Exploring Denver, Colorado: Coors Field

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

You do not have to be a baseball fan to enjoy visiting different ballparks in different cities across the country. And if you are the sort of person who enjoys visiting different ballparks (or if you hope to become that sort of person!), there are few ballparks more beautiful to visit than Coors Field.

Coors Field - which was built in 1995, a couple blocks from Union Station in the Lower Downtown neighborhood of Denver - is the home of the Colorado Rockies. As a now-integral part of Denver's gorgeous downtown - and as one of baseball's newer ballparks - Coors Field is certainly a treat.

Despite the fact that Coors Field is relatively large - housing over 50,000 fans - anyone who has been to a game at the ballpark can tell you that there is truly not a bad seat in the house. The ballpark is constructed of beautiful brick, with wide open spaces - which gives it a uniquely "Denver" feel - and the ballpark itself has a uniquely "Colorado" feel, complete with pine trees in the outfield bullpens!

Perhaps the best seat in the house - especially for those who are visiting mostly to experience the ballpark, rather than to view a game - is the Rockpile. The tickets for this section are only $4, and it is situated high above center field. With this unbelievably affordable price, families are able to attend a game at Coors Field without spending tons of money, and these seats will also enable you to watch the sun as it sets over the majestic Rocky Mountains. Additionally, these seats are a great way to see the whole ballpark at once; make sure you purchase tickets early, though, if you want to sit in the Rockpile section! Due to the great price of these seats and the great view these seats afford, they usually sell out far in advance of the actual games.

Even if you choose not to buy Rockpile tickets (or even if the Rockpile tickets are sold out!), you can find great prices on seats all throughout Coors Field. If you are looking to experience a new ballpark, keep Coors Field on your list - even if you travel to Denver just to catch a game, it is well worth the trip!
