Fun fact
Coors Field sits at 5,280 feet above sea level — exactly one mile high. The thin air at altitude means baseballs travel approximately 9% farther than at sea level, making Coors Field one of the most extreme hitter's parks in MLB history. The Rockies keep their baseballs in a humidor (a humidity-controlled room) to counteract the dry altitude air.
