Coors opened in 1995, becoming the first baseball-only NL ballpark since Dodger Stadium. It was one of the first HoK Retro Parks, with the typical red brick, green steel design that actually fits in nicely with the LODO (Lower Downtown) District. I took some pics of the exterior during a recent vacation in Colorado. Enjoy...

Besides the forest thing in the outfield, I hate the Coors Field interior. I really, really do. Nothing about it I like.Originally posted by Lafferty Daniel View Post
That being said, I frickin' love that clock. I just want to go to Colorado, get a giant ladder, and steal that clock and put it at the top of my house.Comment

Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot of with the Christmas lights on.
The LODO district was pretty nice. We checked out a lot of the local bars. All of them had really good deals for beer, which was a nice change from the LA bars.
Coors Field was one of those rare examples of a ballpark helping new development and gentrification. The LODO district used to be pretty shady, but now the place is filled with really nice condos, lofts, and restaurants.Comment

Agreed. It's been years since I've seen a game at Coors, so I can't remember the details of the interior except for it was bland, and they had a lot of empty seats.Originally posted by Wall-E View Post
Cool clock though.Comment

Since Coors is my favorite park in the Majors, I'll have to disagree. I love everything about it.Originally posted by Lafferty Daniel View Post
With Miller and Coors joining forces, is there any chance the name might be changed????
EDIT: I guess Miller Park would have to change its name too, so that would be unlikely.Last edited by skobabe8; 12-02-2008, 10:34 AM.Comment

I would be shocked if they changed the name. Denver is, and will always be Coors Country. It's not even the best beer in the area though. We went up to Ft. Collins one day to tour the New Belgium Brewery, and came away very impressed. We get Fat Tire and a couple of other New Belgium microbrews in California, but they had at least 12 different varieties at the brewery, and they were all very nice.Originally posted by skobabe8 View Post
As for the Coors Field interior, it's been done in just about every other HoK park since Camden. It's not bad, but it's also not interesting. Even the view of the mountains is pretty weak since most of them are behind 3rd base. What exactly do you like about the C.F. interior?Comment

Amazing how much it looks like Citi.
Nice pics.Comment

It's like Citi with a little bit of an West/South-Western feel. All Coors needs is a rotunda.Originally posted by Ralf View PostComment

the brickwork is really niceComment

Wow and hok park that looks like another hok park lol. I like coors field because it matches their downtown vibe and rejuvinated the area. Unlike ballpark at arlington which matches nothing and rejunivated nothing.The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.Comment

Well with Citi as with most future parks, they like to incorperate different elements of different parks into the new one.
Good picture set by the way, nice work! :applaud:Comment
