On June 1, 2006, ''[[USA Today]]'' reported that Rockies management, including manager [[Clint Hurdle]], had instituted an explicitly Christian code of conduct for the team's players, banning men's magazines (such as ''[[Maxim (magazine)|Maxim]]'' and ''[[Playboy]]'') and sexually explicit music from the team's clubhouse.<ref>{{Citation |last=Nightengale |first=Bob |title=Baseball's Rockies seek revival on two levels |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/rockies/2006-05-30-rockies-cover_x.htm |access-date=September 26, 2007 | work=USA Today | date=June 1, 2006}}</ref> The article sparked controversy, and soon-after ''[[The Denver Post]]'' published an article featuring many Rockies players contesting the claims made in the ''USA Today'' article.<ref>{{Citation |last=Renck |first=Troy E. |title=Team takes issue with portrayal |url=http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_3885222 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070404231929/http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_3885222 |archive-date=April 4, 2007 |access-date=September 26, 2007 |work=Denver Post |date=June 1, 2006}}</ref> Former Rockies pitcher [[Jason Jennings]] said: "[The article in ''USA Today''] was just bad. I am not happy at all. Some of the best teammates I have ever had are the furthest thing from Christian," Jennings said. "You don't have to be a Christian to have good character. They can be separate. [The article] was misleading."

On October 17, 2007, a week before the first game of the [[2007 World Series]] against the Boston Red Sox, the Colorado Rockies announced that tickets were to be available to the general public via online sales only, despite prior arrangements to sell the tickets at local retail outlets. Five days later on October 22, California-based ticket vendor Paciolan, Inc., the sole contractor authorized by the Colorado Rockies to distribute tickets, was forced to suspend sales after less than an hour due to an overwhelming number of attempts to purchase tickets. An official statement from the Rockies claimed that they were the victims of a [[denial of service attack]]. These claims, however, were unsubstantiated and neither the Rockies nor Paciolan have sought investigation into the matter. The United States [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] started its own investigation into the claims.<ref>{{cite web |first=Jane |last=Slater, 7NEWS Reporter |url=http://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/14425776/detail.html |title=FBI Looking Into 'Malicious Attack' During Ticket Sales&nbsp;– Denver Sports News Story&nbsp;– KMGH Denver |publisher=Thedenverchannel.com |date=October 25, 2007 |access-date=November 12, 2011 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927010038/http://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/14425776/detail.html |archive-date=September 27, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/playoffs2007/news/story?id=3080873 |title=FBI opens investigation into 'attack' on Rockies ticket system&nbsp;– MLB |publisher=ESPN |date=October 26, 2007 |access-date=November 12, 2011}}</ref> Ticket sales resumed the next day, with all three home games selling out within two and a half hours.

In March 2021, [[Ken Rosenthal]] and Nick Groke reported in ''[[The Athletic]]'' that, during the {{mlby|2020}} season, the Rockies had made baseball operations personnel work as clubhouse attendants in addition to their front office duties, resulting in work days lasting up to 17 hours.<ref name="Groke">{{cite news |last1=Groke |first1=Nick |last2=Rosenthal |first2=Ken |title=Communication failures, poor decisions and messy breakups: How it all went wrong for the Colorado Rockies |url=https://theathletic.com/2467223/2021/03/22/communication-failures-poor-decisions-and-messy-breakups-how-it-all-went-wrong-for-the-colorado-rockies/ |access-date=April 4, 2022 |work=[[The Athletic]] |date=March 22, 2021 |language=en}}</ref> Former staffers described doing laundry for players while team personnel asked them for scouting and statistical information.
