Denver is a city that is known for professional sports team and their fans. Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, is one of the more popular stadiums in Major League Baseball. This year, the stadium is upping its game with the addition of the Upper Level Party Deck -- a one-of-a-kind venue offering a rooftop patio experience to baseball fans all over the city. This new venue offers three more restaurants to the already stellar selection of food and drink at the stadium.

Treat yourself to a restaurant-style burger in the stadium and follow up with a delicious frozen custard shake. CHUBurger also has some delicious craft beers from its sister brewery Oskar Blues on tap, adding to an already vast selection of beer on tap at the stadium.

Open to all ticket holders, the Mountain Ranch Bar and Grille is a great place for those who'd like a sit-down meal. Open 90 minutes prior to game time, this place is a good pregame option for those who come early. It is also open for 90 minutes after the game, so you can go and eat while waiting for foot traffic to disperse. With delicious food, excellent service and field view, the Mountain Ranch Bar and Grille offers patrons the opportunity to enjoy their food at their pace without having to eat at their seats.
