What is "pendantic?" Try reading what I actually say instead of making a straw man. I didn't say Pena never worked to bring baseball to Denver, I said the historic district in lower downtown was well into its success before the baseball park opened years later, therefore it could not have been the "primary cause" of lower downtown's success. It's people living there that makes it a success, not the 81 days a year when there's an event at the stadium.ddn't exist untilt he sdtadium opened. There was little reason for all the sports bars in the neighborhood beofre there was a reason for sports fams to be there 81 days a year. 

The "ground floor" of sports bars wasn't 7 years before the stadium opened. Bar owners didn't flock to be open seven years before the customers would be there.
