Featured Local Savings

Seats not sold will be blocked off. There will also be arrows indicating which way to walk and markers on the ground telling people where to stand. 

Concessions

All concession stands will be open, but not all lines will be. There will be no vendors walking around the stands, and all seating will be removed from the concourse so fans will be required to eat in their seats. 

Condiments will be offered in single-use packets. All transactions will be cashless, and stores will be open, but returns will not be allowed. 

Other things to know

There will be no pregame, in-game or postgame entertainment. Mascots will not make any appearances during the game. 

The playground will be closed and smoking will not be allowed inside the stadium. There will also be nothing thrown into the stands. 

Coors Field will have a dedicated isolation room if any fans become symptomatic during the game. There will also be at least one emergency room doctor and seven paramedics at each game.
