Take me out to the ball game to eat

As the Rockies take over Coors Field for the 2015 home opener today, hope springs eternal for the new season. But regardless of the team’s record, you can count on some good eats at the stadium that keeps upping its culinary game each season.

As the players take the field, Aramark will enhance the off-field experience for Rockies fans by providing them with a variety of new and traditional menu offerings.
