Ballpark
Coors Field's back yard, where old brick and new mid-rises meet the edge of RiNo.
Pricing trends
Ballpark prices sit a step below LoDo and the Union Station towers for comparable space, which is why buyers who want a downtown loft often end up here. The blocks closest to the stadium and Larimer Street carry the most noise and the most activity; the blocks toward Broadway are quieter and cheaper.

About Ballpark
The Ballpark neighborhood wraps the north and east sides of Coors Field, from the stadium to Broadway and from the LoDo historic district up toward the rail lines. It was warehouses and flophouses for a century, became loft conversions and bars after the stadium opened in 1995, and in the last decade has filled with mid-rise apartments and condominiums as RiNo grew next door. It is a neighborhood in motion, which is its appeal and its caution.
Location
Ballpark runs roughly from 20th Street to Broadway and Park Avenue West and from Larimer Street to the railroad, with LoDo to the southwest, Five Points and RiNo to the northeast and Curtis Park across Broadway. Union Station and the A Line are a ten-minute walk; the 38th and Blake station serves the RiNo side.
History and background
Where it sits. Ballpark sits just north of LoDo and surrounds Coors Field. Its edges meander between 15th and 18th Streets on the southwest, with the South Platte River to the north and west and Five Points to the east.
Ballpark is named for the baseball stadium, Coors Field, home to the MLB Colorado Rockies, at its center. It is more of a nickname than a line on the city map.
Its roots are industrial, and the brick warehouses show it. The building that houses Great Divide Brewing started out as a dairy processing plant in the 1920's. By the late 1980's the area was Denver's skid row, but the 1988 preservation ordinance, Wynkoop Brewing, and Tattered Cover's downtown store in 1994 started drawing people back.
Coors Field opened April 26, 1995. Local officials later said it acted like a gigantic marketing campaign that brought several million people through the area.
Why people like it. People like Ballpark for Rockies game days at Coors Field, craft breweries like Great Divide and Jagged Mountain, comedy at Voodoo Comedy Playhouse, coffee roasters and the mix of restored brick warehouses and newer lofts, all near LoDo.
Fun fact. The seats in the 20th row of Coors Field's upper deck are purple, marking exactly one mile above sea level.
Sources and caveats for this history
Housing and architecture
Loft condominiums in converted warehouses along Blake, Market and Walnut streets were the first wave, followed by 2000s loft-style buildings and, since 2015, a run of six- to twelve-story apartment and condominium buildings. Deeded parking, rooftop space and a balcony are the features that separate one unit from another in resale. The National Western and River North plans will keep adding supply to the north for years.
Parks and recreation
Coors Field is the neighborhood's identity, with eighty-one home games a season spilling into the bars on Blake Street. The Cherry Creek and Platte River trails are reachable through LoDo, and the RiNo Art District's murals and the new Riverfront parks planned around the National Western Center are the growing outdoor draw.
Dining, shopping and daily life
Restaurants, breweries and music venues line Larimer, Blake and Walnut streets, continuing into RiNo's Larimer Street row. Denver Central Market, a food hall, is a few blocks up Larimer, and the Great Divide and Our Mutual Friend breweries are neighborhood fixtures. Groceries mean the Whole Foods at Union Station or the King Soopers on Chestnut.
