The Denver Metropolitan Major League Baseball Stadium District with a seven-word title must be a powerful political entity in the Denver metro area. The very exciting recent performance of the Rockies must have been a disturbing distraction to those sitting in Club Level Section 222 in their viewing of the mountains seen through their “view plane”! (“Bullied by the majority,” On Point, Oct. 16.)
The district’s irrational, preposterous idea to limit buildings to 72 feet in height in the general area of Coors Field and Union station and deprive the business owners Bill and Paula Leake and others of their property rights is unreasonable, illogical and unfair.
The Denver City Council would not approve of such a weird proposition, I hope, trust and believe.

There is nothing unfair about the limiting of building hiegth. Denver for years has limited the sizr of buildings forceing expansion lateraly up and down the front range.

It keeps all activist employed. Those who want to limit the urban sprawl get to complaign and those who want a view of the mountains get to argue.

It results in Denver as a city annexing more land and raising thier tax base geographically as well as fincially.

Denver has never had a plan on growth or a viable concept as to growing with the population.

This is not complicated. The Rockies are richer and higher profile than the Leakes, therefore they win. This is America - the richest and most powerful get priority - get over it.

denver is showing it is still just an over grown cow town

***SNORE***

Are they going to limit building height on Bryant, Clay and Decatur also? This smells of a political issue.

As their recent treatment of the fans confirm, the Rockies don't give a crap about you, your views, your comfort, your entertainment, the future of the city, the rest of the world's impression of Colorado or Denver, civic philanthopy, or anything else that isn't green with a dead President on one side and "In God we Trust" on the other side.

I'm surprised their "spokesman" Jay Alves, a recent graduate of the Airline School of Customer Service, hasn't logged on and shouted for you to "CALM DOWN" then blamed the mountains for putting themselves in the direct line of vision of people on the top row of the ballpark...or blamed a conspiracy of view pirates....or blamed aliens from the planet galactor...

I'm sure an equally plausible explanation is forthcoming.

There is a very simple expanation. Coors Field and the Invesco Field stadiums were built on the welfare for the rich principle that we paid for but really belong to the team owners and the elite city leaders and no one is going to obscure their million dollar mountain views. I wonder if RTD could claim eminent domain thru Coors and Invesco Fields and get away with it.

Do you mean INFESTED FIELD?

My favorite team is whoever's playing the donkeys that week.
