Perfect Ballpark for Young Families

by redfive

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.

Fans ruin atmosphere

by raz_21

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

Fantastic views

by winghaz

Great views of the Rocikes -- the mountains and the team. Not a bad seat in the place. But I wasn't happy with the concessions. You'd think a place called Coors Field would have really cold beer, but mine was lukewarm.

• Pros: The views; proximity to a great area of Denver
• Cons: Concessions

The Colorado Rockies' home ballpark boasts classic style, great views and a variety of amenities.

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.

Great place to watch baseball at a low low price.

by jmarussic

I am a Senior (over 55) and am able to get a Centerfield

A Centerfield Bleacher seat (Rockpile) for $1.00.

Also, you can get a free pop if you sign up at the

designated driver booth once a day.

To sum it up for $1.00 (Senior) $4.00 (Adults) you can see

a live ballgame and a free pop, also.

Can't be beat, anywhere in the U.S.A.

Plus a gorgeous field to watch baseball.

I can buy tickets for the whole season at Coors Field

(80 games) for $80.00.

Great Stadium!

by mccauleyr

I enjoyed a game from about 20 rows back on the 1st base side. Wonderfull stadium with great views. Just wish the Rockies were a little better.

• Pros: Parking Easy to Find, Clean Bathrooms, Neat Stadium
• Cons: Rockies Suck, Coors Light

baseball and beer

by d_scheid

Even though the team may not be too entertaining the stadium more than makes up for the lack of excitement on the field.

.....and apple pie!

by treefrogs34

It doesn't matter whose playing, whether it is raining or 100 degrees,...this is the best thing in life and we get to see it in Coors Field? It doesn't get much better than that!

Beautiful, fun even if the Rockies don't win, of course I want them to win and then it is fantastic.
