Twenty miles of I-25 stand between Centennial and Coors Field, and on a Friday night with the Rockies at home, that drive turns into a parking-lot preview of the parking lot you're about to pay for. Then, once you're off the highway, downtown Denver's Ballpark Neighborhood hands you a second problem: which of four street-front gates does your group actually walk to, and where does a bus that size sit for three hours? Two questions decide whether your group strolls in together or spends the seventh-inning stretch texting "where are you" — where does the bus drop your group, and where does it wait?
Here's the short version: Coors Field's own gates open straight onto 20th, 21st, and 22nd Streets at Blake, the ballpark's official Lots A and B specifically include bus parking inside their 4,300-plus spaces, and a private charter bus or party bus can hold both jobs — drop your group curbside, then park itself for the game — without anyone in your party circling the Ballpark Neighborhood for a spot. Below is everything verified against the Rockies' own site: the gates, the lots, the prices, the bag policy, the drive in from the south metro, and what changes once the last out is recorded.
Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to Coors Field?
A Rockies game with more than a handful of people turns into a logistics project fast: who's driving, who's buying a parking pass in advance, who gets stuck finding a spot after the lots fill, and who's the one person not drinking a Coors Banquet in a Coors Field seat because they have to drive everyone home. A Centennial charter bus rental or party bus erases that whole list in one booking.
Everyone gathers at one pickup point, rides down I-25 together, and gets dropped at the gate instead of a lot three blocks out. The bus holds the group's gear, nobody has to sober up before the drive home, and the pickup is already arranged for whenever the ninth inning ends — win, loss, or extra innings. Comparing party bus, charter bus, and minibus options for a Coors Field trip through Centennialminibuscompany.com takes about a minute online or a call to 720-799-8650, and it's the smartest move for any group bigger than what fits in two cars.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at Coors Field
Coors Field doesn't set aside one dedicated motorcoach lane the way a football stadium with a single main gate does — it has five gates, and each one faces a different cross street in the Ballpark Neighborhood grid. Knowing which gate matches your seats is what keeps a group from walking the long way around the building.
The Gates and Cross Streets at Coors Field
Per the Rockies' own Coors Field A-Z guide, the ballpark's entrances are: Gate A (Section 105, behind the bullpens in right-center field), Gate B (Section 111, right-field corner, at 22nd and Blake Streets), Gate C (Section 122, first base, at 21st and Blake Streets), Gate D (Section 130, home plate, at 20th and Blake Streets), and Gate E (Section 147, left-field corner, off the Wynkoop Walkway). A separate suiteholder entrance sits on Blake Street between Gate B and the Diamond Dry Goods Store.
Because Gates B, C, and D each front directly onto Blake Street at a numbered cross street, a bus can pull curbside at whichever one lines up with your seats, let the group off, and continue on to park — instead of everyone hiking the full perimeter from a single drop point. The Rockies' group sales office is who confirms the exact curb your event allows for a large vehicle on your specific date; reach them at [email protected] or 303-ROCKIES (762-5437) when you lock in tickets for 20 or more.
Getting an ADA Drop-Off at Coors Field
The ballpark's accessible drop-off is published as sitting across from Gate B, at 22nd and Blake Streets, with roughly 1,000 accessible and companion seats distributed throughout the building, according to the same official guide. If anyone in your group needs that entrance, ask for a Gate B curb stop and the group can wheel straight in rather than routing around to a different gate.
Charter Bus Parking at Coors Field: Lots A and B
The single most useful line in the Rockies' own parking page is this one, describing the venue's official lots: "Colorado Rockies Official Parking (Lots A and B) offer more than 4,300 spaces, including accessible and bus parking," per the official Coors Field parking page. That means a charter bus doesn't need to find a separate staging lot blocks away — it can park in the same official lot as everyone else and sit there for the whole game.
Lot A sits adjacent to Coors Field right at Gate A, starts at $20 per vehicle, and runs a 1- to 10-minute walk to the gate; it also holds the ballpark's ADA parking spaces, available first-come, first-served with a valid placard. Lot B sits next to Lot A between Blake Street and the railroad tracks, starts at $18 per vehicle, includes 790 covered garage spaces with EV charging, and runs about a 15-minute walk to Gate A. A VIP Lot with valet between 22nd Street and Park Avenue West starts at $40, sits under 5 minutes from Gate B, and is sold only at the lot itself starting two hours before first pitch — it isn't sold at all on fireworks-night games. All three are operated by LAZ Parking, and passes can be reserved through SpotHero, by phone at 303-ROCKIES, at any Rockies Dugout Store, or at the ticket office.
Lots open 2.5 hours before first pitch, and a shuttle runs from Lots A and B to Gate A for anyone who'd rather ride the last stretch in.
A charter bus can park itself in Lot A or Lot B for the entire game. Because bus parking is built into the same 4,300-plus official spaces everyone else uses — not a separate remote lot — there's no second staging location to track down, and the vehicle is already close to whichever gate your group used to walk in.
One bus replacing a caravan of cars matters here specifically because Lot B's covered garage and Lot A's surface spaces both fill on marquee dates. A single reserved bus space handles a group that would otherwise need four, five, or six separate passes — each one a different car circling for the same shrinking supply.
Coors Field Transportation Options Compared
Centennialminibuscompany.com is a bus-comparison site, so it's fair to lay out the honest tradeoffs rather than pretend a bus is the only way to get to a Rockies game.
| Option | Cost shape | Group stays together? | Walk to gate | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — curbside at Gate B, C, or D | 15–56 |
| RTD light rail or bus | Per-fare, per rider | Only if everyone rides the same train | Short walk from downtown rail stops into the Ballpark Neighborhood | Any, no group control |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | Per car each way, plus post-game demand pricing | No — multiple cars, multiple pickup points | Depends on the app's assigned zone that night | 1–4 per car |
| Everyone drives & parks | $18–$40 per car, per the official lot rates above | No — separate arrivals and separate walks | 1–15 minutes depending on the lot | 1–2 cars |
For two or three people, RTD or a rideshare is often the cheaper, simpler call — no reason to book a bus for a small party. But once a group needs more than two parking passes, the coordination cost stacks up fast: different arrival times, split-up seating groups looking for each other at the gate, and a designated non-drinker in every single car. That's the group this guide is written for.
Per the Rockies' own transportation page, "leave the driving to RTD" is the venue's own advice for anyone not driving in — RTD's light rail and local and regional bus routes both serve downtown Denver, a short walk from the Ballpark Neighborhood. Denver Union Station, the metro's main transit hub, sits a few blocks from Coors Field's Blake Street gates, which makes it the natural transfer point for riders coming off the A Line from Denver International Airport or any of RTD's light rail lines.
What Size Bus Fits Your Coors Field Group?
No two Coors Field groups are the same size, which is why Centennialminibuscompany.com connects you to a range of vehicles through a large network of bus companies serving Centennial and the greater Denver area — so your group rides comfortably without paying for seats nobody uses.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Suite groups, small groups, birthday outings | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted windows |
| 18–20 passenger minibus | 18–20 | Office groups, small fan clubs | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats |
| 25–28 passenger minibus | 25–28 | Mid-size groups, family reunions at the ballpark | Overhead storage, reclining seats |
| 30–35 passenger minibus | 30–35 | Large celebrations, church or club outings | Climate control, ample legroom |
| Party bus | 15–50 | Groups wanting the pregame energy started on the ride down | Built-in bar, LED lighting, premium sound system |
| Charter bus | Up to 56 | Corporate outings, large fan groups, school and league trips | Reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage storage |
The right pick usually comes down to headcount and how much gear the group is hauling — jerseys, coolers of non-alcoholic drinks for the drive, blankets for a chilly evening game. Browse the full vehicle lineup or call 720-799-8650 to talk through what fits your group.
Coors Field Party Bus and Charter Bus Rental Prices
Centennialminibuscompany.com shows quotes online in under a minute, and pricing for a Coors Field trip is shaped by a few clear factors: vehicle size, total hours booked (including the time the bus sits parked during the game), the date and opponent, and the mileage from your pickup point in Centennial or elsewhere in the metro. To give you an idea, a group booking an 18-passenger minibus for a 6-hour window — pickup, the drive up I-25, parking in Lot A for the game, and the ride home — might land in a range that works out to well under what six separate rideshare fares plus six parking passes would cost, though the number always varies with the date and the vehicle. The Centennial bus rental prices page walks through more examples, or call 720-799-8650 for a free quote specific to your trip.
Remember that Coors Field's own lot rates — $18 to $40 per vehicle depending on the lot — are separate from your bus rental and apply once, to the one vehicle, rather than to every car your group would otherwise need.
Driving to Coors Field from Centennial and the South Metro
The most direct route from Centennial runs north on I-25 toward downtown Denver. Per the Rockies' own directions guidance, groups approaching "from the South" are routed to Exit #212C (20th Street), which drops traffic within a few blocks of Gate D at 20th and Blake. Groups coming from the north, east, or west are instead routed to Exit #213 (Park Avenue West).
I-25 through central Denver backs up hard on weekday rush hour and on any evening a Rockies-Dodgers or Rockies-Cardinals series overlaps with commute traffic, so a first pitch that looks easy to reach at 4 p.m. can look very different by 6:10. Building in extra time — or letting a bus absorb that stretch instead of a car full of people watching the clock — is the difference between tailgating in the parking lot and jogging in during the first inning.
A group riding a Centennial sporting event bus rental up I-25 skips the part where everyone has to agree on a departure time and a lane. Pickup gets set once, at your address or a central meeting point in Centennial, and the group settles in for the drive instead of white-knuckling the merge near downtown.
Denver International Airport to Coors Field Charter Bus Pickup
For a group flying in for a series — a company outing, a reunion built around a weekend homestand — Denver International Airport (DEN) has its own published process for chartered vehicles. Per DEN's official charter bus page, "charter buses pick up passengers from Jeppesen Terminal, Level 5," and the standard process is for the group coordinator to "call [DEN's ground transportation line] when the group is ready for pick-up," or to visit the airport's Ground Transportation Information Counter, where "an agent will summon your bus from a holding lot." Charter service has to be arranged in advance with a chosen provider before the group lands — DEN doesn't run the buses itself, it only coordinates the pickup point.
Gathering everyone at baggage claim before the bus is called keeps the pickup clean — the coordinator waits until the full group and its luggage are together at Level 5, then makes the call, rather than trying to time a bus to a trickle of arrivals. The Centennial airport transportation page covers the reverse trip too, for groups flying out after a homestand.
Gate Times, Bag Policy and Re-Entry Rules at Coors Field
A few published rules change how a group should time its arrival and what it should leave on the bus:
- Gates open on a split schedule. Per the Rockies' Know Before You Go page, Gates A and E open 2 hours before first pitch, while Gates B, C, and D open 90 minutes before first pitch. If your group is using a street-front gate, plan the drop-off around that 90-minute window rather than the full 2 hours.
- Bags are capped at 16″ x 16″ x 8″. Per the ballpark's security page, only single-pocket soft-sided bags at or under that size are allowed in; hard-sided coolers, briefcases, backpacks, and multi-pocket bags are turned away at the gate entirely. Leave anything oversized in the bus's storage rather than carrying it to the gate.
- There's no re-entry. Once your group is in, it's in for the game — so anyone who wants to step out to the bus mid-game for a forgotten item won't be let back in. Load in everything the group needs before walking to the gate.
- Tickets are digital only. Every guest 18 and older needs an individual ticket loaded in the MLB Ballpark app on their own device; screenshots aren't accepted. Have the group pull up tickets before boarding the bus, not while standing at the turnstile.
- Most concessions are cashless. Cash is only accepted at four specific stands inside the ballpark, so hand out cards instead of pooling cash before the group heads in.
Leaving Coors Field After the Game
Because Coors Field's official Lots A and B include bus parking within the same 4,300-plus spaces everyone uses, a charter bus doesn't need to relocate to some remote holding area for the final innings — it can sit exactly where it parked and be walked back to. That's a real advantage once the last out is recorded and the Ballpark Neighborhood's sidewalks fill with a full house heading for the exits at once.
Agree on a meet-back gate before the group splits up inside — Gate B at 22nd and Blake or Gate D at 20th and Blake are both easy to describe to forty people who've had a beer or two, since they're named cross streets rather than a numbered section. With no re-entry allowed, nobody's ducking back out to the bus early, so set the pickup for after the final out and let the group filter out on its own schedule to the same curb.
Tips for a First Coors Field Bus Trip
- Match your gate to your seats before you leave Centennial. Gates B, C, and D front onto 22nd, 21st, and 20th Streets at Blake — know which one before the bus pulls up so the group doesn't have to circle the building.
- Book the VIP Lot only on non-fireworks nights. The $40 valet lot between 22nd Street and Park Avenue West isn't sold at all on fireworks games, so check the promotional schedule before counting on it.
- Reserve parking in advance when you can. Lots A and B can be booked ahead through SpotHero, by phone at 303-ROCKIES, or at a Dugout Store — showing up day-of on a big series still works, but reserved spaces take the guesswork out of a large group's arrival.
- Load tickets before boarding. Every rider 18 and older needs their own digital ticket in the MLB Ballpark app; there's no fixing that at the gate.
- Dress for a Denver evening. Coors Field sits at altitude, and night games can drop 20-plus degrees from first pitch to the seventh inning — pack a layer for the ride home.
What's on the Coors Field Calendar in 2026
Per the Rockies' official 2026 schedule, the club plays out the rest of its home slate through late September, and several of the remaining dates are the kind that fill parking lots early. The Dodgers come to Denver for a three-game series August 17–19, one of the most heavily attended visiting series on the Rockies' calendar every year. August 22 is Star Wars Night against the Guardians, and August 23 brings the Larry Walker statue unveiling and celebration — both the kind of promotional date that pushes a normal Sunday crowd well past its usual size.
The final homestand of the regular season runs September 22–24 against the Diamondbacks.
For any of these bigger dates, Lot A fills first and the VIP valet lot sells out at the gate rather than in advance — booking your bus and your parking as soon as the date is set beats trying to sort it out during the week of the game.
Who Rents a Coors Field Party Bus
The same door-to-door setup works for pretty much any group that wants to arrive together and skip the parking scramble:
- Fan groups and season-ticket pods. A block of seats bought together deserves a ride that shows up together — a Centennial party bus rental keeps the energy going from pickup to the first pitch.
- Corporate and suite outings. Moving clients or staff to a suite without anyone worrying about a parking pass is a straightforward sell — see the Centennial corporate transportation page.
- Birthday and bachelor/bachelorette groups. A Rockies game doubling as a celebration is an easy fit for a Centennial birthday party bus rental, with the party started on the drive down.
- School, church, and league groups. Larger outings with a set headcount and a single meeting point are exactly what a Centennial charter bus rental is built for.
Booking a Coors Field Charter Bus Rental
Lining up a bus to Coors Field through Centennialminibuscompany.com is a short process: fill out the quick online form or call 720-799-8650 with your group size, pickup location in Centennial or the metro, game date, and how many hours you want the vehicle held (including parked time during the game). From there you compare vehicle options and pricing from a large network of bus companies serving the area, confirm the one that fits, and set your post-game pickup window before the first pitch is even thrown. A multi-stop trip — a restaurant before the game, a hotel drop after — is easy to build in through the Centennial group transportation services page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does a charter bus drop off at Coors Field?
Coors Field doesn't publish one single motorcoach lane; instead, four of its five gates front directly onto Blake Street at 20th, 21st, and 22nd Streets, so a bus can pull curbside at whichever gate matches your seats. The Rockies' group sales office confirms the exact curb allowed for a large vehicle on your specific date — reach them at [email protected] or 303-ROCKIES.
Where does a bus park during a Rockies game?
Coors Field's official Lots A and B include bus parking within their combined 4,300-plus spaces, so a charter bus can park in the same lot as everyone else and sit there for the whole game rather than being sent to a separate holding area.
How much does parking cost at Coors Field?
Lot B starts at $18 per vehicle, Lot A starts at $20, and the VIP valet lot between 22nd Street and Park Avenue West starts at $40 — sold only at the lot, starting two hours before first pitch, and unavailable on fireworks-night games. Lots open 2.5 hours before first pitch.
What does a Coors Field bus rental cost?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours booked, the date, and mileage from your pickup point. You can compare quotes online in under a minute or call 720-799-8650 for a number specific to your trip; the official parking rate for the bus itself is separate from your rental cost.
What time do the gates open?
Gates A and E open two hours before first pitch; Gates B, C, and D open 90 minutes before first pitch. Plan a street-front drop-off around that 90-minute window.
Can the group leave and come back in during the game?
No. Coors Field does not allow re-entry, so load everything the group needs — bags within the 16″ x 16″ x 8″ limit, digital tickets pulled up, cards instead of cash — before walking to the gate.
Is there an ADA drop-off at Coors Field?
Yes. The accessible drop-off sits across from Gate B, at 22nd and Blake Streets. Accessible parking is also available in Lot A, first-come, first-served with a valid placard.
How do we get a bus from Denver International Airport to Coors Field?
DEN's charter buses pick up at Jeppesen Terminal, Level 5. The group coordinator calls once the whole group and its luggage are together, or checks in at the Ground Transportation Information Counter to have the bus summoned from its holding lot. Charter service has to be arranged with a provider in advance of landing.
What roads should we take from Centennial?
North on I-25 to Exit #212C (20th Street), which lands a few blocks from Gate D. I-25 through central Denver runs slow on weekday rush hour and before marquee series, so building in extra time — or letting a bus handle that stretch — keeps the group from missing the first pitch.
What's the bag policy at Coors Field?
One single-pocket soft-sided bag at or under 16″ x 16″ x 8″ per person. Hard-sided coolers, briefcases, backpacks, and multi-pocket bags aren't allowed in and have to stay on the bus.
What are the biggest dates on the 2026 Coors Field calendar?
The Dodgers series runs August 17–19, Star Wars Night is August 22, the Larry Walker statue unveiling is August 23, and the final regular-season homestand runs September 22–24 against the Diamondbacks. Parking and vehicle availability both get tighter the closer you book to these dates.
How far in advance should we book a bus to Coors Field?
As soon as your game date and ticket count are set, especially for a marquee series or a promotional date. For a regular weeknight game against a lower-draw opponent, a couple of weeks of lead time is usually workable — but the earlier you call, the more vehicle options are open.
