Coors Field Events
Coors Field opened in 1995 in Denver* to provide a more suitable baseball venue to the expansion Colorado Rockies after the team had spent two years sharing Mile High Stadium with the NFL’s Denver Broncos. The Rockies have not yet quite repaid this investment with a championship title, though they did give fans at Coors Field the chance to experience one World Series in 2007, though it turned out to be a sweep by the Boston Red Sox, who won Game 1 by an eye-watering margin of 13-1. The park itself is one of the largest in the league, accommodating in excess of 50,000 fans for baseball games, with one row of purple seats amidst the sea of green seats to mark the exact point of one mile above sea level. The field’s sponsor, the beer company Coors, runs a brewery called Blue Moon Brewery at The Sandlot that is located inside the stadium (behind the right-field stands) where visitors can try fresh local craft beer. Blue Moon beer was invented at this brewery and is now distributed by Coors worldwide. The ball park also contains a nod to the mountains that give the Rockies their name out beyond the center field wall, with fountains, pine trees, and a waterfall. The fountains blast water up into the air after every Rockies home run and victory. Along with all regular season and playoff Rockies home games, Coors Field also occasionally hosts large concerts and outdoor NHL hockey games. Showing up to Coors Field on an empty stomach is no issue at all, with a wide selection of tasty treats like beef steak empanadas, green chile cheese fries, and wood-fired pizzas on the menu. Rockies team and event merchandise can be found on sale at the many shops and kiosks located around the stadium.
*As anyone who has ever visited a driving range in the Mile High has soon discovered (to their joy), balls fly considerably farther at higher altitudes. Coors Field has therefore acquired a reputation as an easy place to hit home runs, though efforts such as moving back the fences as well as placing balls inside a humidor (yep, like the ones you put cigars in) have been employed to give pitchers more of a fighting chance.
