Club Overview

The Colorado Rockies were founded in 1993 as an expansion team. The club reached its first World Series in 2007.

The Colorado Rockies are an MLB National League (West Division) team based in Denver, Colorado. Their home, Coors Field, holds 50,144 fans.

Seating Guide

A single row of purple seats (row 20) circling the upper deck marks the exact 5,280-foot (one-mile) elevation point — a unique MLB feature. The upper right-field area has a roughly 35,000-sq-ft standing-room party deck called “The Rooftop” (since 2014).

Cheer Culture

The 2007 ‘Rocktober’ run — winning 21 of 22 games in September and October to reach the World Series — remains the proudest moment in Rockies history. At the club’s 1993 founding, they adopted purple as an official color under the name ‘Purple Mountain Majesty,’ a shade almost unheard of in MLB at the time, and “Purple Monday,” started in 2012, keeps that identity alive with alternate purple uniforms worn every Monday home game.

RTD light rail (A/B/E/G/N/W lines) can take you to Union Station, which is 3 blocks from the ballpark.

The Rally Hotel (McGregor Square, 4-minute walk), The Curtis, and the Crawford Hotel (inside Union Station) are within walking distance.

🎟️ Tickets

SeatGeek has been the official resale partner since 2024 (replacing StubHub). Tickets start from $6, and mostly Friday/Saturday games with post-game fireworks tend to sell out.

💡 Insider Tips

Clear bags aren’t required — any single-compartment bag under 16x16x8 inches is allowed (backpacks and multi-compartment bags aren’t). The budget-friendly outfield “Rockpile” seats and the rooftop/picnic area both offer great views.
