If you've driven to a Friday night Rockies game, you already know how the story usually goes. The crawl down I-25 to Exit 213, the "Lot Full" signs on Wazee by 5:15 p.m., the $20 Lot A pass that sold out before you even got off the highway, and the post-game gridlock on the Park Avenue bridge while 47,000 people try to leave Lower Downtown at once. The last thing your group needs after nine innings is a 40-minute wait in a parking structure before anyone even gets on the road.
Coors Field sits at 20th and Blake in LoDo — right in the middle of Denver's densest entertainment district, which is part of what makes it one of the best ballparks in the country and one of the trickiest group transportation puzzles in the Rocky Mountain region. With just 4,300 official parking spots for a stadium that holds 46,897 fans, there is no "just park next to the stadium" solution for a group of 25. This guide answers the first-timer's questions with verified specifics: where the bus enters and stages, what parking costs, what I-25 does to your schedule on a sellout night, and what the LoDo rideshare restriction means for anyone planning to Uber home after a night game.

Why Rent a Party Bus or Charter Bus to Coors Field?
One bus handles everything a seven-car caravan can't. Split 30 fans across seven vehicles and you're coordinating which lot still has spots, which credit-card lane isn't backed up, who got separated at the Park Avenue off-ramp, and which of the seven drew the short straw on navigating I-25 home after the game. One Denver charter bus rental puts everyone on board at pickup and sets them down on Blake Street — together, on time, near the gate — while the bus stages nearby for a clean post-game departure.
Coors Field is a downtown ballpark inside a dense city neighborhood. That's not a bug — LoDo's bars and restaurants spill off Blake Street in every direction, and the stadium's brick exterior and mountain views make it worth showing up early. But "downtown" also means no sprawling stadium parking complex.
The 4,300 official spaces across Lots A, B, and a VIP valet lot fill early and exit slowly. Independent lots along Wazee and Market Street price up fast on promo nights and still leave you a 5–10 minute walk. A 56-passenger charter bus to Coors Field displaces up to 14 cars' worth of parking headaches off your plate entirely, for one flat rate your group splits evenly — and the per-person math is often closer than people expect.
And then there's the Friday- and Saturday-night LoDo rideshare restriction, which catches first-timers. More on that in a moment.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Coors Field
Charter buses and party buses drop off along Blake Street, the main approach to Coors Field's gates. Gate A — the primary entrance near right field, at the Lot A/Wazee side — handles most foot traffic from the official lots, with access from the Park Avenue West (22nd) and Wazee corridor. The officially designated accessible drop-off area is directly across from Gate B at 22nd and Blake Streets, per the Colorado Rockies' published transportation guidance — your group exits right there, steps from the gate, without a long walk from a remote structure.
Drop off on Blake, walk straight in.
For larger groups arriving on a full-size 40–56 passenger charter bus, the two main approach corridors into the official lots are 22nd Street / Park Avenue West at Wazee and 27th and Blake Street — the same corridors used for bus staging. The exact drop point can shift slightly by event date, so confirm your group's staging location with your booking when you reserve.
Bus Parking at Coors Field — The $30 Bus Rate and Lot Access
Charter buses park in Lots A and B — the official Colorado Rockies parking areas north of the ballpark behind right-center field. The published bus and RV parking rate is $30 per vehicle, at the lot entrances on Park Avenue West (22nd) and Wazee Street and on 27th and Blake Street. All lots open 2.5 hours before game time.
Advance bus parking passes can be purchased through the Colorado Rockies at (303) ROCKIES (762-5437) or via the official Coors Field parking page.
For context, a standard car space in Lot A starts at $20 and the covered Lot B garage starts at $18 — so the $30 bus rate covers one oversized vehicle rather than a per-seat charge. One $30 bus pass replaces up to 14 separate lot passes. Fourteen cars at $20 each comes to $280 in lot fees alone — and that's before counting the gas, the split arrivals, or the 40-minute post-game crawl through the parking structure.
For most groups of 15 or more, the bus doesn't just save hassle; it saves money.
Charter buses park in Lots A and B at $30 per vehicle — accessed from Park Avenue West (22nd) at Wazee or from 27th and Blake. Advance purchase is available through the Rockies at (303) ROCKIES (762-5437). On sellout and promo nights, bus staging space in the lots is limited, so securing it in advance is the right move.
The LoDo Rideshare Restriction After Night Games
Here's the detail that catches groups who plan to rideshare home after a Friday or Saturday night Rockies game. Starting in July 2024, Denver police banned Uber and Lyft pickups between 18th and 21st Streets along Blake and Larimer Streets, from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, per the Denver initiative covering the LoDo and Ballpark District. A Saturday night game starting at 6:10 p.m. ends around 9:30–10:00 p.m. — landing your group squarely in that window, in that zone.
The alternative is designated rideshare pickup zones one to two blocks away, with Denver Police stationed at each. On a busy Saturday post-game with surge pricing running, your group walks a couple of blocks in different directions, waits for separate rides, and reassembles somewhere down the road. A private bus already staged nearby — with a pre-set pickup point at 22nd and Blake — solves this completely.
Everyone exits the same gate, boards the same vehicle, done. That single fact is worth calling about: 983-587-6420.
Coors Field Transportation: Every Option Compared
Denver has reasonable transit options and this is a bus-comparison website — not every group needs a charter bus. Here's an honest breakdown of how the main choices stack up for a Rockies trip.
| Option | Cost shape | Group arrives together? | Drop-off point | Post-night-game exit | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split across the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Blake St at 20th or 22nd, steps from Gate A or Gate B | Best — bus stages nearby, exits via Wazee/Speer while Park Ave gridlocks | 15–56 |
| RTD A Line + walk | ~$10.50/person each way from DIA; free from Union Station area | Only if everyone boards together | Union Station, 7–10 min walk to Gate B | Good — but Fri/Sat 10 p.m. LoDo restriction affects the walk-out zone | 1–4 people |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | Per car each way + post-game surge | No — multiple ETAs, multiple vehicles | Blake St or 20th St drop-off zone | Poor Fri/Sat — LoDo ban forces 2-block walk to pickup zone, then surge pricing | 1–4 per car |
| Everyone drives and parks | $18–$35/car in official lots + gas | No — cars split up and arrive separately | Varies by lot; Lot A closest to Gate A | Slow — Park Ave bridge backs up 30–45 min post-sellout | 1–2 cars, small groups |
For one or two people staying downtown, RTD's A Line from DIA and a 7-minute walk to Blake Street is the cleanest move — no reason to charter a bus for a pair. Once your party grows past a few cars' worth of people, the coordination calculus tips decisively toward one vehicle with one pickup, one drop, and one pre-set post-game meeting spot.
RTD Light Rail and the Free 16th Street MallRide Shuttle
RTD's University of Colorado A Line connects Denver International Airport to Union Station in about 37 minutes, with trains running every 15 minutes during daytime hours at roughly $10.50 per person each way. From Union Station — about 4 blocks and a 7–10 minute walk northeast along Wynkoop or Blake Street — you're at the ballpark. For downtown hotel guests, the free 16th Street MallRide shuttle stops at Market Street Station, a short 4-block walk from Gate B. Full schedule information is at RTD's schedule page.
The RTD math works perfectly for individuals and small parties flying in from DIA: about $21 round-trip per person, no parking, no traffic. For a group of 25 flying in together, that's over $500 in rail fares one-way — for 25 people who then need to coordinate arrivals, regroup at Union Station, and walk to the park with bags. A single Denver airport transportation run in one charter bus is usually both simpler and cheaper at that group size.
The Denver International Airport shuttle guide breaks that run down in full.
What Size Bus Does Your Coors Field Group Need?
No two Rockies groups are the same. Are you picking up at a single hotel or making multiple stops across Denver? Is the group a corporate outing where a clean, quiet ride matters, or a birthday celebration where the bus is part of the event?
The full vehicle lineup covers every option, but here's how the main choices line up for a Coors Field run.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Luggage/gear | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to 14 | Light | VIP groups, suite holders, small executive parties | Premium leather, USB charging at every seat, tinted privacy windows |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | 15–50 | Onboard, lighter | Birthday groups, fan groups, celebrations | Color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, wraparound seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | 15–35 | Overhead bins + some underfloor | Mid-size groups, hotel-to-gate shuttles, corporate hospitality | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Excellent — deep undercarriage bays | Large fan groups, corporate outings, multi-pickup runs | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
A 25-passenger party bus or 30-passenger party bus is the most-requested size for Rockies birthday outings and corporate hospitality groups — squarely in the middle of the range, fits most dinner-plus-game itineraries, and the LED lighting and sound system make the ride itself part of the evening. For 40 or more, a full 56-passenger charter bus gives you deep undercarriage bays for any gear, onboard restrooms (critical on the drive back from an extra-innings game), and enough room for a full corporate party or a large fan group. A 15–35 passenger minibus is the right fit for hotel-to-gate shuttles and corporate transfers where climate control and plush seating matter but the full party-bus footprint doesn't.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — just note the need in your quote request.
Coors Field Charter Bus & Party Bus Rental Prices
Partybusrentaldenver.net connects you to a large network of bus companies serving Denver, so you can compare party bus and charter bus rates for Coors Field in under 30 seconds — no account required. There's no single sticker number, because the quote is shaped by a few clear factors: vehicle size, total hours including any wait time at the game, your pickup location across Denver, and the date.
To give you a planning range: a 15–35 passenger minibus typically runs $200–$250/hour on weekdays and $200–$275/hour on weekends. A 25-passenger party bus runs roughly $250–$375/hour on weekends. A full 40–56 passenger charter bus typically runs $200–$350/hour any day of the week — the per-seat economics improve sharply as the group grows.
Actual pricing varies with your date and itinerary; these are planning ranges to give you an idea before you call.
The per-person math usually surprises groups: 20 people each paying $20 for Lot A parking is $400 in lot fees alone — plus gas across multiple vehicles, plus the post-game wait. A Denver party bus rental for the same group for 4 hours might run $800–$1,100 total, or roughly $40–$55 per person, with drop at Gate B, no parking pass, and a pre-set post-game pickup when the game ends. The Denver party bus prices page has the full breakdown.
Or call 983-587-6420 any time — pricing in under 30 seconds, no obligation.
A Coors Field Game-Day Example
To give you an idea: a 22-person corporate group books a 25-passenger party bus for a Tuesday night game. Pickup at 5:30 p.m. from a Cherry Creek office, on Blake Street near Gate B by 6:15 p.m. — 55 minutes before first pitch. Bus parks in Lot B at $30.
Final out at 10:00 p.m. — bus picks the group up at 22nd and Blake, exits via Wazee south to 15th Street, out to Speer Boulevard. Rolling before 10:20 p.m., while Park Avenue is still backed up three blocks. A 5-hour rental at that size comes to around $1,250–$1,750 total — roughly $57–$80 per person, with parking, routing, and post-game exit all sorted.
Getting to Coors Field: Routes, Traffic, and the I-25 Approach
Coors Field's LoDo location puts it right in the middle of Denver's densest traffic grid, and every main approach has its own game-day quirk.
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time (off-peak) |
|---|---|---|
| Denver International Airport (DIA) | ~22 miles | 30–40 minutes |
| Cherry Creek / Glendale | ~5 miles | 10–20 minutes |
| Denver Tech Center (DTC) | ~12 miles | 20–30 minutes |
| Boulder | ~35 miles | 40–55 minutes |
| Fort Collins | ~65 miles | 65–80 minutes |
| Colorado Springs | ~65 miles | 65–80 minutes |
Those times expand on game days — particularly on weekday evenings, when the ballpark game starts as Denver's rush-hour traffic is peaking on I-25. From the north, west, or east: I-25 to Exit 213 (Park Avenue West) is the main stadium off-ramp, and it backs up fast. Budget 30 extra minutes from any south Denver or suburban starting point on weeknight games.
From the south: I-25 North to Exit 207A (Broadway/Lincoln) feeds you into the ballpark neighborhood from a different angle without joining the Park Avenue press at Exit 213. Friday night games competing with mountain-weekend traffic on I-70 westbound can push those times further — if your group is leaving Denver proper after 3 p.m. on a Friday, build in extra cushion.
Arriving 90 minutes before first pitch is the baseline. On sellout nights, bobblehead giveaways, and the July 4th fireworks games, the official lots fill 45 minutes before the stadium opens — and the first wave of "Lot Full" signs hits before Gates B, C, and D even open.
Denver International Airport to Coors Field
DIA sits about 22 miles from Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205) — a 30–40 minute drive off-peak via I-70 West to I-25 North, Exit 213. On game-day evenings, I-70 westbound from DIA and the I-25 merge both slow, so groups flying in same-day should budget closer to 50–60 minutes. RTD's A Line runs the airport to Union Station in 37 minutes at about $10.50 per person, which is a clean solution for individuals or small parties — but for a group of 20 flying in together with checked bags, one coordinated bus from the terminal curb to Blake Street beats rail math, transfer logistics, and the 10-minute walk to the gate with luggage.
The DEN airport shuttle guide walks through both options in detail.
After the Game at Coors Field: Exiting LoDo
Getting out of LoDo after a Rockies game is where the parking math really lands. When the last out is recorded and 46,000-plus fans head for the exits simultaneously, the Park Avenue bridge feeding I-25 North backs up for 30–45 minutes on sellout nights — longer after fireworks shows, which hold the entire crowd until the display ends. Rideshare demand spikes hard as the final out registers, and on Friday and Saturday nights, the LoDo restriction means no Uber or Lyft pickup between 18th and 21st on Blake and Larimer until 3 a.m.
Groups relying on rideshare have to walk one to two blocks to designated pickup zones and compete for surge-priced cars.
The smarter post-game exit for vehicles is via Wazee or Wynkoop south to 15th or 16th Street, then out to Speer Boulevard — it clears faster than the Park Avenue press and avoids the main post-game bottle. A private bus uses that route while your group recaps the game on board, bypassing the gridlock before most cars even clear the lot.
With a private Denver charter bus rental, you set the post-game pickup window in advance — same spot, same corner, the bus is already staged when you walk out. The difference between a 40-minute parking-structure crawl and a 10-minute exit is almost entirely about having a vehicle with a plan. Call 983-587-6420 to lock that plan in.
Coors Field Policies Every Group Should Know
No tailgating — full stop. The Colorado Rockies prohibit tailgating at Coors Field and in all surrounding parking areas. No grills, no pregame setups in the lots.
This is a meaningful difference from stadium-lot experiences at some other venues. Plan your pregame at one of the Blake Street bars nearby — Wynkoop Brewing Company is two blocks away, and the Sandlot Brewery inside Coors Field has been a fixture since the stadium opened in 1995.
Bag policy. Coors Field allows soft-sided, single-pocket bags up to 16" × 16" × 8". Notably, clear bags are not required — opaque bags are fine as long as they fit the size and single-compartment rules.
Small clutch purses up to 6" × 9" are also allowed. Multi-pocket bags and backpacks are prohibited. Bag storage is available at all entry gates.
Verify the current policy at the Coors Field ballpark guide before your visit.
Gate opening times. Gates A and E open 2 hours before first pitch, giving early arrivals batting practice access in the outfield Pavilion and Rooftop. Gates B, C, and D open 90 minutes before first pitch.
For a 6:40 p.m. weeknight game, Gate A opens at 4:40 p.m. — build your bus pickup time around the gate and arrival experience your group wants. Times may vary for rescheduled games or special events, so confirm at the official Coors Field transportation page.
Accessible drop-off and parking. The official accessible drop-off is across from Gate B at 22nd and Blake Streets. Accessible parking spaces are in Lot A adjacent to Gate A on a first-come, first-served basis.
Elevators, ramps, and escalators provide access to all venue levels from Gates A and E.
What's Happening at Coors Field in 2026
The 2026 Colorado Rockies home season opened April 3 against the Philadelphia Phillies and runs through late September — 81 home games, plus stadium concerts and events in between. Several dates push LoDo group transportation to its limits and are worth knowing before you pick up the phone.
City Connect Fridays — every Friday home game features the Colorado sunrise/sunset City Connect jerseys, making Friday nights the most popular game-day option for groups. Friday games that start at 6:10 p.m. end squarely in the LoDo rideshare restriction window, which is exactly the scenario a party bus rental in Denver was built for.
July 3 and July 4 fireworks games are among the highest-attended regular-season dates. Post-game fireworks shows add 30–45 minutes to the LoDo exodus and make Lot A and Lot B exits exceptionally slow. Book group transportation for these dates at least 3–4 weeks out — demand on fireworks nights is real.
For the full fireworks schedule, check the official Rockies fireworks page.
Promotional giveaway nights — bobblehead nights, jersey giveaways, the Dinger bobblehead on June 7, the City Connect Mystery Player Jersey on July 17 — consistently push attendance near capacity, and Lot A passes reflect it. The first 15,000 fans get the giveaway item, which means groups aiming for early entry and batting practice need Gate A access at the 2-hour-before mark.
Stadium concerts at Coors Field draw the biggest touring acts — the venue's 50,000-plus standing-room capacity puts it in the top tier of Colorado concert destinations. Concert nights follow the same LoDo logistics as Rockies games, with shows typically running later than a baseball game and pushing groups deeper into the LoDo restriction window. For concerts, the Denver concert bus rental page covers what to expect for that specific trip type.
For the full home schedule, see the official Colorado Rockies schedule.
For July 4 fireworks, City Connect Fridays, and bobblehead giveaway nights: book your Coors Field party bus or charter bus at least 3–4 weeks in advance. Those dates push demand across the Denver network, and the right-size vehicles go first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Coors Field?
Charter buses and party buses drop off along Blake Street between 20th and 22nd Streets. The officially designated accessible drop-off area is across from Gate B at 22nd and Blake Streets, per Colorado Rockies transportation guidance — your group walks directly to the gate from there. The bus then proceeds to Lot A or Lot B for parking.
Confirm the exact staging point for your event date when you book, as large events may coordinate bus flow differently.
Where do buses park at Coors Field, and what does it cost?
Bus and RV parking is in Lots A and B at a published rate of $30 per vehicle, with access from Park Avenue West (22nd) and Wazee Street or 27th and Blake Street. All official lots open 2.5 hours before game time. Passes can be purchased in advance at (303) ROCKIES (762-5437) or through the Coors Field parking page, or at the lot entrance on game day — though advance purchase is smart for sellouts and promo nights.
Is there tailgating at Coors Field?
No. The Colorado Rockies prohibit tailgating at Coors Field and in all surrounding parking areas. No grills, no pregame setups in the lots. Plan your pregame at Blake Street bars, the Wynkoop Brewing Company two blocks away, or the Sandlot Brewery inside the stadium.
What is the bag policy at Coors Field?
Soft-sided, single-pocket bags up to 16" × 16" × 8" are allowed. Clear bags are not required — opaque bags are permitted if they meet size and single-compartment rules. Small clutch purses up to 6" × 9" are also allowed.
Backpacks and multi-pocket bags are prohibited. Bag storage is available at all entry gates. Verify current policy at the Coors Field information guide.
When do Coors Field gates open?
Gates A and E open 2 hours before first pitch — giving early arrivals batting practice access in the outfield Pavilion and Rooftop. Gates B, C, and D open 90 minutes (1.5 hours) before first pitch. Times can vary for rescheduled games or special events.
Check the official Colorado Rockies transportation page before your visit to confirm.
Why can't my group just Uber home from a Friday or Saturday night game?
Starting July 2024, Denver Police banned rideshare pickup and drop-off between 18th and 21st Streets on Blake and Larimer Streets from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. A Saturday night game starting at 6:10 p.m. ends around 9:30–10:00 p.m. — landing your group inside that restriction zone right as you're exiting. Your group would need to walk one to two blocks to a designated pickup zone and wait for surge-priced rides.
A private bus with a pre-set post-game pickup spot on 22nd and Blake bypasses the whole situation.
How much does it cost to rent a bus to Coors Field?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours, the date, and your pickup location. A 15–35 passenger minibus typically runs $200–$275/hour on weekends; a 25-passenger party bus runs $250–$375/hour on weekends; a full 40–56 passenger charter bus typically runs $200–$350/hour. These are planning ranges — actual pricing varies.
The Denver party bus prices page has the full breakdown by vehicle. Call 983-587-6420 or use the online tool for a quote built around your specific group, date, and pickup.
What's the fastest way to get from DIA to Coors Field for a game?
Driving runs about 30–40 minutes off-peak via I-70 West to I-25 North, Exit 213. RTD's A Line runs DIA to Union Station in about 37 minutes at $10.50/person, then a 7–10 minute walk to Gate B — excellent for solo visitors and small parties. For a group of 20 flying in together with luggage, one coordinated bus from the terminal to Blake Street skips the transfer, the walk, and the post-game reverse trip entirely.
The Denver airport shuttle guide covers both.
How far in advance should I book a Coors Field party bus?
For regular-season weeknight games, 2–3 weeks works for most sizes. For Friday and Saturday night games, July 4th fireworks nights, and promotional giveaway dates, book 3–5 weeks out — those nights draw additional demand across the Denver network, and the right-size vehicles fill first. Stadium concert nights are their own booking window; if a major act is playing Coors Field, call as soon as the date is confirmed.
The earlier you call, the better your vehicle options. Call 983-587-6420 now to lock your date.
Are ADA-accessible vehicles available?
Yes — note your accessibility needs in your quote request and the right vehicle can be arranged. At Coors Field, the official accessible drop-off is across from Gate B at 22nd and Blake Streets, and accessible parking is adjacent to Gate A in Lot A on a first-come, first-served basis. Elevators, ramps, and escalators provide access to all venue levels from Gates A and E.
