Seating at Coors Field
You don’t need us to tell you that the seats directly behind home plate are the most desirable in a ballpark, and the most expensive. But since not all premium seating options are the same from park-to-park, nor are the outfield bleachers, we’re here to tell you about the many ticket options you have at Coors Field. And trust us, there are many, between the nearly 47,000 actual seats, room for another 3,500 standing fans, and even seats that can be bought on gameday for as low as $4.

Our favorite seats
200 Level Club
Nicer seats, elevated view, air conditioned concourse with nice bars and some specialty foods, plus a view of the mountains. We like it.
The Rooftop
They’re not seats so much as a giant bar for hanging out, but it’s the best such spot in all of MLB. and it’s where the party is (if that’s your thing).
100 Level Infield
Obvious to say, but there’s so much great food at Coors Field that it’s best to be close to it, along with having a great view.
Our least favorite seats
200 Level Outfield
Don’t get stuck in 207-209. A billion miles from the plate, and feels like you’re in a cocoon.
Upper Deck
The upper part of the top level is just too high – get in the lower part of the 300s if you’re sitting up here.
The Rockpile
Farther away from home plate than any other seat in MLB, and back-free benches at that.
Coors Field Seating Overview
Coors Field has three levels of primary seating for Rockies games: Field Level (100), Club Level (200), and Upper Level (300). Inside each of those levels there are further breakdowns that we’ll explain later in more detail, as well as tell you about the cheapest tickets, the most expensive premium tickets, and the Rooftop – the largest bar in the state of Colorado.
100 Level Baseline Boxes (Sections 110-150)
You can’t beat the views from the field level baseline boxes. You can hear the players, catch foul balls, and feel like you are close to the action. Because you are.
The Rockies break the baseline boxes down by how close you are to home plate, and how close you are to the field. There are as many as 38 rows in these sections, and being in row 7 isn’t the same as being in row 37.
The Rockies seating chart breaks down these seats into four different zones, but that has to do with their pricing structure, not any actual difference in the seats. The reality is that all of these sections are exactly the same: they are 100 level seats with no obstructions. Obviously seats closer to home plate and lower to the field will be more expensive. When it comes to picking one, we say just buy the best seats that your budget will allow or that meet your preferences.
Having said that, keep in mind that because these sections have close to 40 rows, being close to the field does put you quite a few stairs away from the restrooms and concession stands. You also will get no protection from the weather, and the sun here in Colorado is very bright. Bring your sunscreen.
Closer to the top you can find an overhang that will provide some shade along the third base line. As the sun moves across the sky, right and center field will be in the sun the entire day, the first base line will be in the sun later in the day, and you will find some shade down the third base line.
100 Level Right Field Boxes (Sections 105-109)
These are the sections in right field that sit directly above the large out-of-town scoreboard. And if you are in the centerfield section (105) of the right field boxes, you are next to the Rockies bullpen. The visiting bullpen is just beyond that.
You are in prime home run territory in these seats, completely in the sun as long as it is up, and at only 14 rows, you’re never far from the concessions above you on the main concourse.
100 Level Field Pavilion (i.e. Bleachers) Sections 151-160
While the Rockies call these sections the “Left Field Pavilion,” we have a more accurate name for them: the bleachers. And that’s because you’re sitting on metal benches.
The pros of sitting here is that a) you are in the home run zone, b) if you are with children you are close to the two playgrounds as well as the children’s concession stand, and c) you are near the best place to get a sundae in a batting helmet at the ice cream stand behind section 151. They’ll let you build your own sundae with a full toppings bar.
The downside of sitting in the bleachers is that you are sitting on benches, most of which have backs, but none of which have arm rests. You are also wide open to the elements. If it’s sunny, you will be hot. If it’s cold and windy, you will be cold.
But for most weekday games it tends to be one of the least populated parts of the park, so the lines for the restrooms and concession stands are usually shorter.
100 Level Left Field Standing Room (Behind Sections 151-160)
There are tables and rails all throughout the park, but one of the two main places for standing room is directly behind the Left Field Pavilion. The pavilion seating runs 23 rows deep, so standing at the top of the section does put you a significant distance off the field.
However, if you like to walk around during the game, this is a good place to base yourself. You’re a quick walk to the main concourse behind the third base line, or only a short distance to go around center field and over to the concourse behind right field. And you can hang out here no matter what ticket you’ve purchased, so if you’re an SRO person, just grab the cheapest ticket you can find and make yourself at home here.
200 Level Mezzanine (Sections 201-209)
The 200 Level Mezzanine runs from center field (201) to just beyond the right field foul pole (209). Sections 201 to 204 are behind the bullpens, so if you are sitting in the front few rows, you can see the pitchers warming up. You will also see the bullpen staff retrieving hats and other things that fall from the stands no less than five times per game.
Sections 205 to 209 are above the 100 Level Right Field boxes and have easy access to the concession stands on the main concourse.
If you are sitting closer to center field, you have quick escalator access to the rooftop, and you are sitting in front of the Casamigo Sky Deck, the bar at Coors Field that serves a purple Rock-rita.
The proximity to the bar and concessions, as well as cover from the deck above you (Rows 7 and above), is the major advantage of these seats. Otherwise, you are quite a distance from the field, and views of the game aren’t good. It’s a lively area on a Friday or Saturday night, but it can be a dark, empty place during the day or with a small crowd.
And definitely avoid 208 and 209 in the right field corner. Even in the front of these sections, you are off the field and in the poorly-lit gloom. The seats in this isolated corner of the field are some of the worst in the ballpark.
Casamigos Sky Deck Seating
Just above Sections 201 to 203 is the Casamigos Sky Deck, which is generally reserved for groups of 20 or more. There are bar tables, chairs, and a relaxed atmosphere for watching baseball. The Sky Deck is also in the shade, which can be great for day games, but a little dark for night games.
Individual game tickets are sometimes sold when the area isn’t booked for a group, but even then they aren’t made available online – you’d have to call the Rockies to buy them. Do we think it’s worth that kind of effort? Maybe if you have a small group and would like to have some semi-closed off space. Having to call the box office to ask about tickets is annoying, but if you’re the type who doesn’t mind such inconveniences, then sure… go ahead: 303-Rockies.
200 Club Level (Sections 214-247)
Club Level seating is just above the Field Level, and for my money, they provide the best view in the park. You are elevated enough to see the entire field well, but still low enough to be fully engaged with the game.
The seats are larger and more comfortable, and the sections are no more than 13 rows deep, so you’re never too far from the front row or the concessions behind you. Inside the air-conditioned club concourse (a godsend in August) you’ll find multiple carving stations serving tri-tip sandwiches, and there is a build your own nachos bar and baked potato bar, as well as two large full-service bars.
But keep in mind: even though this is a “club” level, no food or beverages are included with your ticket. All of the concessions on the club level are a-la carte, and there are far more options available on the main concourse. The quality of the food is not why you choose these seats.
All seats on the club level do have in-seat wait service, and they all also have full access to the entire club level concourse. So if you’d like to sit on the club level, but are also trying to keep the cost down, look for seats further down the baselines in the outfield.
300 Level Lower Baselines (Sections L311-L346)
Not all upper deck seats are created equal at Coors Field. Sitting in the L300s makes a big difference in your perspective of the field. L stands for lower, and these seats are a walk down the steps from where you enter the section.
From L311 in the right field corner, to L346 in the left field corner, the sections are never more than nine rows, and most of the sections are fewer rows than that. These seats keep you close to the front of the upper deck, and never too far from the tunnel out to the concourse.
When sitting in right field, you have great views of the mountains and sunset, and a great view of the field. You’re also low enough to be in the foul ball zone. In my opinion, if there is a realistic chance that you can catch a ball, you are not too far from the field.
Way out in L346 is pretty far away, and it can be very cold and windy. But closer in, you’ll have good seats.
In general, the obvious rules apply: if you’re going to sit up here, get as close to the infield as you can, and in the lowest row you can.
300 Level Upper Baselines (Sections U310-U347)
The U stands for upper, because you have to walk up to your seats from the entrance tunnel. And while the L300s stop at Row 9, these sections go all the way up to Row 25.
Some people love the idea of sitting in Row 20, which is the purple row in Coors Field that designates exactly one mile above sea level. But what we suggest is that you get to the park early, walk up to the purple row and take your pictures, and then go back to your seats in the first five rows to watch the game.
It’s a fun view of the mountains out the left field wall, and downtown Denver behind you. But after three minutes you’ve seen it. Watch the nine innings of baseball from down lower.
300 Level Rooftop Seats (L301-L309)
Most people associate the Rooftop at Coors Field with the rows of standing room rails directly in front of the multiple bars. But there are actually reserved seats to purchase on the Rooftop directly in front of the drink rails. Many people with SRO tickets think that the five rows of seats in sections L301 to L309 are open seating. Those people are incorrect.
If you want to be on the Rooftop and you want to sit, these seats are ideal. You can be in the fray if you want, or you can retreat to the safety of your seat.
Just be aware that if it’s a Friday or Saturday night, the standing room only crowd will be big. The walkways will be crowded. The lines for the bars will be substantial. So sitting on the Rooftop may not be what you like in a baseball experience, and definitely not if you’re with children.
300 Rooftop Standing Room Only
The Rooftop is 38,000 square feet of bars, restaurants, numerous televisions, cabanas with couches and more televisions, and nine seating sections-worth of rails spread out over two levels.
The anchors are the Silver Bullet Bar, the Jack Daniels bar, and Smashburger. But there are also as many as six other portable bars on a given night, a taco stand, and the only field-facing concession stand in the ballpark. And out in the main concourse behind Section 312, another row of other concessions begins.
For $16 you can buy your rooftop SRO ticket which comes with $6 of food and drink credit. So get your drink(s) – the two hours before first pitch the Rooftop has 12 oz domestic drafts for $3 – belly up to the rail, and grab your spot for the night.
TSI TIP: Most of the rails are made of wood and are just a place to set your drink. But there are two rails in front of the Silver Bullet Bar that have cell phone charging pads and cup/can holders that chill your drink. These go fast, so get there early.
TSI TIP II: For many home games, there is open seating in sections U310 to U314. So if you do get tired of standing, you at least have an option to go take a load off for a while. But when the Dodgers, Yankees, or Red Sox are in town, or it’s fireworks night, there is no open seating in the ballpark. An SRO ticket means you’re standing. The availability of the seating will not be announced until the day of the game, and it’s first-come, first-serve.
Rockpile (Sections 401-403)
Buying tickets to the Rockpile is highly recommended. Presales are from $10 to as low as $5, depending on the day and opponent. On game day, the tickets go on sale at the center field gate two hours before the game, and they cost $4 per ticket, or $1 for children under 12 and adults over 55. You are not allowed to buy more tickets than people in your party, so make sure everyone is there.
But we mean that literally: ”buying tickets” to the Rockpile is recommended, because now you are in the park for pocket change. Actually sitting in the Rockpile, however, is another story. These are bleachers, with no backs, and with no arm rests. It’s like sitting in an old high school football stadium. The food options at the Rockpile are limited to standard ballpark fare. If you want something more interesting, you have to walk further down the concourse.
You are in deepest center field, and the distance from home plate to the top row of the Rockpile is 600 feet – the farthest seats from home plate in all of Major League Baseball. You are also completely unprotected from the elements.
So buy a Rockpile ticket, then go up to the Rooftop, or hang out in the SRO area behind the left field bleachers. Far more bang for your buck, and a much more enjoyable baseball experience.
Toyota Clubhouse (Sections A-F)
The seats for the Toyota Clubhouse are on the field level in the first six rows behind home plate. You literally can’t get closer to the game at Coors Field.
You also have a private ballpark entrance, and a private restaurant and lounge underneath the stands that includes complimentary food, either in the restaurant or at your seat. The clubhouse opens 90 minutes before the game, but food service in the club starts only one hour before the game, and ends one hour after the start of the game (ballpark snacks continue to be served until the end of the 7th inning). For in-seat service, it begins at game time, and runs through the 7th inning.
On Fridays, the Clubhouse entrance to the ballpark will open at 4:30 for all 6:10 and 6:40pm games, and ticket holders are allowed onto the warning track behind home plate to watch batting practice. So Fridays are a particularly good day to splurge on these tickets.
But here’s what you don’t get with these seats: any booze. And for that matter, shockingly, you also don’t even get any bottled water (you’ll drink soda and like it!). Both of those are available for additional purchase, which, for a ticket price that starts at $300, we find to be pretty disappointing. In our travels, we’ve only seen a handful of MLB clubs that charge this much yet don’t include any alcohol (and the lack of bottled water is just downright weird and cheap).
We will have a full review of the club this summer, so for the moment we can’t give any advice on whether this is a good product or not. We really don’t love the exclusion of alcohol at this price. We’re not alcoholics, but booze is what tends to make these premium products more justifiable from a price standpoint. For a fraction of this cost, we can get an infield ticket, sit 15 rows from the field and eat ourselves silly on the general concourse.
We’ll add our full review as soon as we have it.
Legacy Club (between Suites 21 and 22)
The Legacy Club is on the suite level, just above the Club Level, and directly behind home plate. A ticket, which begins at $300 through the Rockies, but goes up for certain dates/opponents, gets you access to the climate-controlled club, and complimentary food and drinks, which includes select wines and beer, but no liquor or hard seltzer (which is available for purchase).
There are two rows of wider leather seats outside in front of the club and under the awning, which all have counter space in front of them for your food and drinks. There is also a row of railing seats with high-top stools along the inside of the club where there are retractable windows. In addition, there are tables and seats in the interior of the club (no view of the field) if you want to dine like civilized people rather than eating off of a railing.
The space itself is really quite nice. The capacity is only 55 people, and it felt very intimate and private. There’s a full bar, and waitstaff to deliver beverages to you in your seat. The staff was outstanding: very friendly, super attentive, and they helped make the experience really enjoyable. The food tables were constantly refreshed and cleaned, and the entire club was immaculate throughout the entirety of the game.
The buffet was really well done. The main buffet on the night we were there included:
- A charcuterie tray with meats and cheeses
- A fresh fruit plate with eight different fruits and berries
- A delicious spinach salad with tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, onions, and bacon
- Baked mac and cheese
- Grilled summer squash
- St. Louis ribs
- Beef tenderloin
On the other side of the club was the ballpark fare station, which included:
- Hot dogs
- Brats
- Pepperoni and cheese pizzas
- Make your own nachos bar (with guac)
- Make your own tacos (pulled pork)
The snacks stand included popcorn, M&M’s, and Reese’s Pieces that you can serve yourself.
The complimentary drink choices included Coors, Coors Light, Blue Moon, Colorado Native IPA, 14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, and Chateau Ste Michelle Rose. Other options were available for purchase, but we thought this assortment was completely fine.
And finally, there was a dessert stand, and every time they ran out of something, they’d replace it with something completely different! Which meant I was constantly keeping an eye on the waitstaff to see what was new. Through the course of the night I saw (and tried) chocolate eclairs, pecan pie, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, and cheesecake, but I unquestionably didn’t see everything (because I would have missed the entire game). I honestly could have spent all night eating desserts.
The main buffet ended at 8:00 (it was a 6:40pm start), but the side buffet of ballpark foods continued throughout the game.
So what was our verdict? 4.75 out of 5 stars. Fantastic staff, excellent food variety, very good food quality, fantastic desserts, beer and wine included, nice space, good view. We’ll knock .25 off for not including liquor at this price, but that’s a minor quibble, and not everyone even cares. I was perfectly happy with beer, but if you’re not, factor that into your buying decision.
Tickets for the Legacy Club are sometimes, but not always, available through the team on Ticketmaster, and prices start at $300. Sometimes you can find them on resale sites, and depending on the game, you might be able to get a better deal.
TSI TIP: If you’re going to buy a ticket for this club, make sure you’re sitting in the first two rows of seats (LC2, Rows 1 or 2), and not the third row of chairs with railings (LC2, Row R). The view from those seats simply isn’t very good, and your view will be compromised enough to affect your enjoyment of the game. And they don’t cost any less than tickets in the first two rows (at least through the team’s website).
Would we do the Legacy Club again? Yes! If you want to splurge on a fancy night of baseball, this is a good call, even though it’s pretty expensive. As long as you’re getting your money’s worth in food and beverage, it’s a solid experience. But… if you aren’t a big eater or a drinker, then you’ll be better off downstairs in the general bowl for far less money.
PNC Press Club
Located on the Lower Press Level and behind home plate, tickets for the PNC Press Club begin at $205. There is a private entrance and access to a complimentary buffet. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the ticket price, but are available at the cash bar. So at least this club’s lack of alcohol comes with a lower price tag, unlike the Toyota Clubhouse.
Stay tuned for our full review of the PNC Press Club.
Mountain Ranch Club
The Mountain Ranch Club in the right field corner is different from the Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille (see below), even if they occupy the same overall space. The Club offers field-facing table seating in the first four rows of the restaurant, with clear views of the field (these are stadium seating rows, so they are each a few steps above each other), and each table has its own TV. Tickets can be purchased for a single-game starting at $110 through the Rockies. Your ticket includes your access to the ballpark and your table in the club, which is your game ticket – you’ll watch the entire game from this location (but, of course, you’re free to go wander around the ballpark – the table will still be yours). It also includes an all-you-can-eat buffet and unlimited soft drinks in the club, but all alcoholic beverages cost extra.
You can only make reservations as a party of two or four, which can be done online here. If you have an odd-numbered or larger group, the only way to get a table is as a walk-in, where they will try to accommodate you if space allows.
While the location of the club in the right field corner isn’t the greatest, you do have a clear view of the field, and there’s nothing wrong with watching the game from here. But the main reasons you’d buy this ticket are a) so you can have a table space rather than a seat for the game, and b) for the buffet. (Or, perhaps, you’ll be at Coors Field early in the season when it’s cold, and you’d rather have a warm place to watch the game from. If the weather is cold, they’ll leave the retractable windows closed).
The buffet consists of ballpark fare that includes a charcuterie board, hot dogs and brats, a nacho station, pizza (cheese, pepperoni, and sometimes another specialty option), and a build-your-own burger bar. The chef’s rotating options the night we were there included Grecian chicken, grilled beef tenderloin, turmeric roasted potatoes, and a roasted vegetable medley. There were also cupcakes and macaroons for dessert.
So, this is an interesting premium ticket option. If you think that, based on the pictures, and the view, and the price, this is something that you’d like, go right ahead.
But, as you’ll read below, there’s another option where you can get the same all-you-can-eat buffet, plus a much better seat to the ballgame, for about the same price.
Restaurants
Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille
Unlike the Mountain Ranch Club, which is a premium ticket for the ballgame, the Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille is a dining product. In order to access the Bar & Grille, you need to have purchased a separate game ticket to get entry into the ballpark. But you can buy any ticket, no matter how cheap, and it will suffice. Or, you can buy a great ticket if you want to have a good seat for the game. It’s completely up to you.
So even though the Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille occupies the same space as the Club, the Club gets the front four rows of tables (with good views of the field), while the Bar & Grille tables are further back from the windows. Some tables and seats will have a clear view of the field, some will have an obstructed view, and some will have no view at all. It all depends on where you get seated, and you can’t reserve a specific table in advance: all you can do is ask (or hope) to be seated in a good spot.
So why would you consider this? Because the main point of coming to the Bar & Grille is for the buffet — which is the exact same buffet as the guests in the club are eating. Only, instead of a price starting at $110 (which does include your game ticket), the price for just the buffet is $32 for adults, and $17 for kids (12 and under). And did you see the list of foods above typically available at the buffet? Let’s list them again: a charcuterie board, hot dogs and brats, a nacho station, pizza, a build your own burger bar, and some rotating higher-end entree options. Plus desserts. Plus soft drinks (but no liquor is included – you have to purchase that separately). All for $32 for adults, and $17 for kids 12 and under.
This is a great deal!
But here’s the catch:
They have two available seating times for the Bar & Grille buffet: one from gates open until game time, and the other from gametime to game end.
If you book the one that starts when the gates open, you’ll be able to have a great pregame meal, and then head to your seat for first pitch. In which case, the view from the Bar & Grille tables doesn’t matter to you at all, because you’re not watching the game from that location anyway.
But… if you book the first pitch seating option, and they seat you in a crappy location, well… that’s a different story. Now this is suddenly a terrible product that we would wholeheartedly not recommend.
So what should you do? If you’re interested in the buffet but can’t get there early, you can take your chances: make a reservation (or just walk in), show up, and see where they seat you. If it’s a good spot, great… start your food engines. If you don’t like it, you can leave and go eat on the concourse and sit in whatever seats you purchased to get into the ballpark. It’s that easy.
Reservations can be made up to two days in advance of the start of a homestand on the Rockies website and from the Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille page here.
One more key difference to keep in mind: the Bar & Grille can accommodate groups of up to eight people (although the bigger your group, the more likely you will be seated in an area with no view of the field).
TSI’S Advice: If you are happy to watch the entire game from the outfield corner, and feel like eating yourself into a coma for four hours, and find the ticket price acceptable, then the Mountain Ranch Club is a completely fine decision.
But honestly, our choice would be to make a reservation for just the buffet at the Bar & Grille for the early seating, and then spend the remaining money on better seats. Or, if you prefer, on dirt cheap seats, and make this a low-cost, high-food-value night. Either way, you’re getting a great value meal, and your own choice of seat location.
Bottom Line
Coors Field is a beautiful ballpark, and choosing the right seat can actually make it a literally more beautiful experience. For the best views, you want to be on the first base line, facing the mountains, either on the 200 level or 300 level, or even on the Rooftop in right field.
If you’re looking for a fancy experience (with booze), the Legacy Club is pricey, but we think it’s worth it.
If you’re looking for the best view of the game, obviously the 100 level infield and shallow outfield are best, but the 200 club level may be the best view of all. That’s a great view, plus you’ve got the indoor concourse for those days where it’s toasty outside and you need a break.
If you’re looking for the party, it’s on the Rooftop, where the $3 domestic draft happy hour for two hours before first pitch will jump start your evening.
And if you just want the cheapest day at the ballpark, buy yourself a Rockpile ticket at the box office on gameday and go wander around the park all day. Hit the Rooftop, stand behind the left field bleachers, grab a beer at the Sandlot… go exploring.
