'''Coors Field''' is a [[baseball]] [[stadium]] in downtown [[Denver]], Colorado, United States. It is the [[ballpark]] of [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[Colorado Rockies]]. Opened in [[1995 Major League Baseball season|1995]], the park is located in Denver's [[LoDo|Lower Downtown]] neighborhood, two blocks from [[Union Station (Denver)|Union Station]]. The stadium has a capacity of 50,144 people for baseball.

As an [[expansion team]] that began play in 1993, the Rockies spent their first two seasons at [[Mile High Stadium]]. During that time, Coors Field was constructed for a cost of $300 million. It includes 63 luxury suites and 4,526 club seats. Coors Field has earned a reputation as a [[hitter's park]], due to the effect of Denver's high [[elevation]] and [[semi-arid climate]] on the distances of batted balls. To counter this, the [[outfield]] fences have been moved away from [[home plate]], and baseballs used in the park are stored in a [[humidor]].

Coors Field has hosted the [[1998 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|1998 MLB All-Star Game]] and the [[2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|2021 MLB All-Star Game]]. Coors has also hosted an outdoor hockey game from the [[2016 NHL Stadium Series]], along with numerous concerts.

In 2017, a consultant determined that Coors Field would require $200 million in capital improvements in the 2020s. To fund those improvements, the Rockies agreed to a long-term lease to develop club-owned nearby land.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Huspeni|first=Dennis|date=2021-08-14|title=Behind the scenes: LoDo's McGregor Square development|url=https://denvergazette.com/news/behind-the-scenes-lodos-mcgregor-square-development/article_09fc6f38-da80-11eb-9ef3-5ff0bcea3c36.html|url-status=live|website=The Denver Gazette|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210705153532/https://denvergazette.com/news/behind-the-scenes-lodos-mcgregor-square-development/article_09fc6f38-da80-11eb-9ef3-5ff0bcea3c36.html |archive-date=2021-07-05 }}</ref>

==Construction==
Coors Field was the first new [[stadium]] added in a six-year period in which Denver's sports venues were upgraded, along with [[Ball Arena]] (originally Pepsi Center) and [[Sports Authority Field at Mile High|Empower Field at Mile High]] (originally Invesco Field). It was also the first baseball-only park in the National League since [[Dodger Stadium]] was built in [[1962 Major League Baseball season|1962]].

As with the other new venues, Coors Field was constructed with transportation access in mind. It sits near [[Interstate 25]] and has direct access to the 20th Street and Park Avenue exits. Nearby Union Station also provides light rail and commuter rail access, as well as local and regional bus lines.

Coors Field was originally planned to be somewhat smaller, seating only 43,800. However, after the Rockies drew almost 4.5 million people in their first season at [[Mile High Stadium]] – the most in baseball history – the plans were altered during construction, and new seats in the right field upper deck were added.

The center field bleacher section is named "The Rockpile".  During the 1993 and 1994 seasons when the team played at [[Mile High Stadium]], which was a hybrid football/baseball venue, the Rockpile was located next to the south stands, which were in dead center field and very distant from home plate.  The same design was incorporated into Coors Field, and is located in deep center field up high.  The original Rockpile seats cost a dollar each.

During construction, workers discovered a number of dinosaur fossils throughout the grounds. Rumors circulated that these fossils included a {{convert|7|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} {{convert|1000|lb|kg|adj=on}} [[triceratops]] skull. In reality, the fossil fragments discovered were quite small, and are now housed at the Museum of Science and Nature. Because of these discoveries, "Jurassic Park" was one of the first names to be considered for the stadium. This later led to the selection of a triceratops as the Rockies' mascot, Dinger.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/pauldineen/234327498/|title=Dinger, Colorado Rockies mascot|date=August 27, 2006|via=Flickr}}</ref>

In 1991, [[Coors Brewing Company|Coors Brewing]] purchased [[naming rights]] "in perpetuity" to the stadium as part of their $30 million investment in the Rockies.<ref>{{cite web |title=Why Coors Field's naming rights won't be changing anytime soon |url=https://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/rockies/why-the-coors-fields-name-wont-be-changing-anytime-soon |website=KMGH |access-date=26 January 2022 |language=en |date=5 September 2019}}</ref> A 2017 lease agreement that Rockies club ownership signed with the stadium district ensured that the name would remain at least through 2047.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Spedden |first1=Zach |title=Coors Field Naming Rights Run in Perpetuity |url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2019/10/31/coors-field-naming-rights-run-in-perpetuity/ |website=Ballpark Digest |access-date=26 January 2022 |date=31 October 2019}}</ref>

The '''Blue Moon Brewery at The Sandlot''' is a [[microbrewery]]/[[restaurant]] that is behind the right-field stands, with an entrance from Coors Field, and from Blake Street. The brewery is operated by the [[Coors Brewing Company]], and experiments with craft beers on a small scale. The Brewery has won multiple awards at the [[Great American Beer Festival]] in various categories. The popular [[Blue Moon (beer)|Blue Moon]], a Belgian-Style Wheat beer was invented here, and is now mass-produced by Coors. The restaurant is housed in a building that is attached to the stadium. Coors Field has an extensive selection of food items. Selections include Rockie dogs, Denver dogs, vegetarian dogs and burgers, and all of the usual ball park items.<ref>{{Cite web |title=A line of purple seats marks the one‑mile elevation at Coors Field |url=https://www.9news.com/article/sports/mlb/colorado-rockies/coors-field-fun-facts-30th-birthday/73-33fefe88-d654-449c-a0c1-18737ca46ee4 |access-date=July 9, 2025 |website=9News Denver |language=en}}</ref>

Behind the center field wall is a landscape decoration that reflects the typical environment of the [[Rocky Mountains]]. This landscape area consists of a waterfall, fountains, and pine trees.  After a Rockies home run or win, the fountains shoot high into the air.

The park has two large [[light emitting diode]] (LED) video displays and one ribbon display in the outfield from [[Daktronics]]. The top display, underneath the "Rockies" logo, measures {{convert|27|x|47|ft|0}}. The second display measure {{convert|33|x|73|ft}} and is used to give lineups and statistics and as a scoreboard. The field also contains several Daktronics ribbon displays, totaling approximately {{convert|833|ft}} in length.<ref name=field>{{cite web|title=Colorado Rockies, Coors Field|url=http://www.daktronics.com/ProductsServices/PhotoGallery/Pages/default.aspx?photoID=WP-12478&keywords=colorado%20rockies&filters|publisher=Daktronics|access-date=March 16, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114062515/http://www.daktronics.com/ProductsServices/PhotoGallery/Pages/default.aspx?photoID=WP-12478&keywords=colorado%20rockies&filters|archive-date=November 14, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

After the close of the 2013 season, renovations began on the right field portion of the upper deck, converted into an outdoor party deck called "The Rooftop" for 2014.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rooftop Deck|url=http://colorado.rockies.mlb.com/col/ballpark/rooftop_deck.jsp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131216095950/http://colorado.rockies.mlb.com/col/ballpark/rooftop_deck.jsp|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 16, 2013|publisher=[[Major League Baseball Advanced Media]]|access-date=April 4, 2014}}</ref>

Coors Field is also home to a section of seats called "The Rockpile". The very last section of seats are 600 feet away from home plate, making them the furthest away from home plate in any MLB stadium.<ref>{{Cite web |first= |title=Rockies Rockpile Tickets: A Quick Overview |url=https://rockpilenews.com/rockies-rockpile-tickets-a-quick-overview/ |website=Rockpile News}}</ref>

===Reputation as a home run-friendly park===
At {{convert|5200|ft|-1}} above sea level, Coors Field is by far the highest park in the majors.<ref>CBS News. “Coors Field’s altitude impacts baseball flights and play.” CBS Colorado, March 2016. Accessed DATE. URL.</ref><ref>CBS News. “Coors Field’s altitude impacts baseball flights and play.” CBS Colorado, March 2016. Accessed DATE. URL.</ref> The next-highest, [[Chase Field]] in [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]], stands at {{convert|1100|ft|-1}}. Designers knew that the stadium would give up a lot of home runs, as the lower air density at such a high [[elevation]] would result in balls traveling farther than in other parks. To compensate for this, the outfield fences were placed at an unusually far distance from home plate, thus creating the largest outfield in Major League Baseball.<ref name="Business Insider">{{cite web |title=CHART: MLB Ballpark Sizes Show the Immense Difference Between Fenway Park and Coors Field|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-major-league-baseball-ballpark-sizes-2014-3|work=Business Insider|access-date=April 24, 2016}}</ref> In spite of the pushed-back fences, for many years Coors Field not only gave up the most home runs in baseball, but due to the resultant large field area, the most [[double (baseball)|doubles]] and [[triple (baseball)|triples]] as well.<ref name="Cathedrals">{{cite book |last=Lowry|first=Phillip|title=Green Cathedrals|url=https://archive.org/details/greencathedralsu0000lowr_u1c9|url-access=registration|year=2005|publisher=Walker & Company|location=New York City|isbn=0-8027-1562-1}}</ref>

In its first decade, the above-average number of home runs earned Coors Field a reputation as the most hitter-friendly park in Major League Baseball, earning the critical nicknames "Coors Canaveral"<ref>{{cite news |title=Opening Shots|first=Jim|last=Armstrong|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=DP&p_theme=dp&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EAF452D7534A60D&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|newspaper=[[The Denver Post]]|date=June 13, 1999|access-date=June 5, 2012}}</ref> (a reference to [[Cape Canaveral]], from where [[NASA]] launches spacecraft) and "[[Williamsport, Pennsylvania|Williamsport]]" (referring to the site of the [[Little League World Series]], which has been traditionally dominated by batters). Prior to the 2002 baseball season, studies determined that ''dry'' air rather than ''thin'' air had a greater contribution to the increased frequency of home runs.<ref>MLB.com. “Coors Field Guide: Unique Characteristics & Capacity.” MLB.com, 2024. Accessed DATE. URL.</ref> It was found that baseballs stored in damper air are softer and therefore less [[Elasticity (physics)|elastic]] to the impact of the bat.{{Cref2|A}} To address this problem, a secure room-sized [[humidor]] was installed to have a damper place to store the baseballs prior to games. Since its introduction, the number of home runs at Coors Field has decreased and is now nearly the same as other parks.<ref>{{cite news |title=More Humidors Likely on Horizon|first=Troy E.|last=Renck|url=http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_3961497|newspaper=[[The Denver Post]]|date=June 21, 2006|access-date=June 12, 2007}}</ref>

Regardless of ball humidity, elevation is still a factor in games at Coors Field.  The ball does slip more easily through the thin air allowing for longer hits. In addition, the [[curveball]] tends to curve less with the thin air than at sea level leading to fewer strikeouts and fewer effective pitches for pitchers to work with.<ref>{{cite web |title=What to pack for Denver|first=Josh|last=Kalk|url=http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/what-to-pack-for-denver/|work=Hardball Times|date=June 17, 2008|access-date=March 16, 2013}}</ref>

Coors Field twice broke the major league record for home runs hit in a ballpark in one season. The previous record, 248, had been set at the [[Los Angeles Angels|Angels]]' original home of [[Wrigley Field (Los Angeles)|Wrigley Field]] in Los Angeles in 1961, its only year for major league ball. In Coors Field's first year, the home run total fell just 7 short of that mark, despite losing 9 games from the home schedule (or 1/9 of the normal 81) due to the strike that had continued from 1994. The next season, 1996, with a full schedule finally, 271 home runs were hit at Coors Field. In 1999, the current major league record was set at 303. The annual home run figure dropped noticeably in 2002, and has dropped below 200 starting in 2005.<ref>{{cite web |title=Coors Field in Denver, Colorado|url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/D/PK_DEN02.htm|publisher=Retrosheet|access-date=March 16, 2013}}</ref>

Although the number of home runs hit per season at Coors Field is decreasing, Coors Field still remains the most hitter friendly ballpark in the Major Leagues by a wide margin. From 2012 to 2015, the Colorado Rockies led the league in runs scored in home games, while being last in the league for runs scored in away games. This demonstrates the extreme benefit that Coors Field's low air density provides to hitters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dfsstrategy.com/ballparks-effect-batters-mlb-dfs-part-1/|title=How do Ballpark Factors Affect Batters for MLB DFS?

One concern for the Rockies has been poor adjustment when playing road games at lower altitudes. The Rockies score an average of just 3.9 runs per road game, the lowest among all teams. This has had a detrimental effect on Colorado's all-time road record, which sits at {{not a typo|888–1352}}, or 39.6%, the worst in the majors.

Rockies pitchers are more likely to finish with an ERA of at least 4, if not higher, and only [[Ubaldo Jiménez]] and [[Jhoulys Chacín]] maintained sub-4 ERAs during their Rockies tenure (3.66 and 3.84 respectively).

====Increased fence height====
In order to combat the concerns of a home run friendly ballpark and to attract [[free agent]] pitchers, the Rockies raised two portions of the outfield fences prior to the 2016 season.  The sections of fence that were raised were specifically chosen to not interfere with the view of the field from the [[grandstand]].  From right field to center field in front of the bullpens the fence was raised 8 feet 9 inches to a height of 16 feet 6 inches, consistent with the height of the out of town scoreboard.  In the left field corner the fence was raised five feet to a total height of thirteen feet from the foul pole to the pavilion seating section.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Groke |first1=Nick |title=With new Coors Field fences, Rockies still fighting mile-high rep |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2016/04/07/with-new-coors-field-fences-rockies-still-fighting-mile-high-rep/ |website=The Denver Post |access-date=10 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816080048/https://www.denverpost.com/2016/04/07/with-new-coors-field-fences-rockies-still-fighting-mile-high-rep/ |archive-date=16 August 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Harding |first1=Thomas |title=Rockies raising outfield fences at Coors Field Left-field corner, right-center wall getting added height |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/coors-field-outfield-walls-being-raised-c165840326 |website=Major League Baseball |access-date=10 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230609021420/https://www.mlb.com/news/coors-field-outfield-walls-being-raised-c165840326 |archive-date=9 June 2023}}</ref>

Analysis after the 2016 season showed that the new fences had very little effect.  One study showed that the new fences only came into play twenty times; one play changed what would have been a ground rule double into a triple.  The number of home runs in the 2016 season was actually greater than the 2015 season.  The new fences had the most effect on right handed batters.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Harding |first1=Thomas |title=Homers still play with new Coors Field fences MLB.com study doesn't find significant difference in numbers with new dimensions in 2016 |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/homers-steady-with-new-coors-field-fences-c210120110 |website=Major League Baseball |access-date=10 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240302174858/https://www.mlb.com/news/homers-steady-with-new-coors-field-fences-c210120110 |archive-date=2 March 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Higher outfield fences at Coors Field make little difference |url=https://coloradocommunitymedia.com/2017/03/23/higher-outfield-fences-at-coors-field-make-little-difference/ |website=Colorado Community Media |access-date=10 December 2024}}</ref>

[[File:Coors Field panorama 2022.jpg|thumb|Behind home plate at Coors Field in 2022]]
On September 17, 1996, [[Hideo Nomo]] of the [[1996 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Los Angeles Dodgers]] threw the first of his two career [[No-hitter|no-hit]] games as the Dodgers won 9–0. Nomo's first no-hitter at Coors Field is of special note due to the park's overwhelming hitter-friendly reputation (before the usage of the humidors, even), it being the only one thrown there through the 2024 season, as well as Nomo pitching for the visiting team; while still a fairly new park at the time, the Rockies started out in the similarly elevated [[Mile High Stadium]] and would naturally be more accustomed to Coors Field's nuances such as the larger fielding area as it is their home field.

The [[1998 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|1998]] and [[2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game]]s took place in Coors Field.

In 2011, a man fell to his death when he was attempting to slide down a stair railing during the 7th inning of a Rockies–[[Arizona Diamondbacks|Diamondbacks]] game.<ref>{{cite news |title=Coors Field fan dies after sliding down handrail|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2011/05/26/coors-field-fan-dies-after-sliding-down-handrail/|work=[[The Denver Post]]|agency=[[MediaNews Group]]|date=May 26, 2011|access-date=January 27, 2018}}</ref>

==The "Voice" of Coors Field==
{{unreferenced section|date=April 2025}}
[[Alan Roach]] was the main PA announcer since Coors Field opened in 1995. In the spring preceding the 2007 Rockies season, Roach announced his retirement from his post at Coors Field to spend more time over the summer with his family. He did come back to substitute in 2008. Roach is also the PA announcer for the nearby [[Colorado Avalanche]] hockey team of the [[National Hockey League|NHL]] and former PA announcer for the [[Denver Broncos]] of the [[National Football League|NFL]]. He also provides voice-overs for local sports introductions in the region, in addition to hosting a local sports talk radio show. He is currently the PA announcer for the [[Minnesota Vikings]] of the [[National Football League|NFL]].  He is also one of the voices of the [[Denver International Airport Automated Guideway Transit System|train system]] at [[Denver International Airport]], and has also been heard as the PA announcer at recent [[Super Bowl]]s. Reed Saunders, 23, was chosen to be the new voice of Coors Field on March 16, 2007.

==Notes==
{{Cnote2 Begin|liststyle=upper-alpha|colwidth=40em}}
{{Cnote2|A|Being less elastic, a softer baseball experiences more [[deformation (engineering)|deformation]] than a harder one, all else being equal – that is, it is less [[bouncing ball|bouncy]]. Thus, at the time of bat-ball contact, more of the combined [[kinetic energy]] of the bat and ball is absorbed by [[deformation (engineering)|deformation]] of the baseball, leaving less to impart motion to the ball in its flight away from the bat (which means that the softer baseball has a lower [[coefficient of restitution]]).<ref name=Stuart>{{cite web |url=https://www.popsci.com/entertainment-amp-gaming/article/2008-11/why-do-colorado-rockies-keep-their-baseballs-humidor/ |title=Why Do the Colorado Rockies Keep Their Baseballs in a Humidor? |author=Stuart Fox |date=November 7, 2008 |work=Popular Science |accessdate=May 30, 2021}}</ref>

But given the small change in elasticity of the balls stored in the humidor, the speed (and hardness) of the bat and the speed of the ball remain much stronger factors in the outcome of the impact event.<ref name=Stuart/>}}
