Colorado man hit in the eye by a foul ball inside a Coors Field luxury box sues the Rockies — in part blaming the team’s poor performance

denverpost.com/2025/05/20/colorado-rockies-foul-ball-lawsuit-yankees-denver by @katielang.bsky.social

29. Defendant’s 2025 record as of the date of this Complaint is 7-35.

30. On May 10, 2025, Defendants were defeated 21-0 by the San Diego Padres.

31. Defendant’s longstanding poor performance on the field have contributed to a game-day environment in which spectators, particularly those in luxury suites, are less engaged with the action on the field.

32. The diminished competitive quality of play has fostered a stadium culture in which socializing, dining, and business networking have become the primary focus for many attendees.

33. This cultural shift is not incidental but rather encouraged by Defendant’s own marketing and design choices, which emphasize hospitality and off-field amenities over fan vigilance. A primary example is Defendant’s removal of the upper right field seats and installing a party deck where a view of the game for most spectators is virtually impossible.

34. The luxury suites and boxes were designed to accommodate business parties, meetings, conferences, networking and activities intended to take place during Colorado Rockies games.

35. In this context, it was both foreseeable and preventable that spectators, including Plaintiff, in such areas would be less attuned to game play and more susceptible to injury from conditions that were not reasonably accounted for in the stadium’s design and maintenance.

36. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s unreasonable failure to exercise reasonable care against dangers of which it knew or should have known, Plaintiff suffered injuries, losses and damages.
