Coors Field

Coors Field is a baseball stadium in downtown Denver, Colorado. It is the home field of Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies. Opened in 1995, the park is located in Denver’s Lower Downtown neighborhood, two blocks from Union Station. The stadium has a capacity of 50,144 people for baseball. As an expansion team that began play in 1993, the Rockies spent their first two seasons at Mile High Stadium. During that time, Coors Field was constructed for a cost of $300 million. It includes 63 luxury suites and 4,526 club seats. Coors Field has earned a reputation as a hitter’s park, due to the effect of Denver’s high elevation and semi-arid climate on the distances of batted balls. To combat this, the outfield fences were positioned further away from home plate and baseballs used in the park have been pre-stored in humidors.

Coors Field has hosted the 1998 MLB All-Star Game and the 2021 MLB All-Star Game. Coors has also hosted an outdoor hockey game from the 2016 NHL Stadium Series, along with numerous concerts. In 2017, a consultant determined that Coors Field would require $200 million in capital improvements in the 2020’s. To fund those improvements, the Rockies agreed to a long-term lease to develop club-owned nearby land. Coors Field is a must-see for anyone who visits Denver. Located in the heart of LoDo, this magnificent landmark provides the ultimate event space for groups looking for a unique venue.

It is a hitter’s haven and a pitcher’s nightmare. At a mile above sea-level in the streets of downtown Denver sits the home of the Colorado Rockies, Coors Field. Hitters have always had an advantage due to the thin air of the Mile High City. Minor league teams, most notably the Denver Bears, called the city home for decades, playing at Mile High Stadium prior to Major League Baseball awarding the city a franchise. As the city grew in the 1970s and 1980s local officials sought a professional baseball franchise to join the city’s two other pro franchises, the Denver Broncos (NFL) and Denver Nuggets (NBA).
