Denver: The Rockies Game

We went to our first Colorado Rockies' MLB game while we were in Denver last week. We've been to a few ballparks before, and always love a good game.

Coors Field, home of the Rockies is located downtown Denver and is an easy walk from most of the hotels.

It's a great stadium, which holds about 50,000 fans and was opened in 1995.

There isn't a bad seat in the house. We opted for Club Seating so that we could get the view we wanted. I positioned us strategically on the first base side, after reading that you get the best view of the mountain sunset from this area. It was indeed beautiful!

We took a good walk around the stadium. There were so many unique concessions to see games to play. It's a fabulous, family evening out.

We got lucky and there were several foul balls hit into the stands nearby. We had our ball gloves with us. (I definitely recommend taking your glove. You might catch a ball, but in the meantime, you can use it to hold your footlong hotdog.)

While I didn't catch a ball, it was really close. A gentleman just two rows back caught one. He was very kind and generous giving that ball to my son. It's a souvenir CJ will treasure!

The home team won this game. There was even a grand slam homerun! An evening to remember for certain.
