Denver Post Runs Front Page Feature About Coors Field, Uses Giant Photo Of Citizen’s Bank Park

.@denverpost, I love you guys… but this seems to be a rather LARGE photo error in your Rockies guide. That stadium…. is Citizens Bank in Philly pic.twitter.com/Oycs87K1P7

It appears everybody is mailing it in on this Master’s weekend Friday. The managing editor of the “Life & Culture” section of the Denver Post sure is. He’s clearly been thinking about sitting on the couch this weekend, maybe mixing in a nap or two to Jim Nantz’s soothing voice. No chance did he think somebody could mess up a feature about Coors Field, at a Denver newspaper, with a photo of a stadium on the other side of the country.
It can’t get much worse than having a massive headline in all-caps reading “THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO COORS FIELD” followed by a giant picture of Citizen’s Bank Park in Philly. People wonder why newspapers are dying.

Um, that photo isn’t of Coors Field. It’s Citizens Bank Park in Philly. Come on, @denverpost! pic.twitter.com/BEBouNNrA4

I don’t know how this mistake gets made, but normally it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. Mistakes happen. It’s just the fact that they used a stadium of a team who has their logo right there above the damn jumbotron. It’s kinda hard to miss that big-ass “Phillies” out in left field.
I’ll give them this though: at least the game in the photo features the Rockies.

Due to a production error, an image of Citizens Bank Park ran in place of Coors Field on the cover of today's Life & Culture section. Please enjoy this beautiful image of Coors Field photographed yesterday. The Denver Post sincerely regrets the error. pic.twitter.com/0bwW2snOLb
