    Rodeo
    Sara M.

    A great place for big shows! It didn't seem to big or too small. You can still see the main event pretty high up which is where we were. We went to see the rodeo / bull riding and had a blast! The ticketing is a bit confusing & customer service wasn't the nicest but we figured it out and still had a great night!

    Parking is free which is a huge plus, but it also took a long time, and they had very few attendants to ensure that people parked properly and to speed the process up. For a sold out event like the rodeo it would really streamline things and eliminate accidents. Other than that the seats are a bit small so you are really packed in tight, but I think that is to be expected from an older building like this one. The sight lines are fantastic and there really didn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. There were plenty of concession stands and vendors as well and since it is a smaller venue it doesn't take too long to walk around the entire thing.

    Gem & Mineral Show 2020 If you go during the weekend, there is probably a line. But that's just for the first building- you can walk into the other building without waiting. They told us once we were at the front of the line. They also had us register with name, phone number and email via a QR code on your phone/ website. It may have held up some people at the door who took longer to enter that info into their phones. Once inside, the gems and minerals delivered as expected- gorgeous! The food and drinks were mostly outside in a food truck area. They asked that everyone eating and drinking do so under the tent- no eating while walking with the mask off. That was actually a pretty good idea as it's impossible to control people just wondering around with masks off. My only recommendation would be to have more drink areas as some of the shoppers were there all day long, and they were quite dehydrated after such a long time. Overall - I'm glad they went ahead and held the event. Apparently the other ones earlier in the year had been cancelled- so the vendors & a lot of the shoppers who own stores were happy they did!

    Facility is run down and not well kept. The parking is horrible and takes forever to get in, but they still charge you $15! Having been at coliseums in other cities, this is not well run and I will avoid events here if I can. Unfortunate!

    We showed up tonight for the infamous Ringling Bro's and Barnum and Bailey Circus - The Denver coliseum has been the home for events like this and also the western stock show- It is a not as popular nowadays because of new arenas like the Pepsi Center- But on the up side its cheaper in many ways like you don't have to pay for parking because it has a huge parking lot behind it- Food and drinks are also cheaper and most people don't realize how much money they save if they come down to the box office to purchase event tickets rather then online surcharges - Any coming events in the near future should be sought out, because with the way Denver is growing and the soon to be work on I-70 highway this to will be a memory from old pictures taken from photographer's as myself -

    Your basic food.

    I have lived in Denver all my life and somehow I don't think I have ever been to the Coliseum until this year for some Cutthroats games. It is old school. There really is no bad seat. I think the furthest seat from the ice is like 28 rows back, so that translates to a pretty good experience as far as being able to see and experience the action. I have sat behind the Cutthroat bench and farther up and I would say it is even better farther away. The seats are the wood plank style, so they can be hard to sit on for a long period, but they are wide. The biggest drawback is they don't have cup holders - which leads to lots of spills. The score board is nice and easy to see. They always are good at putting up the action so you never miss anything. The bathrooms are basic, but clean. The concessions are your basic arena food (hot dogs, popcorn, pizza, etc...) and about what you would pay at Pepsi Center. And the parking is free, although it is a pretty rough lot in need of paving. One big negative is that it is really hard to find the parking lot on the first time there (if you use Google maps it will take you to the Stock Show lots). Just remember the free lot is basically behind the arena off 44th & McFarland Dr. Once you find it, it is a breeze to get there again. Plus it has easy access to I-70 for easy on/off the highway. It is actually a pretty low key, nice old school place. No frills. No glitz. Just a solid place to see an event. It is great for the Cutthroats game! A-OK in my book!

The walk wasn't too bad but in the snow, it was a mission. The stadium is very nice outside, you get to see some status .. Hall of Fame stuff, and broncos statue as well. Inside the stadium is nice, the seats are regular stadium seats so nothing special with it. If you're lucky to go to the Suite Level area or the Press Box then it's very nice there. The game was great until it started having the snow storm which likely affected the game outcome.

All friendly AFC West interdivision ribbing aside, this is a great place for a game or concert. If you're rooting for the opposing team and curious what a game day experience is like, the Broncos fans are a friendly and welcoming group, even when you're decked out in opposing team gear. I always seem to make friends with the folks around me through playful banter. RTD trains will take you to the stadium in roughly 10 minutes from the downtown station and can get you there from most parts of the greater area. Denver in general is extremely walkable and public transportation friendly. If time permits, I recommend going downtown for some fun and good food before or after the game. No DD required.

It happens to be their home opening weekend and they were going against the highly touted Philadelphia Phillies. We arrived to Coors Field on a Saturday for an evening game. The stadium is located in a nice area in downtown Denver. Paid parking is accessible along the streets, multiple parking lots, and parking garages all around. There was a jersey hoodie giveaway to the first 20,000 fans so we decided to arrive a little earlier than usual. The jersey hoodie was good quality for a free giveaway. It was a nice touch. We were able to walk around before the game started and see how beautiful the stadium was. It looked like every seat had a great view. As for food we ordered the Tournadough pretzel twister with butter and Parmesan, Rocky Mountain oysters with fries, Rockie Dog, a tall Elysian Space Dust and a couple of Chardonnay wines. Everything was delicious. The Tornadough was a tasty combo of both sweet and salty. It was soft and chewy in a pleasant way. The Rocky Mountain oysters were unique and crispy. I could not tell it was bull testicles. Lol. The Rockie Dog was scrumptious with all the toppings and condiments. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Coors Field. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The game itself was entertaining at times but I wish there could have been more scoring due to the infamous Denver "thin air." We were able to catch the sunset from our seats which was amazing. The price point of all the food and the tickets were more than fair. I hope to be back when my favorite baseball team, the San Francisco Giants play vs the Rockies.

Thank you very much for reaching out to me to fully understand what happened. Saturday, September 27, 2025, was my first professional soccer game. Minnesota United vs. Colorado Rapids. My brother, sister-in-law and nephew flew in from Minneapolis to Denver to take me to the game. I was very excited and happy my family came to visit me in Denver. The fun ended 10 minutes after the game started. We sat in Section 131. We were told by a season ticket holder to "STFU and no one wants to live in Minnesota so why don't you STFU and moved to the visitor's section?" This coming from a father of two little girls, under the age of 10, and who had no problem swearing at us to shut up. Is this the kind of season ticket holders you have at your establishment? Another couple also told us to shut up. Excuse me, but we're at a soccer game. MN United fans chant throughout the game. I was appalled and it left a terrible taste in my mouth. My 20-year-old nephew had to tell the father, "It's dog days here, or we'd be sitting where the dogs are at, so please have a little respect." You might want to share with your fans your Fan Code of Conduct you have on your website. They clearly missed the mark Saturday night, and I felt extremely threatened.

The atmosphere was awesome from the moment we arrived. I have never been in a place with so many cowboy hats. It truly felt like stepping into a whole different world. Cowboys and cowgirls everywhere!Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and social. Even people sitting next to us were chatting and excited to talk about the events. The energy in the Denver Coliseum was great, and seeing all the different rodeo events was really neat. Price: I bought our tickets online directly from the National Western Stock Show website. Tickets for the MLK Rodeo were about $44-$45 per person. Each day or event has a different price, so it depends on what you choose, but I felt the price was fair for the experience. Transportation: We drove our own car, and transportation itself was fine, but parking was honestly ridiculous. I saw parking prices as high as $70. We ended up finding a spot not too far away for $40, which still felt expensive. If you live in downtown Denver, I would highly recommend taking an Uber or Lyft it would probably be cheaper and way less stressful. Crowd: It was honestly pretty crowded almost every seat was filled but it was still a really good time. Even with how packed it was, there was enough space between seats to stay comfortable and not feel cramped. My husband and I were sitting at the very top in the middle, and we still had a great view of everything. Honestly, it seems like there isn't really a bad seat in the Denver Coliseum. Events: All of the events were fun to watch, but my favorite part was definitely the kids hanging onto the sheep mutton busting. It was adorable and had the whole crowd cheering. Since it was my first rodeo, everything felt exciting and new, and there was always something happening to keep things interesting. Overall: This was a great experience, especially for a first-time rodeo. The atmosphere, events, and friendly crowd made it really special. I would highly recommend attending the National Western Stock Show at least once . It's fun, unique, and something you won't forget.

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!
