Not even just October, but I'd guess it's pretty chilly in April still too. I guess they probably start their season on the road but even so, they must have to play in Colorado at some point in April. I remember one year, the Yankees were playing their season opener in a snow squall in New York. I still have a vivid image of Bernie Williams with his turtleneck up past his nose. I'd find it hard to believe that it doesn't happen in Colorado too! Seriously, someone wasn't thinking when they built that stadium. Perhaps the same someone who didn't put a retractable roof the Rangers new stadium, where they can rarely play day games due to the heat.
