One of the most common questions we receive in regard to Coors Field is where to find covered seats for Rockies day games, and fans have shared that this can really make or break a day at the ballpark. As such, you will notice that we have hand picked our recommendations for great views at Coors Field to correspond with better areas for finding relief from the hot summer sun in the mile high city.
Among the best options for watching a ball game from the lower level are found in the sections near the dugouts. On the third base side, sections 137-139 will have you closer to the visiting team dugout and provide excellent angles to the pitchers mound and the middle of the infield. A big advantage to being on the third base side is that the seats face east, putting the sun at your back earlier. The first base side (sections 122-124) features similar sight lines and will get you closer to the Rockies dugout, but you will have a longer engagement with sun to your face during day games. You can find overhead coverage in rows 32 and higher, and we don't recommend going lower than row 30 as the lower seats have less elevation above field level and longer walks to and from the concourse.
Seats behind home plate are a favorite among baseball enthusiasts thanks to prime views of pitches breaking across the plate and excellent angles to all areas of the field. Sections 129-132 at Coors Field provide that scout style perspective for an impressive viewing experience but there is little to find in the shade department during day games. As such, we recommend opting for rows 30 and higher here which give you a very good seating height and also keep you within a 10 row walk of the concourse.
If you're looking for a more affordable option on the lower seating, consider searching in rows 30 and higher of sections 112 and 113. These seats have no overhead protection and face the sun for the majority of a day game, however they are angled very nicely back towards the infield for a good viewing perspective. Stick to rows 30 and higher and you'll never be more than a 10 row walk to the concourse should you need a break from the sun on a day game.
The second seating tier (also known as the Wells Fargo Club level) offers an ideal seating height which gives great sight lines to almost any area of the field. Some of the best club level seats for watching a game are found in rows 5-13 in sections 225-226 and 235-236. Railings at the front of the sections are large and overhead coverage doesn't start until row 8, so the higher the better when sitting here. Smaller sections allow for shorter trips to the restrooms, and in-seat wait service lets you order food and beverage without having to leave the game. Avoid sections 227 and 234 whenever possible as additional railings on the home plate side of the sections lends additional distraction to your view of the game.
Other club level options with good views include the upper rows of sections 243 and 244 which have a nice natural line of sight pointed towards the back of the infield. These seats face east for less time with the sun, and in rows 8 and higher you will have very good overhead coverage from the 300 level sections above.
As the upper seating deck has little to no protection from the sun, it is difficult to recommend seats here when you want to be able to dial into the game without any distraction. However if you get priced out of the lower 100 level and second tier Club level, stick close to the dugouts on the upper deck and always opt for seats in rows 9 and lower which will keep you in the lower portion of the sections. Sitting in rows 10 and higher leaves you with aerial views and multiple railings impacting your sight lines.
