Alternative viewing for the World Series

With the World Series now underway and the games at Coors field completely sold out, restaurants, theaters and groups all over town are hosting viewing parties to house the masses of Rockies fans.

For all of you that weren't lucky enough to score tickets, here is a run down of some of your viewing options.

  • The Stonehouse Grille
    Throughout the World Series they will be hosting ROCKTOBER parties with drink and food specials. They will have 10 HD Plasma/LCD TVs along with a 100” HD projection. They boast that it is "quite possibly the largest Old Town viewing of the 2007 World Series!"

  • Lyric Cinema Cafe
    This small, homey theater located on mountain avenue in Old Town will be showing all of the games on their 12' by 6' screen. The cinema sells beer, wine and an assortment of snacks and other beverages that can be brought into the theater. The theaters also feature old reclining movie seats and various comfortable couches and chairs in place of formal stadium seating. Lyric cinema urges Rockies fans to come ready to "get tastefully excited about the home team."

  • The Downtown Business Association
    The 3rd game of the World Series will be aired in Old Town Square, free of charge! Pre-game coverage will begin airing at 5 p.m. and the game begins at 6 p.m. The association encourages fans to wear “Rockies” colors and experience the stadium feeling from Old Town Square with bleachers, hotdogs, and the game on a 12 foot screen.
Whether you decide to stay home and watch from the comfort of your living room or come out to one of these or other viewing events, be sure to support the Rockies this weekend. The schedule for the remaining games is as follows:

- Game #2 – Thursday, October 25th
- Game #3 – Saturday, October 26th (Home)
