Best seats at Coors Field with kids: Why the Club Level is worth it

Welcome to SeatGeek Front Row, where SeatGeek employees share their best tips for getting the most out of live events. For this edition, Lead Content Strategist of Growth Marketing Hannah Kimnach breaks down why the Club Level at Coors Field is the best option for taking young kids to a Rockies game.

There are a lot of ways to experience a Rockies game, from the Rockpile to the Rooftop to right behind home plate. But if you're going with little kids, choosing the right seats is critical to helping ensure the ballgame memories are magical rather than miserable.

My family and I went to a mid-summer day game at Coors Field, and it was hot. The kind of Denver day where the sun is intense, the stadium seats radiate heat and having a toddler sitting on your lap makes it feel ten degrees warmer.

But even with young kids and the relentless Colorado sun, the day turned out to be far more fun and manageable than we expected. And most of that came down to our decision to sit in the Club Level seats at Coors Field.

Is the Club Level at Coors Field good for kids?

Absolutely. On a scorching summer day in the mile-high city, the Club Level at Coors Field was a lifesaver. Located on the second tier of the ballpark, the Club Level seats are outdoors, but the concourse is fully air-conditioned, a much easier way to handle a hot day with kids. With access to a variety of exclusive amenities, including premium concessions, full-service bars, private entrance, and comfortable club seating, there are perks for the whole family. Whenever our seats started to feel too hot, we were grateful for the quick indoor relief with crisp, cold air and a place to relax and reset before heading back out.

This reprieve mattered more than anticipated with young kids, especially if the goal is to stay at the game for more than just a few innings. Without a place to cool down, there’s a good chance our day at the ballpark would have ended much earlier. But easy access to the climate-controlled club area, just steps from our seats, helped prevent mid-game meltdowns and allowed us to last from the first pitch to the final out.

Mom tip: Freeze unopened plastic water bottles ahead of time to have ice-cold water during the game! This offers a refreshing way to keep everyone hydrated and cool, and ended up being an unexpected game-changer for the whole family.

Spacious and clean family-friendly bathrooms

Perhaps one of the most useful, and potentially underrated, perks of the Club Level is the bathrooms. The Club Level restrooms are exclusive to the level, meaning they're clean, they're air-conditioned, and there are essentially zero lines (crucial when toddlers need to go right away). Additionally, the changing tables were spotless, making diaper changes stress-free and easy. With all the frequent bathroom breaks that little fans need to take, you’ll be grateful for the Club Level restrooms that have you in and out without missing a beat.

Freedom for kids to roam with fewer people

Another benefit to the Club Level is that the concourse itself is much easier to navigate than the main concourse, a huge perk with young kids in tow. It's way less crowded, the premium concession lines move quickly, the environment is noticeably more relaxed, and the wider walkways give toddlers room to roam and move without weaving through a wall of bodies and objects. Not to mention the reduced anxiety about losing little ones in a sea of people.

The memorabilia walls are fun for kids

Another big hit of the Club Level was that the concourse was lined with Rockies memorabilia. The kids loved the variety of display cases, featuring throwback jerseys, franchise milestones, and team history.

There's something nostalgic about seeing the old uniforms, legendary players, and epic team moments that resonates with fans of all ages. We did a full lap of the concourse between innings, soaking up Rockies' history and the evolution of the team over the years.

For kids who don’t like to sit still for very long, this is an especially great feature. It’s convenient, it’s air-conditioned, it gets you up out of your seat, and it’s fun for everyone.

Mom tip: Turn the memorabilia lap into a scavenger hunt. Ask kids to find specific items, such as a jersey, a photo of a famous player, or a unique object. It buys you at least a full half-inning of entertainment.

View into the press and broadcast boxes

This one was an unexpected surprise.

The press box and broadcast booths are located on the Club Level behind home plate, giving fans a unique glimpse of the broadcasters and media members covering the game in real time.

It was especially fun for my son to get a firsthand look behind the scenes, with rows of laptops, stat sheets, monitors, and broadcasters working just steps away. He was fascinated by it all and wanted to know what each person was doing.

This was a really cool experience you don’t get anywhere else in the ballpark, and it made the Club Level even more exciting.

Mom tip: For the most visible activity, check out the press box during a pitching change or at the start of an inning, when there’s typically more movement behind the scenes.

Best Club Level seats with kids at Coors Field

The Club Level at Coors Field runs across the second tier in Sections 214–227 and 234–247. We sat in Section 245, on the third base side, which turned out to be great seats for a few reasons:

• The third base side gets more shade during day games. On a hot afternoon, that's an essential consideration.

• Rows 8 and higher get overhead coverage from the deck above. This means better protection from the sun or an afternoon rain shower.

• The seats are padded and wider with more legroom, which is useful when you have a kid on your lap and a diaper bag at your feet.

• There’s still a chance to snag a foul ball without the risk of getting hit. The elevated Club Level puts you close enough to the action for a ball to find its way into the section, while still far enough from the direct line of fire. Our son brought his mitt, and the prospect of catching a ball kept him engaged and paying attention to the game for far longer than if there hadn’t been a chance.

The sightlines from the Club Level are also excellent. They’re high enough to see the whole field, yet low enough to feel close to the action and energy.

Mom tip: Aim for row 8 or higher if you're going to a day game. The overhead coverage provides shade for most of the afternoon without giving up the view, and it puts you closer to the Club access.

Can kids meet Dinger at Rockies games?

Yes. Dinger, the Colorado Rockies' mascot, does a meet-and-greet for kids at every home game. You can find him on the main concourse in center field, just below the Rockpile. He’s there from the top of the third inning through the middle of the fourth.

This was the highlight of the day, getting a photo, an autograph, and Dinger’s own personalized baseball card. It's worth planning your inning around.

Mom tip: Get in line before the end of the 2nd inning to meet Dinger, as the line tends to get incredibly long and wait times can really add up.

Where to find kid-friendly food at Coors Field

Buckaroos, at Section 149, offers a variety of kid-approved, child-sized meals, drinks, and desserts. It's also right next to the left field playground, which is convenient for visiting both at the same time.

You are also allowed to bring your own permitted food, snacks, and drinks to the game. The Rockies allow snacks in individual portions, plus sealed plastic bottles brought in soft-sided, single-pocket totes. Diaper bags and milk are permitted as well, following their own policies, so make sure to confirm beforehand.

Mom tip: Packing familiar snacks that you know are a hit is a cheap, easy way to extend your time at the game and keep kids happy throughout.

Policies and amenities can change by season or game, so check the Rockies' official Coors Field policies before attending.

Does Coors Field have a playground for kids?

Yes. There are two play areas for kids at Coors Field, each intended for different age groups.

Dinger's Playground is a soft play area for the littlest fans. It's designed for kids 42 inches or shorter and is located below the Rockpile, inside the Platte River Picnic Area at center field. Kids can climb over, under, and through Rockies-themed play structures while parents watch the game on TVs throughout the area. It’s fully shaded from the sun, which is really nice, and it typically opens about 30 minutes after the first pitch.

The larger playground is in the left-field corner of the main concourse, behind Sections 149 and 150. This is better for bigger kids who've aged out of the soft play area, and it's steps from the Buckaroos concessions stand, so you can knock out lunch and a playground break in one trip.

Both play areas are a bit of a trek from the Club Level, but that helps to break up the day. Sit for a couple of innings, do a lap around the stadium to burn off some energy, grab some food, visit the play areas, and come back up to the cool air conditioning.

Mom tip: Save the playground trips for when attention is starting to fade, making them a fun distraction to help stay at the game longer.

Can kids get a First Game Certificate at Rockies games?

Yes, they can. If it's your child's first Rockies game, stop by Guest Relations in Section 127 to get a complimentary First Game Certificate. It's a sweet keepsake and a fun way to remember the day.

You can also download and print a customizable version of the First Game Certificate from the Rockies' website in advance.

Mom tip: Grab the certificate on your way into the game, preferably before first pitch. Guest Relations is quieter at this time, and there will be fewer people in line. Plus, kids' excitement levels are typically higher at the beginning of the game than at the end, when everyone is exhausted.

Can you bring strollers or diaper bags to Rockies games?

Yes, as long as they follow the venue’s specific policy, so be sure to confirm beforehand.

Strollers can be checked right at the entrance gate, which is incredibly convenient. Just hand it over, they give you a claim ticket, and it's quick, easy, and stress-free. You can also retrieve it and re-check it during the game if you want to walk the concourse with it. And picking it up at the end of the game on the way out is a breeze.

Diaper bags: All standard-size diaper bags are allowed, just make sure to review the specifics beforehand. They'll be inspected at the gate like any other bag, so pack it for easy opening and closing.

The stroller check was especially helpful to know about in advance. Not having to haul a full-size stroller up to the Club Level made it much easier to decide what to bring.

Policies and amenities can change by season or game, so check the Rockies' official Coors Field policies before attending.

Mom tip: Make sure to store your claim ticket somewhere safe and easy to access to help streamline the pickup process.

Do kids need their own ticket at Coors Field?

Children under the age of three do not need a ticket for Rockies games as long as they sit on an adult's lap. Children ages three and up must have their own ticket for a designated seat.

Mom tip: If your child just turned three, the Club Level’s wider seats make sitting three or four across feel much more comfortable and less cramped than in a standard section.
