Facility Overview
Situated at the vibrant intersection of Blake Street and 22nd Street in Denver\'s historic Ballpark District, the LAZ Parking facility at 2201 Blake St offers an open-air, surface-level parking solution directly adjacent to Coors Field. As an open surface lot without overhead barriers, ceiling beams, or parking deck ramps, it boasts virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an outstanding choice not only for standard sedans, crossovers, and passenger cars, but also for full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, lifted 4x4s, work vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that typically cannot enter standard underground or multi-tier garages in downtown Denver.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking lot boasts one of the most coveted event locations in Downtown Denver. Situated directly across from Gate B and Gate C of Coors Field (home of Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies), attendees can walk to the ballpark turnstiles in under two minutes. Beyond baseball, the lot is deeply embedded in Denver’s liveliest sports and nightlife corridor:
- Coors Field: Less than a 2-minute walk (adjacent block) for Rockies games, stadium tours, and major summer concerts.
- Ballpark & LoDo Entertainment: ViewHouse Ballpark, Jackson\'s LODO, The Ginn Mill, Cherry Cricket Ballpark, and Dierks Bentley\'s Whiskey Row are all within a 1 to 3-minute stroll.
- RiNo (River North Art District): A brisk 5 to 10-minute walk northeast brings visitors into Denver’s celebrated arts district, filled with independent craft breweries, street murals, and artisan dining.
- Denver Union Station & Lower Downtown (LoDo): Located roughly 0.6 miles southwest (a 12 to 14-minute walk), connecting visitors to Amtrak, regional buses, and the A-Line commuter rail to Denver International Airport (DEN).
- McGregor Square: Just a 5-minute walk away, featuring an outdoor entertainment plaza, food hall, and boutique shops.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Entering and exiting the 2201 Blake St lot is straightforward via Blake Street and 22nd Street. Motorists arriving via Interstate 25 can take the Park Avenue West exit or the 20th Street exit, leading directly into the Ballpark neighborhood in just minutes. After major games and sold-out stadium events, post-game traffic on Blake Street can be heavy; however, multiple nearby cross streets (such as 22nd St, 23rd St, and Park Avenue West) allow drivers to bypass the most congested segments of central LoDo and quickly access I-25, I-70, or downtown thoroughfares. Public transit riders will appreciate nearby RTD bus stops along 20th and Park Avenue, as well as the RTD light rail and commuter rail lines stationed at Denver Union Station.

Visitor & Driver Tips
On Colorado Rockies game days and major arena concert nights, demand in the Ballpark neighborhood surges significantly. It is highly recommended to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before first pitch to secure a space and avoid traffic bottlenecks along Blake Street. Be mindful of event-rate pricing adjustments posted on entry boards during stadium events. Always confirm your vehicle\'s license plate number is keyed correctly into the payment app or pay station before leaving the lot to avoid ticketing or enforcement action.
