Notable Moments

Oct 27, 2007The Rockies host their first World Series games after an incredible late-season run.

🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

The "Rooftop" is the place to be for a social, bar-like atmosphere. For the best mountain views, sit on the first-base side or in the upper levels behind home plate.

Parking Tips

LoDo (Lower Downtown) has plenty of garages, but they fill fast. Use the RTD Light Rail to Union Station and walk the few blocks to the stadium.

Game Day

Look for the "Purple Row" (Row 20 of the 300 level). Watch the fountains in center field after home runs and enjoy local craft beers from the "Blue Moon" brewery inside the park.
