Five Tips for Twins Fans Visiting Coors Field

The Twins open the second half of their 2025 season with a road series against the Colorado Rockies, and judging from anecdotal evidence, it’ll essentially feel like a home game. Twins Territory has settled on this being THE road trip this year.

Twins Territory is right. Whether you’re already booked, still thinking about it, or having regrets, read on for five quick tips based on my recent visit in May. 

1. Keep The Logistics Simple
One advantage Denver has over other cities is that the logistics for catching a game at Coors Field are very straightforward. Both Minneapolis and Denver are major hubs, making flights plentiful and affordable. There’s a train from the airport to downtown that’s just $10, or Ubers run about $40-50 but can be economical if you share with a group. Coors Field is located downtown, so hotel options are plentiful, and though they can be pricey, you won’t need to pay for a rental car. And tickets to the game are even more plentiful. Speaking of tickets…

2. Get Seats Along the Third Base Line (Especially for a Night Game)
If attending a night game, seats along the first baseline (home side) can have direct sun exposure until late evening. Consider choosing the visitor’s side along the third baseline to avoid squinting. For day games, know that there isn’t a “shady” or “sunny” side. Virtually the whole stadium will be in the sun, unless you’re under cover. (Aim for the back of the lower seats.) 

If you’re price-sensitive when it comes to the tickets, see the next tip.

3. PREGAME AT THE STADIUM AT LEAST ONCE!
(Caps are intended. I’m shouting at you.) Coors Field’s absolute best feature is its awesome two-level rooftop bar in right field, which offers $3 Coors and Coors Light drafts until first pitch. Gates open two hours early; arrive early to beat the crowds and enjoy stunning views of downtown and the mountains. (The picture above was taken from there.)

This area also doubles as a great place to socialize while watching the game if you purchase cheap tickets. They have rails that overlook the game (albeit from the upper deck), a full bar, and a selection of beers beyond the macro brews. But if you’re really interested in trying beers.... 

4. Explore Craft Beer Outside the Stadium
Funny, when your stadium is named “Coors,” the options within tend to be dominated by Coors products. Within the stadium, you can find a few exceptions, and I’d suggest you check out "The Sandlot" brewery in center field, where the original Blue Moon was brewed before it was named that. But even better, visit nearby spots like Westbound and Down (in an alley near the stadium), Our Mutual Friend Brewery (Rhino district), or Tap 14 (Blake Street), which isn’t a brewery but boasts dozens of local taps and rooftop seating.

5. Postgame on Blake Street
After the game, the action moves to Blake Street, directly adjacent to the ballpark on the downtown side. The most popular spots include Jackson’s and McGregor Square, but there is no shortage of other places, and many offer rooftop views. You may even see one flying a Twins flag—Swanky’s—but the truth is that they change their team flag depending on the visiting club. (It’s really a Wisconsin bar, so close enough?)

Bonnes tip: Play Coors Field’s Split the Pot
Hardly anyone participates in the "Split the Pot" at Coors Field. I’ve seen pots multiple times larger at spring training games. Therefore, your odds of winning there are comparatively fantastic. My wife won over $1,600 with her $20 entry in May, which covered our trip—plus more. 

Bottom line: you’re in for a memorable few days if you join the throng of Minnesotans this weekend. Enjoy your trip, cheer loud, and Win Twins!
