Financing
The $215 million stadium was financed with a 0.1% sales tax on Denver-area residents to support bonds sold by the Metropolitan Major League Baseball Stadium District. The team invested $53 million. The district has been enlarged and the tax extended to help fund a new venue for the Denver Broncos. Pct. public: 75
Coors Field is located in a 25-square-block historic district in Denver known as lower downtown. The field is built on the Denver Union Railroad Depot, which opened in 1876.
Designed by HOK (now Populous) to simulate an old-fashioned ballpark, the facility offers a view of the Rocky Mountains past its left field fence and two huge murals created by local artists. It was built at a cost of $215 million, paid for with a sales tax increase and a $15 million contribution from the Coors family. The party suites hold up to 53 people and price is based on a per-ticket charge, which varies.
The stadium includes the Mountain Ranch Club, a patio and dining room that costs $2,000 per year for membership. The Front Range Bar & Grill provides a more affordable venue at $500 per year.
Picnic areas host groups of 50 to 500 at $29 per person, including food. The Warning Track Party room can handle crowds of 50 to 80 for $63 per person. (Baseball, Facilities, Financial, MLBVenueReport, Professional Sports)
