The Ballpark neighborhood lies to the north of LODO (lower downtown) and Downtown Denver's central business district. The southern end of the neighborhood (around 20th Street) is anchored by Coors Field, which opened in 1995. Ballpark also stretches almost 20 blocks to the north from 20th Street, into a section of Downtown that is still very much a functioning warehouse and light industry district. An increasing number of those warehouses are being renovated into loft projects.
An important commercial corridor in the Ballpark neighborhood is North Larimer Street. From 20th Street all the way to the northern edge of Downtown stretches to (37th-38th Avenue), Larimer Street offers a unique mix of buildings and tenants--pawn shops, jazz clubs, bars, antique shops, art framers, galleries, brewpubs, authentic Mexican restaurants, small ad companies and more. Most of these buildings reflect the area's predominant architecture, which are 2-3 story brick buildings and warehouses. Fire Clay is also located within the River North Art District (RiNo), and is part of the Upper Larimer greater community.
