Coors Field - Home of the Colorado Rockies and high-altitude effects

Coors Field opened in 1995 as the home stadium of Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies. Its elevation-around 5,200 feet above sea level-produces lower air density that has been documented to increase the distance batted baseballs travel, contributing to higher-scoring games and a historically elevated home run rate. The ballpark is located in Denver's Lower Downtown (LoDo) district and also hosts concerts and other events.
