Editorial Review for Coors Field – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Though this ballpark opened in 1995, the atmosphere hearkens back to an earlier era. Instead of neon signs, the stadium features a traditional brick facade, classic layout and majestic views of the Rockies and Denver. Amenities include the famous Rockpile (low-cost center-field bleachers) and the club-level section, where fans sit in wider seats and recieve individual attention from servers. And fans always have plenty of company; attendance is among the highest in Major League Baseball.

With 3 kids under 10, few would venture to an MLB game, but Coors Field makes it easy for us. There is plenty of parking in the main lot, private lots and on the street within just 5 blocks in any direction. As another reviewer pointed out, Denver's light rail means not having to park dowtown at all if you'd rather not. The streets outside the stadium are pedestrian-only during games, so there's plenty of walking space. Same goes for the concourse inside - nice and wide for less congestion with an enormous souvenir store on the first base side of the main level. Going in they only check you for weapons and glass bottles; Coors is one of the few venues where you can bring in your own food and drink. (The concessions are the high ballpark prices you 'd expect.) There's not a bad seat in the place, and there are plenty of escalators and elevators if your seats are higher up. If you do find yourself on the third level, your view of the city or mountains is phenomenal, and the Colorado sunset is second to none. When you go, check out the single row of purple seats exactly one mile above sea level. For the kids there is a playground out past left field and there are both batting and pitching cages in center. There are plenty of places to explore in case of rain or kids who need to get up and move around. (Rockies games are rarely rained out.) Coors Field is the best - Go Rockies!
Pros: Architecture, Accessibility, Bring your own food inside, Kid friendly, Scenery
Cons: Premium seating is pricey. Denver's high elevation means afternoon sunburn.

Coors is a great park, however, the fans sit on their hands and are there to be seen... Bottom of the eighth, down by a run, two on, one out...why must the scoreboard operator tell the fans to clap? Then, when the sign on the scoreboard is off, it is once again silent! The fan excitement of the mid and late 90's, when the Rockies were new, has sadly disappeared...Baseball park atmosphere is all about the fans and this Coors is flat.
Pros: Views, Concession variety/local flavor, Not a bad seat in the house
Cons: Atmosphere, Parking
