Coors Field / Colorado Rockies

Spend some time in Denver’s LoDo District and you’ll soon realize how homogenous the area is: the former warehouse area surrounding the train station is on a human scale (most buildings are three or four stories high), with darker brickwork the dominant architectural element. So the challenge facing the designers of Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies, was to build a ballpark on a scale that fit into LoDo while at the same time containing all the revenue-generating activities a major-league baseball team needs. By and large, Coors Field succeeds on both accounts: the ballpark doesn’t dominate the surrounding neighborhood, but it features all the bells and whistles you’d expect in a MLB park built in the last 15 years.
