Coors Field Overview
Coors Field is the home ballpark of the Colorado Rockies, located in Denver, Colorado. The stadium opened in 1995 and seats approximately 50,144 fans. It sits at an elevation of roughly 5,200 feet above sea level and operates in the Mountain (MT) time zone. The playing surface is grass. It is an open-air ballpark fully exposed to local weather. From a hitter's and pitcher's perspective, the outfield measures 347 feet down the left-field line, 390 feet to left-center, 415 feet to straightaway center, 375 feet to right-center, and 350 feet down the right-field line. Its deepest posted distance is center field at 415 feet, while the most reachable corner is left field at 347 feet. As one of the 30 active Major League Baseball ballparks, Coors Field combines these fixed dimensions, its 5,200-foot elevation, and its open air configuration to shape how the ball carries, how pitchers attack the zone, and how run scoring plays out across a season. The Colorado Rockies compete in the NL West of the National League, and this venue serves as their fixed home environment for all home games on the schedule. Relative to a typical big-league outfield, the 415-foot center-field distance and 348-foot average corner here place Coors Field on the deeper, more spacious end of the league spectrum.

Handedness Analysis
Geometry-based read on how the park's dimensions play for each batter handedness.
Left-Handed Hitter Impact
With near-symmetrical corners (350 ft to right), left-handed hitters gain no pronounced pull-side edge; overall carry and weather drive their outcomes.
Right-Handed Hitter Impact
With near-symmetrical corners (347 ft to left), right-handed hitters gain no pronounced pull-side edge; overall carry and weather drive their outcomes.
Weather & Environment
As an open-air ballpark at roughly 5,200 feet of elevation, Coors Field is shaped by real weather. Warmer air and lower humidity let the ball carry farther, while cool, damp, or heavy marine air suppresses fly-ball distance. Wind direction matters most: a breeze blowing out turns fly balls into home runs, while an inbound wind knocks them down. Wind is a meaningful, regularly-felt factor here. These effects are evergreen tendencies; EdgeRanked layers live forecasts on top of them for game-day projections.
Ballpark Profile
Coors Field carries a distinct on-field character driven by its geometry, elevation, and exposure to the elements. The park stands at about 5,200 feet of elevation in Denver, Colorado, a factor that influences how far well-struck balls travel and how much break pitchers can generate. The corners are close to symmetrical (347 feet to left, 350 feet to right), so neither batter handedness gains an obvious pull-side advantage from the foul lines. Center field is deep at 415 feet, turning many would-be home runs into long outs and rewarding hitters who can drive the ball into the gaps for extra bases. As an open-air park, conditions here are shaped by wind, temperature, and humidity, so the same swing can produce different outcomes from a cool, heavy night to a warm, dry afternoon. On EdgeRanked's deterministic park-intelligence scale, Coors Field clearly favors hitters and run scoring, grading 79/100 for run environment and 80/100 for home runs. Its extra-base-hit environment rates 87/100, reflecting how the gaps and 415-foot center field reward doubles and triples, while pitcher friendliness sits at 28/100. The natural-grass surface plays at a conventional infield speed, with hop and reaction times typical of a grass field. With a seating capacity of roughly 50,144, the park's scale and configuration also influence foul territory and the overall feel of at-bats for both hitters and pitchers. Located in Denver, Colorado within the Mountain (MT) time zone, Coors Field carries an EdgeRanked weather sensitivity rating of 82/100, a measure of how much day-to-day conditions can move its scoring environment relative to other Major League ballparks. Signature characteristics include: Extreme altitude (~5,200 ft); Thin air reduces breaking-ball movement; Largest outfield in MLB; Humidor-stored baseballs. Taken together, these traits make Coors Field a unique environment within Major League Baseball, and they feed directly into EdgeRanked's park-aware projection, weather, and results coverage for Colorado Rockies games.
