Coors Field Question

Hey!! Does anyone on here ever do IP at Coors Field? I am heading there for the Twins series this summer and was just trying to find out how the graphing was there. Any help would be awesome!! Thanks!!

I live in the area and started to try IP on a fairly regular basis.

What you want to do if you are interested in the Twins and will have enough time to devote is to try before the game outside the stadium, before the game inside the stadium, and after the game outside the stadium.

The visitors usually arrive anywhere from 3-6 hours before game time but more or less start arriving to Coors Field around 1:30-2:30pm for a typical 6:40 night game. Some players will walk from their hotel and enter through the front entrance to Coors Field but it's a crapshoot as to who will do that if any. For most players they will enter through the players entrance on the southwest corner of Coors Field. Players will walk to the entrance, take cabs or hotel cars, or will come in a team bus. The team bus will pass through where people wait so players on the team bus you won't get. Players that walk in or take taxis or hotel cars will walk by where you wait and some will stop, some won't.

If you go to the game, gates open 2 hours before the game for BP and about 1.5 hours before the game you can go down to the seats on the 3rd base line which is the visitor's side. From there you can wait and hope for any players to sign anywhere from BP time all the way up to right before first pitch.

After the game, some players will walk out of the stadium through the main entrance about 15-45 minutes after the game ends and walk to their hotel. You can try there too.

Awesome thanks for the help!!! Do you have any idea on how close you can get to the dugout and how cool the ushers are there?!

You are pretty free to roam all around before the game starts so from 90 minutes to about first pitch. The ushers will start telling people to find their seats a bit before the game starts. You cannot get close to the dugout really. On one side you can sorta get close but you have to have tickets in that area. You can stand anywhere behind the dugout (above it really) so you can get players to sign things like balls and other items that can be thrown but it's pretty hit and miss.

Ushers are for the most part nice (lots of retirees) but there are some that are mad with power hah.

Hey jaydub.......I've been planning my trip to Colorado and was just curious if you knew what hotel the visitors tend to stay at?
