Seating capacity: 50,445
Field surface: Grass
Year opened: 1995
Much like Milwaukee's Miller Field, Denver's picturesque
Coors Field can be considered "the House that Beer Built"—and trust us, there's
no shortage of brew flowing through this ballpark. Be sure to check out the
baseball-inspired Sandlot Brewery for a nice selection of microbrews and a warm
atmosphere. Of course, there's much more to Coors Field than beer. You can see
a game in the centerfield "Rockpile" for as little as $4 per ticket! And if
you're lucky enough to take in a late afternoon or early evening game you'll
get to enjoy watching the sun slowly set into the Rocky Mountains. Who says a
baseball game can't be romantic?
Fast Fact: Most of the stadium seats are green. However,
the upper deck's 20th row is painted purple, signifying exactly one mile above
sea level.
