was an East coast type of crowd last night and I hope Rockies fans learned that a loud, supportive crowd adds to the total baseball experience. I'm afraid though that when the Red Sox leave town and take their fans with them, Coors Field will once again become a nice, quiet place that people visit to socialize instead of getting into the game.
