Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Long noted as a baseball stadium that is very well rated, and one that fans always recommend to go to. I never had the chance to go, until July of 2025 that is. Yeah, so what happens when you match up a terrible team like the Chicago White Sox with another historically bad team in the Colorado Rockies? Some YouTubers would call this Tank Bowl, or the Greatest Game (Although this would be the Greatest Series since baseball). However, on this day, the historically bad Rockies were 20-69, on the possible verge of getting swept. However they won (Yes, I guess my presence helped them win. I did go 4-1 after all in 2025 in baseball games).
How did Coors Field rank though overall? Let's find out, and like every post from past to future, it's all based on Amenities, Atmosphere, Location and Price.
Amenities:
Most MLB stadiums do have a ton of options for food and drinks, and Coors Field is no different. Food options on virtually every level, with specialty areas on the top deck. Even the bleachers had an option for food and drinks, and this team was.. well bad. Given the weekend of July 4th, there was a sizeable crowd. There is a play area for families in the left field area. There is a lot of shops for merch around the ball park. The ballpark is clean throughout and the bathrooms are easy to navigate and also clean. All in all, have to go 5 out of 5.
Atmosphere:
Honestly, this is where I dutifully wish Colorado had a good ball club. There is the renderings and pennants of 2007 everywhere but also the memories of that historic season plus the two years the Rockies got to the playoffs with Bud Black as manager as well. This is a city of Denver that loves the Rockies, but they sorely wish they were just good. Even on this day, there was a palpable atmosphere that couldn't be denied. This city wants the team to win, they want them to be good. The atmosphere would be beyond electric with a good team. Be that as it may, it's probably the best atmosphere I have been to for a team that was as putrid as the Rockies in 2025 were. It's a solid 3.5 out of 5.
Location:
In the heart of the city of Denver, you can see Coors Field from a solid mile away. It's got a LOT of options around the park, right off the interstate, and is easy to get to. It is a solid position for the baseball stadium, and they have really worked with that stadium there to get the most they can around it to make it a great gathering block. There isn't much more to say other than give it it's rightful 5 out of 5 score.
Price:
Admittedly, this is where I will rate the tickets and parking highly. Parking pretty much right near the park, lower ticket prices (mainly due to it being bleachers and the team being.. well again really bad) played a role into this. I don't believe I spent more than 45 combined for the tickets and parking. The food, bit pricey though for the quality. Felt it could be a dollar or two cheaper and I would have been better off. The best parts though: The churro which was amazing and the lemonade. Definitely buy both at the park. There are some cheap options in the merch store, but if you are looking to buy jerseys, then be prepared to look at your bank account. I don't typically do much merch, so we leave it out of the order. Overall, have to say for the fact the Rockies won, seats and parking were cheap enough but the up and down quality of food compared to price, its a 4 out of 5.
Review:
At a score of 17.5, Coors Field is one of the best ballparks I have been to. Given the others I would rate highly are Target Field and Great American Ballpark, this is on par with those. If they EVER get a winner back in Denver, this place will be beyond electric and ready to party. And that atmosphere score will easily be a five. Definitely look to go to a game either way, support the club if able.
