Empower Field at Mile High

Driving & Parking

• Driving
  From I-25, take Exit 210B (Colfax Avenue) and head west, or take Exit 209A (Federal Boulevard) and head north. From I-70, take I-25 South to the Colfax exit. From downtown Denver, head west on Colfax Avenue or 17th Street. Gameday traffic on Federal Boulevard and Colfax builds 2-3 hours before kickoff.
• Parking
  The majority of the parking lots immediately surrounding the stadium are exclusively sold to season ticket holders. Though some are held back for non-season ticket holding fans they are very limited and require pre-purchase. The lots have relatively strict tailgating policies as well including no open flames. Off-site alternatives include Ball Arena, Auraria Campus, Denver Aquarium, and Riverside Church which are all walking distance to the stadium.
  
  For tailgate supplies, King Soopers (Kroger-owned, the dominant Denver chain) has multiple convenient locations. For beverages, Argonaut Wine & Liquor is a Denver institution and one of the largest liquor stores in the state with an incredible craft beer and spirit selection.

Public Transit

• RTD Light Rail
  The Empower Field Light Rail Station drops fans off just east of the stadium with service from the E and W lines. Though further away the Decatur-Federal Station is a good alternative for fans trying to beat the crowds after the game. The E Line services the Southeast Corridor while the W Line services the West. Fans on the A, B/N Lines can transfer at Union Station while fans on the D and H Lines transfer to the E at I-25 & Broadway.

Rideshare

• The designated Rideshare Zone is east of the stadium in the Ball Arena and Auraria off-site parking lots near the Empower Stadium Mile High Light Rail station, though walking a few minutes in any direction should help alleviate congestion and some surge pricing

Denver's pregame scene benefits from the stadium's proximity to downtown, the LoHi (Lower Highlands) neighborhood, and the RiNo (River North Art District) area. The craft beer scene in Denver is among the best in America, and game-day bar hopping is part of the culture.
