Coors Field Bag Policy and Storage Rules

Coors Field sits in Denver’s Lower Downtown/Ballpark Neighborhood. It’s home to the Colorado Rockies and one of baseball’s most distinctive stadiums. The ballpark opened in 1995. Denver is famously known as the “Mile High City,” and Coors Field celebrates its elevation with a purple row of seats located exactly 5,280 feet above sea level. The ballpark has 46,891 seats and a capacity of 50,144 when standing-room areas are included. Fans in the first-base and right-field areas can also enjoy views of the Rocky Mountains.

Before you visit, know this: if you’re carrying luggage or larger bags, you can find storage options near Coors Field. Understanding the bag and storage policies will help you get in smoothly.

There’s more than just baseball here. The Rooftop is a large entertainment area in the upper right-field deck with bars, food options, panoramic views, and standing-room space. Look for the purple row of seats at exactly 5,280 feet above sea level. The stadium also has the Rockpile, a section of bleacher seats in straightaway center field known for its low-cost ticket options. You can also visit The SandLot Brewery, located inside Coors Field and known as the birthplace of Blue Moon Belgian White. Guided Coors Field tours are available on select days and offer a behind-the-scenes look at the ballpark. Baseball fans also know Coors Field is hitter-friendly. At the park’s high elevation, the thinner air affects both batted balls and pitching.

Coors Field Bag Policy

Types of Bags Allowed

Coors Field has a strict bag policy. The stadium allows soft-sided, single-pocket bags and containers no larger than 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches.

There is no general clear-bag requirement. A bag does not have to be transparent as long as it meets the size and single-pocket requirements and is not otherwise prohibited.

Current game-day information also permits medical and diaper bags up to 16" x 16" x 8". All permitted bags are subject to search both when entering and while inside the ballpark.

Types of Bags Not Allowed

Backpacks and other multi-pocket bags, including multi-pocket purses, are prohibited, even if they are within the general size limit. Bags and soft-sided containers larger than 16" x 16" x 8" are also prohibited from entering the ballpark.

Hard-sided briefcases, hard-sided coolers, and hard-sided containers are prohibited regardless of size. Insulated coolers, cups, and thermoses larger than 22 ounces are also prohibited.

If you arrive with a bag that cannot be taken inside, Coors Field does have limited claim-check options. Some prohibited items can be claim checked after inspection, while oversized bags and hard-sided coolers or containers must be taken to the designated claim-check tent outside Gate E.

Coors Field Lockers

Coors Field does not advertise traditional self-service locker rentals, but it does provide claim-check and storage options for certain items.

Permitted items can be claim checked at the five main entry gates—Gates A, B, C, D, and E—subject to availability and inspection. Select prohibited items may also be accepted for claim check.

Bags and containers larger than 16" x 16" x 8", as well as hard-sided coolers and containers, may only be claim checked at the tent outside Gate E on the Wynkoop Walkway, after inspection. Guests assume responsibility for items left in storage.

Because this is not the same as a full-service luggage facility, visitors carrying suitcases or other travel luggage may still prefer an off-site storage service in LoDo before heading to the game.

Coors Field Transportation

Getting to Coors Field is convenient because the stadium sits in downtown Denver near Denver Union Station.

Rail service is one of the easiest options. Denver Union Station is served by RTD’s A, B, G, and N commuter rail lines and the C, E, and W light rail lines. Coors Field is a short walk from Union Station.

Visitors arriving from Denver International Airport can take the A Line directly to Union Station and continue to the ballpark on foot.

Bus service also provides several useful options. Current RTD connections include Route 52 at 20th and Blake streets and the RX at 20th and Larimer streets, while additional routes including 10, 19, 32, 120X, and others serve Denver Union Station. Check RTD’s current schedule before traveling because routes and service patterns can change.

Driving and parking is also possible. The Rockies operate official parking in Lots A and B, with more than 4,300 spaces in total. Parking rates vary by lot and game, and passes can be purchased in advance. Coors Field parking lots generally open 2.5 hours before first pitch. Only credit cards are accepted at official lot entrances.

For rideshare, the Rockies provide dedicated Uber pickup areas on game days. The exact pickup point can be checked in the Uber app, so don’t rely on one fixed street location for every event.

Coors Field Camera Policy

Coors Field allows still cameras and handheld video cameras for personal use. Non-commercial single-frame photography is permitted, and guests may use cameras as long as they do not interfere with the experience of others.

There is no current general six-inch lens limit in the Rockies’ published ballpark policy. The official rules do not generally prohibit cameras simply because they have detachable lenses.

However, tripods, monopods, and other single-, dual-, or three-legged camera supports are prohibited for guests who do not have media credentials. Selfie sticks are also prohibited.

Handheld video cameras are permitted, but live game action may not be recorded because MLB and the Rockies protect their broadcast rights. Commercial use, unauthorized transmission, or livestreaming of game information or footage is also prohibited.

Camera rules may be different for concerts and other special events, so always check the event-specific rules before bringing equipment.

Coors Field Food Policy

Coors Field allows guests to bring more outside food and non-alcoholic beverages than the original policy suggested. Food and non-alcoholic beverages are permitted as long as they are in individual-sized servings.

Food items may be brought inside, and fruits or vegetables that are grapefruit-sized or smaller are permitted whole. Larger fruits and vegetables must be sliced.

Factory-sealed plastic bottles are permitted. Empty reusable plastic containers are also allowed, and the Rockies’ current game-day guidance permits empty reusable plastic or metal cups and mugs. Insulated cups and thermoses are permitted when they are 22 ounces or smaller.

However, alcoholic beverages cannot be brought through the gates. Glass bottles and aluminum or metal cans are prohibited, as are hard-sided coolers and containers.

Inside the ballpark, you’ll find a wide variety of food and drink options, including traditional stadium food and gluten-friendly, vegetarian, and vegan choices at selected locations.

Coors Field is primarily cashless. Credit cards are accepted throughout the ballpark, although cash is currently accepted at a limited number of designated concession stands.

Other Coors Field Rules & Information

Beyond bags and food, Coors Field has several additional rules you should know.

Smoking and vaping are not permitted throughout the general areas of the ballpark, but Coors Field does provide designated smoking areas. These include designated locations on the Main Concourse, Club Level, York Space Systems Suite Level, Upper Concourse, and Rockpile. Electronic cigarettes and vaporizers may only be used in these designated areas. Marijuana use is prohibited everywhere at Coors Field, including the designated smoking areas.

Weapons are strictly prohibited, including firearms and knives of any size or shape. Fireworks, laser pointers, drones, bullhorns and other noisemakers, Frisbees, inflatables such as beach balls and balloons, and various other dangerous or disruptive items are also prohibited.

Not every bat or stick is automatically banned. Baseball bats may be brought in for autograph purposes but must be stored under the seat once the game begins. Brooms up to six feet long are allowed only on a day when the Rockies could complete a series sweep.

Children age 2 and under do not need a game ticket if they sit on the lap of an adult. Children who have reached their third birthday must have a valid ticket.

Re-entry is not permitted during Rockies games. Once you leave the ballpark, you cannot return using the same ticket.

All guests are subject to security screening. Permitted bags may be searched upon entry and while inside the ballpark. Guests also pass through metal detectors when entering.

Coors Field offers accessibility accommodations, including accessible and companion seating, accessible parking, restrooms, wheelchair assistance, and other services for guests with disabilities. Trained service animals are permitted.

Tips for Visitors

Before heading to Coors Field, check the official Colorado Rockies ballpark website for current information about policies, game schedules, and special events. The site has detailed stadium information, current security rules, transportation details, promotions, tours, and accessibility information. Concerts and other special events can have different rules from regular Rockies games.

A practical tip is to bring a soft-sided, single-pocket bag no larger than 16" x 16" x 8". You do not need a clear bag. Avoid backpacks and multi-pocket purses because they are prohibited even when they fit within the general size limit.

If you bring no bag or other items requiring inspection, express lanes are available at the gates. This can make entry faster, especially near first pitch.

If you arrive with an item that cannot enter the ballpark, remember that Coors Field has claim-check facilities. Select items can be checked at the gates, while oversized bags and hard-sided coolers or containers must be taken to the claim-check tent outside Gate E on the Wynkoop Walkway.

If you’re traveling with suitcases, backpacks, or other luggage and prefer a dedicated storage option, use Qeepl luggage storage near Coors Field. Qeepl lets you arrange storage before the game so you can leave larger belongings behind and head to the ballpark without carrying them. Storage costs US$7.39 per item per day, and luggage is protected by insurance coverage of US$1,000.

Arrive early, especially for popular games. Gates A and E generally open two hours before first pitch, while Gates B, C, and D open 90 minutes before first pitch. The Rockies recommend arriving early to avoid entry delays.
