From under water to a mile high: The ancient history of Coors Field

Related Topics: Coors Field, Colorado Rockies

As the Rockies continue to celebrate their 30th season — including giving out a 30th-anniversary baseball card set to the first 15,000 fans on Sunday, May 28 — it’s hard to remember life before Denver got an MLB team. It’s even harder to imagine LoDo without Coors Field.

As the summer gets into full swing, it’s not only fun to think about Rockies history, but also the history of 20th and Blake Street — one of the best places on the planet to see a baseball game.

Complex and vast, the history of the location of Coors Field is often written about in terms of Wynkoop Brewery and the revitalization of a once-dying warehouse district.
