I've never attended a MLB game in my life my life. I wasn't really interested into baseball throughout my life. As life turned out, I happened upon an opportunity to attend a game here at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado.
MLB baseball is a cool concept, as long as the hitters are hitting homers and there's a lot of activity on the field. At least for me though. I find the game more entertaining if there's action and not just balls and strikes, but that's just me. With that said, I arrived via Uber on a brisk Thursday afternoon around 6pm. The Uber driver dropped me off 2 blocks away since there was heavy traffic around Coors Field since it was game night. I met my friend at the entrance and we headed in. We found our seats and hung out. It was my first live game so, I didn't really know what to expect. I ended up drinking 3 beers during my time here and my friend graciously picked up the tab for me, since I was from out of town. At times, the home crowd got really loud and quite passionate about who's doing what. The game went back and forth in the early going but the home team got its groove on that night and won 15-4 to close out the season. It was cool to see that, along with the home runs and stuff. It was cool to have servers in the stands taking food and drink orders, which you don't typically see at other sporting events. Not even during movie theaters too! They have restrooms but like movie theaters, you gotta leave your seat. For the most part though, my first MLB live in person game experience was rather epic for me. Bucket list item 23521 check!
The overall experience here at Coors Field was quite magical and awesome. Coors Field is home to the Colorado Rockies MLB baseball team. During my experience there, they were playing host to the Los Angeles Dodgers that evening of 9/28/2023. I probably had 3 beers that night (lost count after 2), but could function to cheer on the home team, even though I was from out of town. My friends and I were in the lower section of the ball park and got to see the action 1st hand, which was cool in itself. When the crowd started to stand up and sing those traditional baseball songs, I just sat there being the out of towner to not know what they were doing. Thankfully, they didn't notice or were drunk (or both) to not notice me not participating. In any event, the game was good and loaded with fun and home runs, so I wouldn't get too bored. Drinking alot of water and beer helped me find the restroom a bunch of times during the course of the game. For the most part though, it was a grand experience being able to attend my first MLB game here at Coors Field. If you are interested in attending a Rockies game, consider looking at their home schedule and come on by when they're playing at home. Definitely recommended as an area tourist attraction too.
Coors Field is located in the heart of Denver, Colorado. It's as large as a large building or a cluster of buildings. It's address is physically located at 2001 Blake Street, right off the I-25. Since you usually need to be a ticket holder to gain access to the stadium during game nights, they accept major credit cards and cash for tickets - as well as fast food sales and drinks. As far as parking goes, best to check with the Colorado Rockies MLB team to see where you can park on game nights. As for me, I Uber'ed here from the hotel to meet up with my friends. If you are into public transportation, consider which bus routes are feasible for you on the metro Denver public transportation system and use it for your inexpensive ride here. And of course, there's always Uber / Lyft to meet your transportation needs. While sitting at the hotel and watching the game could have been okay, finding myself here with friends watching it live is another thing. Definitely worth the Uber ride for sure. Gave me something to do on a Thursday night while being a tourist in Denver. Consider being entertained by MLB baseball, if you are one of those people.
4.0 stars for the overall experience.
