Park Major Denver baseball stadium, home of Colorado Rockies
Downtown Denver’s Coors Field hosts Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies and features rooftop seating with city and mountain views. Fans come for games, ballpark tours and nearby breweries.
Coors Field is a Major League Baseball stadium in downtown Denver, Colorado, and home to the Colorado Rockies since its opening in 1995. The ballpark is noted for its urban setting and views of the Rocky Mountains from parts of the outfield.
Features of the stadium include a brick façade, an upper concourse with skyline vistas and a range of spectator amenities; many visitors take stadium tours and attend ballgames for both the sport and the setting. The venue is also used for concerts and special events.
Coors Field opened for the 1995 MLB season and has since been a primary professional sports venue in Denver. Its location at high altitude influences how baseballs travel, a point of interest for fans and commentators.
The ballpark sits in the LoDo (Lower Downtown) neighbourhood, within walking distance of downtown Denver transport hubs and hospitality areas.
- Opening and capacity: The park opened in 1995 and has a seating capacity of roughly 50,000, depending on configuration.
- Elevation effect: Denver's high elevation (about 1,600 metres above sea level) affects ball flight and is a notable factor in play at the stadium.
