Coors Field is also just a very inexpensive Uber/Lyft ride down the hill. (You can walk it, and I have many times, because walking can be faster in traffic around game time.) If the weather and season permits, this is a great way to spend a leisurely evening.

Sightseeing
Ned is a cool town with a frozen dead guy past. It can/should be one of the first stops as you head into the Rocky Mountains. Stop by the lake and walk around a bit and then go into town for pizza.
