police had a notice right on the front of the door. back on october 10th there was a man who was shot and killed right outside of the bar and denver police have been called here hundreds of times over the past year. the city says it felt like it needed to take some action after when they call the pattern of violence here, but on tuesday the owners of cold crush met with several city leaders and denver police and talked about the issues of violence and came up with a security plan. today the city reissued the conditions. cold crush will have to make some changes especially when it comes to security. guards will have to pat down customers at the door, use metal detector wands and from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. depending on the time of year the bar will need four to six security guards. the bar has to add better outdoor lighting around three sides of the building. last call will be announced at 1 a.m. and a new dress code, no gang

said he's willing to make and tonight the staff celebrated the reopening of cold crush at 7:00. >> i think what we've got out of this is that we're supported in this community and that's probably the best feeling you could have as a business owner, to know this many people in this area and this many people frequent your bar don't want to see it closed. >> reporter: while these people, these bar owners, have gotten a ton of support even in the form of a rally monday night, there ar that did not want to see this bar reopen. last week we talked to a couple next-door neighbors who say they are just tired of the violence that they have seen at this bar, but the owners that we talked to tonight, they say that they're hopeful that the changes that they're going to be making with all these security measures will make a difference. >> i know it's just the first night, but has there been a change in the number of people showing up as opposed to the regular crowds? >> reporter: well, it seems to

we have seen those new security measures in place. i'll step aside a second. you can see the security guys at the door. we've been seeing them use id scanners and waning people as well before anyone is allowed in the bar -- waning people as well before anyone is allowed in the bar. for the final time in this election season donald trump and hillary clinton shared the same stage tonight. the annual al smith dinner in new york city, a charity event filled with comedy, always serious campaign seasons where presidential candidates poke fun at themselves and each other. tonight some observers detected a different tone, though the jokes did keep coming. >> just before taking the dias hillary actually bumped into me and she very simply said pardon me.

[ applause ] >> and i very politely replied let me talk to you about that after i get into office. >> donald thought i used some sort of performance enhancer. now actually i did. it's called preparation. >> after the dinner both candidates did very quickly and very they also referenced the end of the campaign which is 19 days away. we just wrapped up debate season here at 9news with a showdown between republican congressman mike coffman and his democratic challenger state senator morgan carroll. they're fighting to represent aurora and the area around it. co-moderator brandon rittiman joins us. we covered a lot more ground than the presidential race.

us in a recent interview she doesn't believe many people who come into the country illegally did something wrong. we ask if that position confirms when her critics say -- confirms what her critics say, that democrats don't respect the rule of law on this issue? >> the bigger and more important imperative is to make sure the law is just, right, humane and not hurting families. so immigrant rights to me are human rights and the law is part of the problem. >> so came up. the candidates brought it up on their own at different times. coffman did call for his party's nominee donald trump to drop out of the presidential race, but he only did that recently after the tape came out of trump seeming to condone sexual assault on women. here's coughman after being pressed on that. >> i think both parties have lousy candidates quite frankly. i think the difference is i'm

not willing to take on hillary clinton. >> later on we had a moment when both candidates decided to open up a jar of awkward sauce. we know sometimes it seems like no one will just sit down and work together in d.c. well, folks, we tried. >> in accomplishment to your owe -- an accomplishment of your opponent that you respect in the legislature. >> i don't know one. >> okay. senator carroll? >> all right. so eventually she did bring up a couple of bills that had bipartisan support in congress, but she couldn't name one specifically that she thought coffman did a good job on. you can watch the entire debate right now on 9news.com or just go to facebook and look up 9news. it's there as well. we don't have any public

year. that's a bit unusual. democrats redrew the district hoping to snag is away from coffman, but he's beating two democratic challengers so far. we'll have to wait and see. still going back to the extra dollop of awkward sauce we asked our political analysts to share their thoughts. >> i was disappointed that neither could think of -- ian and i agreed on this point -- we were kind of sad this neither one of them could think of something either one of them has done. >> the problem is congressman coffman set the tone by looking up saying three seconds, sorry, can't think of anything. >> oh, versus sitting there for 30 seconds of dead air. come on. >> more of their analysis of the debate tonight, we are posting our balance of power special on 9news.com.

point with latino millennials. researchers from the latino leadership institute at university of denver looked into the issue. they found latino millennials compare about common issues but younger latinos were looking for something more in order to give a candidate their support. >> they really see maybe protest activities, even being involved in social media to influence politics as maybe being more powerful than voting. >> they're interested in causes and i think when you saw the influence of the rn campaign, it was about causes. it talked to climate change. it talked to a lot of different policy issues as opposed to candidate or party. >> you can dig into the details of this research and the results posted on 9news.com. someone who bought a lotto ticket in lakewood is $9.9 million richer. someone finally matched all six

their beer tour began january of 2015. they flew out to some more remote spots. yesterday they completed their mission in colorado springs. the journey began with an idea that certainly seemed simple enough. >> we thought we had done all the breweries in colorado springs. me and george found out there was a couple more down the road. so we're like we're going to start over and do every single brewery in colorado. we called our friend gary and he said i'm in, too. any time one opens we'l >> i'm going to take a six month leave 6 absence. the beer barons made a list of their breweries on their website. they don't rate them. it took the guys 642 days to meet their goal. said they would have done it faster, but financials. >> oh, yeah. -- finances. >> oh, yeah. this is going to be a great weekend to have your beverage of choice on the back patio with october temperatures close

forecast, chance for a little much needed precip tuesday, not much cooling friend, though and no sign of denver's first big storm or first snowfall. so we'll focus on that big monday night football game, the broncos against the texans, mild and dry when the guys take the field around sunset, temperatures in the mid-60s, 0 we hope will be a winning -- what we hope will be a winning forecast, beautiful pictures from the colorado high country, such a great time of year to be out and about. early in the morning, sometimes we have look out the window and it -- we look out the window and it seems so dark. daylight savings time will end november 6th. we'll have more daylight in the day and then the nights are -- nobody is happy except for that extra hour of sleep. >> the one day. >> put it on your calendar. cleveland indians are in the world series the first time since 1997. apparently fans of this year's

from colorado's sports leader here's rod mackey. >> it's hockey 101. if you can't score, you can't win and that's why the avs are no longer undefeated. they were shut out against washington in the last game, but tonight in tampa they returned the favor. blanked previously unbeaten tampa bay, good guys as matt duchene finally got a goal and what a goal it was, his first points of the season, but matt wasn't done. duchene needing to make up for lost time, i guess. he didn't have to wait long for goal no. 2, got it in period no. 2. avs handing the lightning their first setback of the season. >> i nine we had a -- mean we had a terrible game. we're coming off a tough back to back, but we dent hang our

obviously. we watched some stuff, improved some things. trevor accept siemian called -- siemian called brock osweiler a good friend. trevor did emphasize the two have always had a good relationship. >> i learned a ton from peyton obviously, but i learned a ton from situation that he was in. so brock's a good friend and i wish him really well. peyton wasn't playing, it was really cool to see how he handled everything. i just thought he was a pro for sure and got respect in the longer room. we've heard the broncos talk a lot about brock, but what do you say we hear from osweiler himself? mike klis has that covered in his notebook. >> reporter: we talked to an

brock osweiler held a conference call with the denver media the first time since he made his decision back in march. i was expecting him to dodge questions about why he bolted for houston. instead i was impressed how he answered them all straight on. there were many reasons brock left. one he admitted to, the broncos were a tad tardy in showing him some love. >> denver had the opportunity to, you know, extend an of long period of time to extend an offer. >> reporter: osweiler said flat out he preferred the texans offensive system where coach bill o'brien is a former patriot. what he didn't say as a reason is the texans offered him a four year deal worth $10 million more than the broncos presented. that comes out to 2.5 million a year which you bet was best for his family and himself. how will bronco fans greet

great reception. at the end of the day i have nothing but love and appreciation for not only the organization, the players, the coaches but the entire city of denver. >> reporter: brock may not know what kind of reception he'll get here monday night, but i do. he said he left in so many words because he thought it was better there than here. it will be time for bronco fans to stand and let him have it. mike klis, 9news. a week ago was broncos/chargers on thursday night football. tonight packers/bears. green bay broke it open with three tds in the 4th. packers win 26-10. nothing against the bears, but let's be honest. the biggest game played tonight for chicago fans was played on the diamond, game five of the nlcs cubs and dodgers.

bringing back their longest tenured dodger for a pregame boost. >> it's time for dodger baseball! >> awesome. vince scully back as a fan for the first time. game five a must win with the series deadlocked at deuces. cubs struck first in the 1st. anthony rizzo driving home the speedy dexter fowler making it 1-0. dodgers tied it russell played hero back to back nights with a home run. cubs win, cubs win, cubs win! final score 8-4. stay with us.
