I’ve been going to Rockies’ games at Coors Field for over 10 years, and I never really paid any attention to any of the activities for kids at Coors Field. At least not until I had a kid of my own.
Now my son is 3 years old, and whenever I bring him to a game, picking the correct seat is one of the top things on my mind. So I wanted to put together this article to help other parents who have the same question as me: where is the best place to sit with kids at Coors Field?
The best place to sit with kids at Coors Field are in the seats in left field or center field. Typically, the best seats with kids at Coors Field are between sections 149 and 160.
These seats are the closest seats to all the kids’ activities at Coors Field. But the seat you choose is going to depend on what kind of activities your kids are looking to do. To help you make the best seating decision, I’ll cover all of the kids’ activities at Coors Field and where they are located.
The Playground is Located in Left Field
If your plan is to bring your kid to Coors Field to watch baseball, then avoid left field at all costs. Because once your kid knows about the playground in left field, they’ll ask you to go to the playground every 15 seconds – even if you’re on the other side of the stadium.
But if your kid is like mine and they love playgrounds, then choose a seat in section 149 or 150. The playground is located in the foul area in left field, directly behind sections 149 and 150.
And in case you’re wondering, a player won’t accidentally hit a foul ball into this playground area. This area is far enough away that any hit ball won’t reach this area.
Pro tip: When you’re at the playground watching your kid, stand next to the playground entrance that’s closest to the bathroom building. This is the only spot where you can see any of the field. All you can see is the hitter swinging at pitches, but it’s still better than nothing.
Buckaroos is Located in Left Field (Concession Stand for Kids’ Meals)
Buckaroos is a concession stand that is specifically for serving kids’ food, and it is located directly next to the playground.
So sections 149 and 150 are the best seats if you’re looking to sit close to a playground and a kids’ concession stand.
They serve food in cups, and the cups are probably about the size of a small fountain drink at McDonald’s or Burger King.
They have french fries, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, soft drinks, and bottles of water.
And I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the cost, too. During the 2025 season, I spent around $13 for french fries, chicken nuggets, and a 20-oz bottle of Dasani water. Not too bad!
Dinger’s Playground is Located in Center Field
Located directly in centerfield, underneath the Rockpile, there’s an area called “Dinger’s Playground”. This area is only for kids 42 inches and under.
If Dinger’s Playground is your kind of area, then you’ll want to have seats in sections 158, 159, 160, or get some Rockpile seats.
Dinger’s Playground has small, baseball-themed objects that kids can crawl over and slide down. There are objects in the shape of hot dogs, Rockies helmets, popcorn, baseball bats, and more.
This area also has some TVs scattered about, so parents can keep up to date with what’s happening in the game.
It’s also shaded from the sun, which is perfect for hot days (especially when there’s a breeze).
And directly next to this area is one of their broadcast areas, where they typically do the pre-game and post-game show. Sometimes, they’ll also broadcast those between-inning activities here.
Dinger Meets With Kids in Centerfield During the 3rd Inning
Dinger has been the mascot of the Colorado Rockies since 1994.
In the area behind the water fountains in center field, Dinger will meet with kids and take pictures with them during the 3rd inning.
So sit in section 159, 160, or get Rockpile tickets if you want to be close to the area where Dinger will meet with fans.
The line to meet Dinger gets pretty long, too. So make sure you get in line early.
The Interactive Play Area is Located in Right-Centerfield
There is an Interactive Area located in right-centerfield, directly behind the bullpens.
There are usually 3 interactive play areas here:
- T-ball spot for ages 6 and under
- Speed Pitch
- Bat Around
T-ball is free and it’s for kids who are 6 years old and under.
Speed Pitch and Bat Around both cost money.
If you want to be closest to this Interactive Area, then look for seats in sections 201, 202, 203, or 204. Section 160 or Rockpile tickets would be pretty good for this area, too.
The Center Fielder Typically Throws the Warmup Baseball to Sections 159 & 160
If you’re looking for seats where you might catch a baseball, sections 159 and 160 at Coors Field are great sections to sit in. Try to sit in row 2 for your best odds at catching a baseball.
Whenever the Colorado Rockies are warming up before an inning, the center fielder and left fielder play catch. Sometimes, the left fielder will throw the ball into the stands and sometimes the center fielder will throw the ball into the stands.
When the center fielder throws the warmup ball into the stands, they almost always throw it to section 160. Or at least that’s the section I’ve seen them throw it to the most.
Section 159 also gets some balls thrown from center field, but the lower seats in section 160 are the seats where the center fielder tends to throw the ball the most.
The Left Fielder Typically Throws the Warmup Baseball to Sections 149, 150, 151, and 152
It’s a little trickier to guess which section the left fielder is going to throw the warmup ball into the stands because he has options.
From what I’ve seen, the left fielder throws the warmup ball to section 152 the most. Followed by section 151, and then the very bottom seats of sections 150 and 149.
One time, I was at the very bottom of section 149, and the left fielder, Jordan Beck, threw a warmup baseball to me because I was holding my son. The ball hit the very tips of my fingers and went flying off under some nearby seats.
I was disappointed I didn’t get the baseball, but that’s the way it goes sometimes!
Bullpens Are Located in Right-Centerfield
If you love watching pitchers warm up in the bullpen, then sections 201, 202, 203, and 204 are where you want to sit. And you’ll want the front rows too.
But good luck finding any of those seats. These seats always seem to be sold out.
You could also try section 205 or section 105 and see if there are any seats along the railing. But these seats are also hard to find.
