We've been to Ball Arena, previously known as Pepsi Center, many times. Events and shows including concerts, family shows like Disney On Ice, sporting events for the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets and Colorado Mammoth. Today's occasion was a club level suit for a friend's birthday and it was also Rocky's birthday as well. Quite memorable as you can see, the suite had food and drinks while the club level offered additional food and drink options. Many lounges, walk up bars and food stands to satisfy any craving. The atmosphere was electric and we have the best fans! Let's Go Mile High City! read more

GO NUGGETS! Pro Tip: Enter the arena quickly with CLEAR! It's a great facility with nice amenities. Not sure there's a bad seat in the house, but the club seats and section 124 are fantastic. The vibes are high + food was great! read more

I think Ball Arena is one of the best sports and concert venues in the country. It's new, modern and has fantastic concessions. The parking is actually quite easy and organized. Security is present but not obtrusive. It is in a really nice area in downtown Denver and I never feel unsafe while there. No matter where you sit, you can see the action really well. Denver is lucky to have it. read more

Always a great time at this arena. It's always clean and well maintained, and the staff does a great job keeping people moving so things don't feel so chaotic. Getting in and around the arena was easy. The atmosphere is always fun even for a preseason game, and the crowd always brings plenty of energy. Hardcore fans! Go Avs! read more

The Ball Arena had pretty great seats for how big it was, sometimes the higher up the seats are the worse it is, but it wasn't bad being up in section 310! The people working were super friendly, the beers were a bit pricey but that's normal. For a tall boy it was $15-ish and for a draft of the same beer it was $10. read more

Review for the new $5 fan menu! Glad that concessions aren't up the wazoo pricey; but I definitely feel it's still a bit overpriced. Staff was super friendly and even willing to point out their recs in the menu. They're trying, folks! We got popcorn- it's sizable! Think movie theater tub full. I also got a bag of candy for $5 (yeah def still overpriced). But we all know we aren't here for the food- Go Avs!!!!!! read more

I saw Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle here and the concert was good. The management didn't do a good job of protecting pedestrians in the crosswalk from cars. I expect arena concessions prices to be high but it was quadruple what you'd pay in a supermarket. The fries I got were cold. read more

The staff are always friendly and helpful when we come to watch the Nuggets. The lines move quickly and for as many people as there can be it doesn't feel grossly crowded. We tried a new restaurant this time. NOLA Jane and it was a bit disappointing. The bread in the sandwich was hard on the ends and it was way more bread than anything else. The Jambalaya was a little better having more flavor. I love the energy of the crowd at Ball Arena and it's especially fun when the Nuggets win, of course. They did not the night we were there but I cheered for them until the very end. read more

Ball Arena - A night out to watch the Nuggets! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I sent this through your website and email, but never heard back, so I thought I'd try through email on the chance that an honest person would read it and respond. I purchased tickets to the September 5th Garth Brooks concert in Section 148, handicapped row AA. When I purchased the tickets, the map showed it was the front row of the section. My friend and I were excited to go - until we arrived and realized our seats were actually on the floor. Spending over $300 to have to watch video screens was not on my bingo card for that night. My friend has had multiple back and ankle surgeries while I had another fall the week before the concert. Being forced to stand when we couldn't was like asking a blind person to see. The seating was so bad that a small child in a wheelchair FINALLY got moved about 1/2 way through the concert. Then, they ushered in able-bodied persons to stand in their vacated positions in front of us. Also, our seats were right by a garbage bag hanging off the stairs so that was a real treat having all the drunk people running up to us to throw their cans away. We had a miserable time. I would hesitate to come back again if that's how handicapped people were treated. Shame! read more

Will never go there again. Security is non-existent - anyone could walk in with a concealed weapon quite easily. Seating sucks - walking to or from your row is almost a vertical climb, and the seats are narrow and crowded, with no leg room, weird armrests that painfully poke your arms, and obscene food/drink prices. See your band anywhere else. Ball Arena treats you like cattle. And their planned renovation doesn't improve anything for your average concert-goer: a new entrance, quartz countertops in the executive suites, and a new overpriced mega-store. It's clear money takes priority over people. read more

The main reason for our Denver trip was to catch the Warriors vs. Nuggets game. Ball Arena is conveniently located about 10 minutes from Union Station, right in the heart of downtown. It's an easy walk if you want to save a few bucks on an Uber. The lines outside were insanely long about an hour before tip-off. I'm used to arenas opening their doors much earlier, but it seemed like Ball Arena didn't let anyone in until exactly an hour before the game...though I'm not entirely sure. Once inside, the security and staff gave us a hard time for being Warriors fans, but it was all in good fun. We laughed it off. What I didn't love was their bag policy. No regular bags or purses are allowed. Only small clutches or fanny packs up to 4x6 inches. That's barely enough room for a phone and wallet. I grabbed the fried tacos while we were there, and they were about a 3.5 star meal at best. It was around $18 for three tacos. The steak ones were better than the chicken. Definitely ask for extra salsa. Honestly, I'd rather have tacos from Jack in the Box. read more

This is a fairly standard arena, but what stood out to me during my visit was the amount of staff who were working and how helpful they were. I came to see a mostly sold out concert. The outside staff made sure we were in the right spots and got us lined up, so things would go smoothly when the doors opened. And they did. Then the inside staff was able to direct us to our seats and answer any questions we had - namely - where is a bathroom and where can I buy merch? 18,000+ is a large crowd and it didn't seem like anybody lost their cool. Props to the ownership and management groups. They spent a lot of money building a state of the art arena and I'm glad they invested in a solid staff to help their visitors enjoy themselves. As for my club level seats - the sight lines were fantastic. Sound for the headliner was actually pretty good. The opener needed a little help, but that happens in a large building that was mostly built for sports. A note - I was visiting without a car and I loved taking the light rail from downtown to the arena - especially since it was roughly $11 for a round trip ride. read more

Don't go to many events anymore as I don't like to deal with parking. But Twice is a must do. Bought parking as part of my tickets and had the pass pulled up as I drove up to the attendant. He thanked me for that as it made it easy. It was a little confusing to find the entrance as there were a lot of people but if you take your time you ca figure out where to go. There are electric charging stations in the Camry lot which was nice. Entered the venue and there were tables set up for bag checks right in the middle of both sets of doors. If you didn't have a bag you could keep going. Scanned the ticket on the turnstile and it bumped me through. I didn't walk fast enough :) up the escalators to the merchandise line for them to look at what was available. I purchased water and of course bottle caps not allowed. One of the servers did ask my friend before he unscrewed the cap if she wanted the water without it. For some patrons it's a deal breaker. $7 for water but after buying water in a Vegas hotel this didn't phase me. It was a large bottle so I was ok with that. Popcorn smelled good and they enjoyed theirs. The French fries looked tasty too. I skipped those as I didn't want to carry so many things. Restrooms were fine. Clearly labelled if not functioning which I appreciate. Paper towels and toilet paper stocked all night. Love that! Acoustics were not as good in the upper levels but the energy of Twice and the visually appealing videos were awesome. Glad we came and we're all tired but had a great time. All the employees we encountered were helpful and pleasant. Made for a good night with friends. read more

Super clean staff constantly walking around mopping the floor really nice to see. Great venue. Expensive! I planned on spending money. I knew the prices would be a little high but $40 for two hot dogs a soda and a water still feels quite a bit ridiculous Overall though great time. Valet parking is definitely the way to go. We had a hard time getting our tickets to load on our phone staff was super friendly super helpful. Hold us aside and got everything situated. read more

Went to an Avalanche hockey we y game and was very impressed with how quickly we got through security and how friendly they were and that matter, how friendly everyone in general was! The food looked good, but ate earlier so did not have any and the overall vibe of the place was great with lots of home team pride for sure! read more

Ball Arena - Great Club Seats! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Another excellent show by Bryan Adams! By far one of my favorites. We didn't get anything here at the venue. Just a little too expensive on the food side here, but already grabbed dinner elsewhere before coming here. Our tummy's are content and just ready to get our grooves on with the show. Woohoo! The service at Ball is always wonderful when you read the rules and follow. No issues whatsoever. You only make it difficult for yourself when you don't read the rules before coming. The ambiance of the place is just casual and embraces groups for entertainment. Great venue for show. Had an awesome time! Definitely coming back to see more shows. read more

I had the pleasure of attending the Denver Nuggets vs Chicago Bulls game, and as usual, I had an excellent time. My multiple visits to the Ball Arena have consistently been positive experiences. The arena's organization, security procedures, and staff hospitality are always impeccable. The venue's cleanliness, including the restrooms, is always well-maintained. Every event at the Ball Arena is a unique experience, with the sports events being particularly memorable and the best ones!! It was a great night at a great venue. read more

For an anniversary present to my wife, who is a long time Nuggets fan, I got us tickets to a game here (our second here together). It was a rollercoaster! Seeing the Nuggets win together while witnessing a portion of Nikola Jokic's historic season (which oddly seems commonplace at this point) was a memory I will cherish. As far as the arena itself, it seemed efficient and had everything we needed. I have no complaints! read more

Absolutely horrible personnel who run their security! Not only did I have to bring my small purse to come sketchy van in the parking lot to check (for an extra $10), but every single security person there was an absolute jerk on some power trip! One "Karen" told me I couldn't stand outside of the men's room to wait for my friend, and we were told to go different directions by so many of them that convinces me they don't know what they're doing. It was an overly frustrating experience and makes me never want to watch another game or concert there again! read more

Came to Ball Arena to see a Colorado Avalanche playoff game and the atmosphere and crowd was definitely lit. Getting to my seat inside the area was not too difficult plus the view of the game was fairly decent. I like the cold temperatures inside the arenas during a hockey game but that line to the restroom was long. I did not get any food during the game. Overall experience was great and I would definitely go to another hockey game soon. read more

Yes, I went to see Justin Timberlake. I've seen dozens of concerts and sporting events here. I've sat in the front row...and the last row. My thoughts, I was atleast in the building. Standard complaints...long lines for merch, difficulty getting out of the building. You just have to be patient and show up early. The entry scanning has gotten a bit quicker espically if you remember where you're going and don't take a bunch of stuff with you ! Plenty of snack and beverage options available. Really do like that they changed to all aluminum cups a few years back. These make great souvenirs or they recycle them for you. read more

The seats get smaller going from 100 - 200 - 300 levels so keep that in mind. The food has gotten better over the years and the nachos are still craptastic unless you go to club level and those nachos are definitely worth the price of admission. We have been here for concerts, Avalanche games and other events. Staff is always friendly and if you ever get lost they will guide you in the right direction. Drink selection is top notch and parking is passable until you get halfway to Mile High. Then you will be looking at some questionable digs. Regardless, go pay the exuberant parking prices and go to your event. Most importantly have a great time! read more

Things have definitely become more strict so I recommend you bring a super tiny bag that only fits your keys and a lipgloss. I've brought the same bag for years with no issues but when I went to see Sabrina, they were bag matching the size. I have never seen this before. In the past, I've seen people bring clear backpacks so don't assume your bag is safe just because it's clear. They have an actual sample size bag to measure. Food and drinks are expensive. I just find it very unhygienic that they take your lid when you order a bottle of water. When it's siting in that cup holder, someone's sweat could fall in my open bottle. I'm not sure what they worry about because I watched a girl put her vape pen in the bowl and security didn't say a thing. Crazy. Vape pens okay. You don't have to pay for crazy expensive seats. We sat in section 300 row 1 and the views were great. There's also less people so the lines aren't as long for bathrooms. Be prepared to prove your seat everywhere you go - except section 300. No one checks for tickets. read more

Horrible experience 10/10 wouldn't recommend. I am writing, as myself, my husband, and my disabled mother came to see Earth Wind and Fire with Lionel Richie on 7/31. This was to be an enjoyable experience for her birthday. I would like to express this was the most unpleasurable experience ever at your facility. My mother had a walker and everyone in guest relations and security alike had zero answers for my husband and I where to put it because it wasn't "allowed" on the floor then were asked if we wanted to upgrade to handicap which is so inconsiderate that my mother ended up feeling bad and like a burden what a birthday!. We spent an EXORBITANT amount of money for this show to be told basically oh well, here's your crippled mother good luck and we don't know where to put your walker. In the same token your security team were some of the RUDEST i've ever encountered in the industry. I am appalled at how we were treated and at this point of time myself and my husband are very discouraged on ever visiting Ball Arena again. Do better, have staff act better, and maybe hire better more considerate security. read more

We have been here several times, for Nuggets and Avs games and concerts as well, probably one of the easier large arena to get around in. This last Nuggets game we got to sit in our companies club level seating section 228, I always love the vibe and electric energy at these games. The service is always super friendly and helpful, the drinks are a little high priced, but it's worth it. I usually park at Parking Garage is a few blocks away to avoid the crowds and just walk over, there are lots of parking options, especially if you use SpotHero app. We enjoyed it every time we come, and I cannot wait for the upgrades that they're going to do in and around Ball Arena. read more

Ballerina is one of the best places to go for concerts, or any other type of venue always have a really good time.

I went to go see Cirque du Soleil CRYSTAL. Ooh an absolute must! The arena: It was quite amazing to see an arena with organization for this event. Getting through the security was a little annoying especially when the lines were long yet there was empty lines but we couldn't switch over. Eh. Minor annoyance. Getting to call was very easy and simple. After I got my tickets, I went up the escalators and was greeted by the sweet heavenly aroma of a cinnamon churro. And I headed straight to that kiosk After I inhaled it, I enjoyed the show. I wish there was more lake space in the arena. Especially because I don't find myself that tall at 5:10 so I couldn't imagine any of my family members squeezing in there. Fortunately, I had an ILC and utilized a little bit of that space. I like that there was so many food options, and I did not get sick from any of the food which I was very grateful for and also surprised. I know better than to eat arena food, but this was definitely delicious. read more

Definitely mind the bag policy. While Ball Arena doesn't consistently enforce it, be prepared that ladies clutch bags do not exceed the 4x6 dimensions. The wristlet that I have been using all summer was off by almost an inch, so without any bag checks or lockers around, I, along with other patrons, were returning to their vehicle. We did make the TSO opening just in time and that was quite a spectacular performance! read more

Arrived to the game incredible late today but the expiwrended when i arrived was an embarrassment. For starters the signage when you arrive is poor/nonexistent which creates a challenging s oriented from your first introduction. Down that point once you find clear in the sketch lot that's available there's so much uncertainty about if you can park there as attendees. From the non existent staff, ambiguous signage about permits etc. Then when you finally get to the door the experience of the event staff was just disappointing and poor Should i decide to attend another NBA game it certainty won't be here read more

We went for Monster Jam and had a lot of fun. Parking cost almost as much as the ticket, but was convenient. The seating was probably the most comfortable I've had at any event. The acoustics were great also. Lots of the vendors were closed on the third floor during this visit. It was a bit disappointing because I would have tried a few different things to eat and drink if they were open. read more

Hate to say this, but this arena is a little better than crypto arena, home of my LA kings. Really great atmosphere in the arena. Even though me and my buddies were wearing our Kings gear, fans were really nice and friendly. Lots of different varieties of drinks and foods to choose from. The big screen is huge and one of the better screens I have seen in an arena. We took an Uber from our hotel and pre gamed at a restaurant in their downtown and was able to walk to the arena. Seems like a lot of the fans eat and drink at the downtown bars and walk over to the arena. Really good experience and I would encourage anyone to go to a hockey game here. read more

Chris Brown 11:11 concert at Ball Arena was fantastic. Muni Long and Maeta did great as well to open the show. DJ Fresh (Chris' personal DJ), did this thing and keep the crowd hype and engaged the entire time. Great sound, great seats, great visuals and great company to enjoy it all. If you decide to share ride to and from events here, I recommend you walk to Union Station for pickup it will save you over $25 no exaggeration. One of easiest arenas to navigate. Food options were typical will normal prices no complaints on our end. Getting through security was smooth and organized. After entry, security was not nowhere to be found in our section. Unsure if it was due to the location of our seats but nonetheless really strange to not see security walking the isles like other arenas. Lastly.... Very Weird to see several people openly smoking weed in the arena although it is a non-smoking arena. read more

I have been to Ball Arena many times for shows and concerts. Overall it's huge and fits tons of people, and isn't a bad location. The more venues I've been to though, the more I understand how bad the sound can be there. Some shows will have great and but some are just terrible. Was recently there and Alanis Morissette had feedback that made it almost unbearable. They are a well operated machine though, so you can usually get in and out quickly without too much hassle, besides the crowds that is. read more
