Why this trip

Why this trip works.

Ride the train in from the airport, walk to the park, and make a night of LoDo's breweries.

  • No car needed: the A Line train runs from the airport to Union Station, a short walk from Gate A.
  • Friends weekend: LoDo around the park is one of the best pregame districts in baseball, packed with breweries.
  • Seats with a view: the upper-deck right-field sections have Rocky Mountain views on clear nights.
  • Your fan guide covers the altitude, the bag rule and the cheapest seats in the house.
Before you pick this tripThe altitude is real. Hydrate and wear sunscreen, because the mile-high sun sneaks up on you.

A rough plan

01

Arrive and settle in

Take the A Line from Denver International to Union Station and stay in LoDo.

02

Make time for the game

Check the official Colorado Rockies home schedule. Gate A is about a 5 to 10 minute walk from Union Station.

03

Leave room for the city

Find the purple mile-high row, then work your way through LoDo's breweries.

Just a sketch. Pick your actual game and travel dates when you plan.

The obvious base

LoDo / Union Station

Walkable to the game and the nightlife, so you won't need a car once you're in town.

The trade-off: The blocks by the park turn into a party before games.

Around the game

The purple row

Upper-deck seats marking exactly one mile above sea level.

A LoDo brewery

Denver is a craft-beer capital, and the pregame is all walkable.
