Coors Field is the 7.8th Best Stadium in the MLB 😉

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.

Maybe 2 from Fox Sports is a little high and maybe 15 from Ballpark Digest is a little low, but to each their own.

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.
