What are the best seats to view the fireworks at Coors Field following the Colorado Rockies game?

Seats along the first base side of Coors Field are always in high demand for the fireworks show. However, the Rockies also offer “fireworks obstructed view tickets” as part of their packages for the evening. As the Rockies state, you can move after the game to get a view of the fireworks. However, you won’t be allowed to go on the field with the fans relocating from the outfield. There are plenty of areas with standing room only, however, along the first base side that will provide good views.

What about after the fireworks at Coors Field following the Colorado Rockies game?
