Coors Field serves cheapest beer in Major League Baseball, study says
There’s no confusing the price difference between a happy hour beer in Lower Downtown and a frothy pour at Coors Field — or any big sports venue, for that matter.
But Colorado Rockies fans lamenting the fact that the team has the worst odds (or the second worse or third worst, depending on who you ask) of winning their World Series, they can at least rejoice in a new survey claiming that Denver’s ballpark also serves the cheapest beer.
The average cost of a beer at Coors Field is $3, according to NJ.bet, an online casino and betting website. By comparison, a beer at Citi Field in New York costs an average of $12, while a beer at Minute Maid Park — home of last year’s World Series-winning Houston Astros — is $7.50.
The team opens its season today in San Diego against the Padres. The Rockies play their first home game on Thursday, April 6.
We’re not sure where NJ.bet is finding these $3 beers at Coors Field, but if we had to place a wager, so to speak, it would be on the party deck during a Tuesday day game against the A’s (one of the other teams to have the lowest odds to win the World Series in 2023).
Here’s the rest of the analysis.

Coors Field also came in 2nd behind San Diego’s PetCo Park when it comes to the overall best ballparks in the United States, according to NJ.bet.
“Along with offering fans an incredible backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, Coors Field has plenty to provide baseball fans, including the 5th cheapest general admission ticket in the league ($25.51), the cheapest beer ($3), more than 470 bars and restaurants within walking distance as well as an average Google and Yelp score of 4.4 out of 5,” the web site said.
Now, if the team could only play .500 ball.
