Rockies 20 Games of Green
Over the course of 20 games this season the Rockies along with media partners FSN Rocky Mountain, 850 KOA and The Denver Post enlisted players and fans toward making a positive impact on the environment through the "20 Games of Green" initiative.
The 20 games were split into three "Green Weeks," April 24-29, July 6-12 and September 1-7. Each "Green Week" featured ticket packages, in-game incentives, fan contests, bike-to-the-game events and more. See the calendar of events for more details but here are some of the highlights.
- Online Fan Contest - Fans submitted videos showing what they're doing to help the environment and won VIP tickets to a Rockies game!
- "Wood for Wood" - For every Rockies home run that was hit during these 20 games, we planted one tree in the Denver area.
- We encouraged fans to recycle with mid-inning recycling stretches during each of these games.
- "Green Packs" were available July 6-12 and September 1-7. For only $20 you received two tickets and $5 of each pack sold went toward the "Wood for Wood" program. Not only did you get a great deal, but you helped plant trees with your purchase.
