Coors Field is the 7.8th Best Stadium in the MLB 😉
- 5280 Baseball
- August 31, 2023
Despite the often lackluckster product on the field, Coors Field ranks near the top of most reviews of Major League Baseball ballparks for its location, view, and sunsets. I compiled reviews from a number of sites and here’s what they say.
The Rankings
I very unscientifically took the first 15 reviews from a Google search for “mlb stadium rankings”, averaged them all, and took a few notes if there were any meaningful comments on why Coors Field was ranked where it was. Here are the results that lead to the roughly 7 average.
Name | Date | Ranking |
---|---|---|
For The Win | 7/10/23 | 6 |
Sports Naut | 4/5/23 | 4 |
The List Wire | 4/5/23 | 7 |
Sports Illustrated | 3/28/23 | 7 |
Audacy | 3/8/23 | 9 |

Fox Sports | 7/20/21 | 2 |
Athlon Sports | 7/1/21 | 9 |

Bleacher Report | 7/6/20 | 10 |
The Things | 5/17/20 | 4 |
For The Win | 3/26/20 | 6 |
Maybe 2 from Fox Sports is a little high and maybe 15 from Ballpark Digest is a little low, but to each their own.
Analysis
How did these sites come to their conclusions?
12 of the 15 mentioned specific features of the stadium or area that contributed to their ranking.
Feature | Percent |
---|---|
View | 75% |
Location | 33% |
Sunset | 33% |
Beer | 25% |
Food 🤔 | 8% |
The only one I have exception with is the food, which is really nothing to write home about. But, otherwise, I can’t complain.
Yes, I’m biased and I’m sure I’m part of the problem not boycotting and continuing to go to games even when the management clearly doesn’t care about winning, but Coors Field is a great venue to watch a ball game and keeps me coming back.
