The Rocky Mountain Vibes is part of the Pioneer League Baseball, an independent Minor League Baseball in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Its teams are not directly affiliated with Major League Baseball (MLB). It is designated as an MLB Partner League.
As a result of a contraction of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Pioneer League, of which the Vibes have been members since 2019, was converted from an MLB-affiliated Rookie Advanced league to an independent baseball league and granted status as an MLB Partner League. Prior to this, they had been affiliated with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019 and 2020.
In their inaugural season, the Vibes played their first game on June 14 against the Orem Owlz as visitors, losing 3–0. Their first home game was played at UCHealth Park on June 21 against the Grand Junction Rockies, an 8–5 loss.
Rocky Mountain Vibes plays their home games at UCHealth Park in Colorado Springs, CO (formerly known as Sky Sox Stadium from its opening until 2005 and as Security Service Field from then until 2019). The stadium is 6,531 feet above sea level, making it the highest professional baseball park in North America.
Overall, the Rocky Mountain Vibes are an exciting new addition to Minor League Baseball, and their affiliation with the Milwaukee Brewers bodes well for their future success. If you're a baseball fan in Colorado Springs, catching a Vibes game at UCHealth Park is definitely worth your time.
