Rockies announce Opening Day 2.0 on June 28

Jun 2, 2021, 11:32 AM

DENVER – The Colorado Rockies have been approved by the city, state and MLB to host a full-capacity crowd of 50,000 at Coors Field beginning on Monday, June 28 through the remainder of the 2021 regular season. As a celebration of summer and getting people back downtown and into the ballpark, the Rockies have designated the June 28 game vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates as “Opening Day 2.0.” The revised game time will be 3:10 p.m. (formerly a 6:40 p.m. start), and it will feature all of the traditional home opener pregame fanfare beginning at 2:30 p.m., including fireworks during the national anthem.

To avoid crowding at the gates, fans should enter the gate shown on their ticket.  Fans are also advised to arrive early as the first 15,000 fans entering the gates on Opening Day 2.0 will receive a commemorative T-shirt.

Coors Field parking lots open at 12:30 p.m. and all entry gates open at 1:30 p.m. Coors Field parking lots (starting at $18 every game day, and $17 in advance; information at Rockies.com/parking) are conveniently located outside the right-field Gate A entrance (with access at Wazee & Park Ave., or 33rd & Blake St.) and shuttle service (allow for limited capacity due to safety protocols) is available within the lots to and from the Gate A entrance.

Opening Day 2.0 against the Pirates will be televised locally on AT&T SportsNet. The Rockies’ radio broadcast is on KOA NewsRadio 850 AM and 94.1 FM, and in Spanish on KNRV 1150 AM.

To purchase tickets beginning today, fans can visit Rockies.com/tickets, call (303) ROCKIES (762-5437) or visit the Coors Field Ticket Office and Rockies Dugout Stores. Fans can save money on individual ticket prices by purchasing Rockies Ticket Plans.
