Rockpile & Rooftop Rockies Home Opener Lottery To Be Held On Saturday

DENVER (CBS4) – The Colorado Rockies have announced that a limited amount of Rockpile and Rooftop "General Admission/Standing Room Only" tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. this Saturday.

As in the past, a lottery system will be used to issue the tickets "to ensure a positive experience and equal chance of purchase for the fans," according Rockies officials.

This year Coors Field will feature a brand new "party deck." All the upper-deck seats in right field have been removed to build largest rooftop patio in all of Denver and all of sports stadiums, according to the Rockies.

The "Rooftop" features "more than 38,000 square feet with incredible panoramic views of the Front Range and the Downtown Denver cityscape."

Tickets for the Rooftop for Opening Day cost $26, which includes $6 in concession or merchandise credit that can be used throughout the stadium.

The Rockies home opener is Friday, April 4 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
