–Protests on the street from opposing parties
–Security forces needed
–Jammed airports
–Celebrity sightings
–Thousands of supporters
–Lots of waving flags and banners
–Multitudes of media
–Hordes of T-shirt vendors
–LoDo swarmed
–Lots of fast pitches
–Coors advertising budget doubled
–Hundreds of castrated bulls (for those Rocky Mt Oyster orders)
