Downtown Denver Is Getting Its Very Own Stadium District And It Looks Amazing

As if watching the Colorado Rockies play at Coors Field wasn’t awesome enough, it’s looking like heading down to LoDo to catch a game will be an entirely new experience in the near future. These changes are coming in the form of a massive “Stadium District” that will transform an entire city block next to Coors Field into a mixed-use area to be utilized as a gathering space before and after games.

The end result left the Colorado Rockies with a 99-year lease on the parking lot and a 30-year lease with Coors Field.
