Denver Post Mistakes Citizens Bank Park For Coors Field
In a visitors guide to the Rockies home field, the post somehow managed to feature a photo of Citizens Bank instead of Coors Field.
PHILADELPHIA – It seems Philly fever is catching on all over the country, even out in Colorado Rockies territory as the Denver Post erroneously featured Citizens Bank Park in a guide to Coors Field.
Published in Friday's print edition of the Post and briefly on the Post's website, a photo of Citizens Bank was featured as the lead image for a visitors guide to Coors Field, the home of the Rockies.
As of Friday afternoon, the digital story has updated the main photo to show Coors Field. However the print edition was circulated with the incorrect photo.
