The last time the game was played in Colorado was in 1998, but the city had been in talks with MLB to host a future game and submitted a bid for 2024.The Rockies had supplied a detailed plan for hotel, event space and security that took months to assemble, and MLB staff had already made several site visits to Denver.

When [MLB] reached out last week, we couldn't say no," Hancock said. "All that advanced planning … came in handy. And we are definitely ready to go, hosting this event is about so much more than the Home Run Derby or the game itself."

Hancock said there will be plenty of family-friendly events throughout the week as well as volunteer opportunities. The economic benefits also come at a crucial time and will help some of the businesses hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Our Office of Economic Development International and Trade estimates the All-Star Game and the festivities around would add about $190 million in revenue this year in Colorado," Gov. Jared Polis said.

A spokesperson for the Maven Hotel said they've already received bookings for the week of the All Star Game. Maven Hotel's Director of Sales and Marketing Mustafa Menekse said they were happy the news finally became official.

"Baseball for us is a huge demand generator," Menekse said. "You know, the fans come in [from] all over the country and stay-in and dine-in. It [the All Star Game] will be great for the hospitality industry as well as the city of Denver."

 

Currently, only a limited number of fans can attend Rockies games, butPolis said Tuesday they expect a "sold out" game in Julybecause by then, anyone who wants a COVID-19 will have been able to get one.

"Every American who wants to be vaccinated will be able to get it by the end of May, which means immunity by mid-June, so there's no concerns from that front," Poils said. "I think everybody expects a fully packed sell-out stadium in July, and that's going to be good for Major League Baseball, good for Colorado and an exciting experience for fans."

 

plan in place prior to last week? Well isn’t that interdasting?

Digital fishing license launched in Colorado The myColorado app gives Colorado residents the ability to create an electronic version of their Colorado driver’s license or state identification (ID) card on their smartphone as proof of identity within the state.

 

The myColorado app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

 

“We are excited to make it as easy as possible for Coloradans to show they’ve purchased their fishing licenses, allowing them to continue enjoying our state’s great outdoors,” said Governor Jared Polis. “Since my children are under 16, they can fish for free, but when I got my license a couple years ago I was surprised that there wasn’t an option to display my license on my phone. While a paper license still works for many people, it can be easy to forget at home, but many parents like me always have their phone on them.This new option meets Coloradans where they’re at, providing 21st century service.

 

“Resident fishing license products are a great way for CPW to enter the digital arena with our licenses,” said CPW Director Dan Prenzlow. “We’ll continue to explore options for making proof of holding a valid license or pass easier for our customers.”

 

Moving forward, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said it will explore adding new products to the myColorado mobile app, such as individual park passes, dog-off leash passes and some annual hunting licenses.
