Snow Blankets Coors Field Before DodgersRockies With Game Expected to Proceed

Targeted clearing let players stick to normal warmups despite a brief spring squall.

Overview

  • Snow coated the field, seats, and nearby streets at Coors Field before the DodgersRockies game.
  • Grounds crew used a tractor to clear the outfield, giving pitchers space to play catch.
  • Players leaned into the moment, with Emmet Sheehan trading snowballs with a team radio broadcaster and a snowman perched on the visiting dugout railing.
  • Fans staged a snowball fight outside the park as forecasts pointed to flurries easing before first pitch and temperatures in the low 30s.
  • The game was expected to go on as scheduled, a typical outcome in Denver spring storms when crews clear only what play requires.
