Coors Field

Coors Field opened on April 26, 1995, and is the proud home of the Colorado Rockies, Denver’s Major League Baseball team since the franchise was established in 1993. Located in the heart of the city’s historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) district, the stadium replaced the Rockies’ temporary home at Mile High Stadium, bringing baseball to a purpose-built venue designed for the game’s future in the Mile High City. With panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and a blend of nostalgic charm and modern amenities, Coors Field quickly became one of the most iconic ballparks in the league.

The stadium features The Rooftop, a massive social area with food, drinks, and views of both the field and the city skyline, making it a favorite for younger fans and first-time visitors. Designed with fan comfort in mind, Coors Field offers excellent sight lines, wide concourses, and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects Colorado’s laid-back vibe. The park’s use of traditional red brick and exposed steel pays tribute to classic ballpark architecture, while its high-altitude location presents a style of baseball you won’t find anywhere else.

Over the years, Coors Field has been home to unforgettable moments, including the 1998 All-Star Game, record-setting offensive performances, and milestone achievements from Rockies greats like Todd Helton and Larry Walker. It’s also known for one-of-a-kind quirks, like the row of purple seats marking exactly one mile above sea level.

Whether you're soaking up sunshine in the outfield bleachers or enjoying a cold drink on The Rooftop, Coors Field captures the spirit of baseball in the Rockies. Today, it stands as a can’t-miss destination for baseball travelers, locals, and fans who appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of a game played at altitude.

• The Rooftop: One of the most unique features in all of Major League Baseball, The Rooftop spans over 38,000 square feet above right field. It includes full-service bars, local food vendors, lounge seating, and panoramic views of both the field and the Denver skyline. It’s a social hub for fans who enjoy the game with a side of atmosphere—and maybe a craft beer or two.

• The Purple Row: Look closely in the upper deck and you’ll find a single row of seats colored purple rather than dark green. These seats mark exactly one mile above sea level, a nod to Denver’s nickname, the Mile High City. It’s one of the ballpark’s most photographed and iconic details.

• Rockpile Seating: Located beyond the center field wall, the Rockpile offers some of the most affordable tickets in the stadium. Originally intended for walk-up fans, the section has become a beloved part of Coors Field culture. It’s also where you’ll find the natural rock water feature — complete with evergreens and a waterfall — bringing a touch of Colorado wilderness into the park.

• Mountain Views and Sunsets: While not a specific structure, the west-facing outfield gives fans the chance to see unforgettable sunsets over the Rocky Mountains, especially during evening games. It’s one of the most picturesque backdrops in all of baseball.

• Statues and Tributes: Outside the home plate entrance, you’ll find a statue of “The Player,” a generic figure meant to represent all ballplayers and the spirit of the game. While the Rockies don’t have as long a history as some franchises, the team honors its stars with installations throughout the stadium, including tributes to Todd Helton and Larry Walker, the first Rockies players to have their numbers retired.
