1994 Strike-Shortened Season
The Rockies' strike-shortened 1994 season was their last at Mile High Stadium.
The 1994 season was cut short by a players' strike that began on August 12, 1994, and ultimately led to the cancellation of the World Series. For the Colorado Rockies, this was their second season in Major League Baseball, and they played their home games at Mile High Stadium, as Coors Field would not open until the 1995 season.

Lore & Background
The Rockies entered the 1994 season with high hopes after a record-setting inaugural season in 1993. However, the strike ended the season prematurely, with the team holding a 53–64 record. The Rockies were still playing at Mile High Stadium during this time, as construction on Coors Field was ongoing.
