After more than a decade, arena football is back! The Denver Coliseum is now the home to the Colorado Spartans! The Spartans are a professional indoor arena football team that's fast paced, fun entertainment, fan focused & affordable! They're lots of scoring & the players have a great time dancing. Fans get to keep the footballs that land in the crowd or are thrown to the fans by players after scoring. Players are available for autographs & photos after the game too. Ticket prices run around $25, however ours were only $11 each.
We went to the first game of the season - Colorado Spartans (69) vs Las Vegas Kings (18). There were no signs that we saw for parking so it took awhile to figure out where to go. The game ball was brought out by one of the city councilman driving an exotic sports car. The team as a whole was pretty talented. The Quarterback had a good arm & was quite mobile, the RunningBack was fast with great moves & the Defense was solid, giving up only 18 points. The DJ & the sound system was very good, as were the Spartan Cheerleaders. The coliseum seats seem to be original 1950 vintage - they were hard & wooden with no cupholders. There were a some food options, we had burgers & they were just so so & the chicken tenders (3) with fries for $12 - they were pretty tasty. In addition, there was plenty of Spartan merch to purchase as well. All in all a great game & night. I'm looking forward to a fun season! read more
