In Denver, it started when Coors Field (Rockies baseball) was built in a long-neglected, blighted, high-crime area on the northern fringe of downtown in 1995. The growth and development in that area since then has been stunning and dramatic (including the grand reopening of Union Station), where it’s now one of the most desirable locations to live downtown, especially for the younger demographic. The same thing happened when Horton Plaza (shopping) and Petco Park (Padres baseball) were completed in San Diego.
