The Story of Ballpark
๐ญ
1860sโ1880s
Denver's Original Warehouse District
The area surrounding what is now Coors Field was part of Denver's earliest commercial and warehouse district, with rail connections bringing goods to the young frontier city.
๐ญ
1880s
Wazee Street Industrial Corridor
Wazee Street and the surrounding blocks became Denver's wholesale and warehouse district, filled with cast-iron-facade commercial buildings that still stand as some of Denver's oldest architecture.
Clark, Gruber & Co. โ Denver's earliest commercial brick architecture near the warehouse district
๐๏ธ
1950sโ1980s
Urban Decay
As industry moved out and downtown development stalled, the ballpark-area warehouses fell into disrepair. The neighborhood was largely empty and underutilized for decades.
๐๏ธ
1993โ1995
Coors Field Built
Coors Field was designed by HOK Sport and constructed from 1993โ1995 at the corner of 20th and Blake. The stadium was intentionally designed in a retro-classic style to complement the historic brick neighborhood.
โพ
1995
Coors Field Opens โ Neighborhood Revives
Opening day for Coors Field on April 26, 1995 marked a turning point. Within years, bars, restaurants, and loft conversions transformed the sleepy warehouse blocks into Denver's liveliest game-day district.
๐๏ธ
2021
McGregor Square Opens
McGregor Square, a 2-acre mixed-use development directly adjacent to Coors Field, opened in 2021 with a hotel, residences, restaurants, and an outdoor plaza that hosts year-round events.
