My view from the bar and grill inside the Coliseum
Elizabeth M.

Huge dog bear today hundreds and hundreds of dogs with different games like races and you could have your dog try hurting she things like that lots of boots lots of rescues if you're ever looking to rescue a dog there's plenty of rescues out there breed specific or not anyway nice event the Coliseum is nice and I was reading a poster where it said it's going to be renovated for a public market that will be very cool the food is pretty expensive but of course they have alcohol and coffee for sale but I'm going to go find a slice of pie someplace else

I have been to the Denver Coliseum for the stock show and recently attended a college graduation there. The parking lot is nearby and typically an additional charge. For the event I attended it was $15. The space is clean and the restrooms look to have been renovated recently. It is a good venue for large events.

Rodeo

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

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.
Jessica J.

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!

This is a row that has a club level table setup below it and is mostly an unobstructed view. Our seats were about even with the Face-Off dots in the section that the visiting team shoots twice This was a great place to watch a game if you are a fan of the visiting team. Tickets were not super duper expensive, but they also weren't as expensive as the club level. Everyone from the avalanche fans to the people that work the arena were super nice. Finally, there are some concessions that have $10 Coors and $10 Coors light. There is not anything like that in terms of price at the Staples Center/crypto.com arena in La. That should serve as an inspiration to the Kings management to have some reasonably priced concessions. Good job ball arena.

I asked the bartender if they had a menu and she glared at me and said no.

Overall it was just one bad experience during a good night, and I'm plenty willing to come back :)

A couple of things kept it from being five stars. The restrooms have some seriously inconsistent water temperatures - one faucet can be scorching hot while the next is practically shooting ice water. Also, if you're down on the floor for a concert, it can get very warm, especially when you're toward the bottom where the air seems to get trapped. A strong breeze can make all the difference. Pro tip - empty water bottles are allowed. You can fill them up at the water stations. Not very many of them but they're available. Still, the venue is straightforward to get around, and seeing a legendary hippy band there was a pretty memorable experience.

Pretty green seats that say Colorado, a cool roof that covers fans, etc. But it's an absolute shell of what it could have been especially compared to other MLS stadiums from this era. The concessions are lackluster (much like Sofi in Inglewood) the bathrooms have nice functioning ads above the urinals that are in poor shape, and there simply aren't enough water refill stations for 27,000 people. Additionally, this venue was extremely understaffed. They had unsafe conditions for getting fans in that prioritized profits over people. When I witnessed someone have a medical emergency the limited staff struggled to secure the scene. It's an absolute joke and embarrassment that a man who can afford billions to buy a baseball team can't afford enough staff at this existing dumps. At least the venue sounds decent for music. Perhaps this place used to be great, but Colorado sports and music fans deserve better than what I experienced here in 2026

Atmosphere: This was my first time attending the National…read moreWestern Stock Show, specifically the MLK Rodeo, and it was an amazing experience. 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.

The food concessions were basic, thank goodness for the food trucks outside but some of them were super pricey for a basic dish of one taco for example. One issue I noticed is a lack of handrails for the upper stands (200 level). A man fell down the stairs and a handrail would have helped him prevent the fall!! Also see emergency egress as an issue due to the number of vendor inside. The show was good and the competitions were well done.

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!

Disappointing Stadium Tour Experience…read more My son and I made advance reservations for a Saturday afternoon stadium tour, which also included access to the Sports Hall of Fame. The organizers did a good job of providing detailed information ahead of time regarding parking, stadium entry, and permitted items. The tour included visits to the suites, broadcast booth, Champion Club, and the visitors' locker room. However, several areas that many fans might hope to see, including the President's Suite and the Broncos locker room, were not part of the experience. My biggest disappointment was the field access portion of the tour. The promotional materials did not mention that the playing surface, normally Kentucky Bluegrass, had been removed and covered with rubberized mats for concerts. As a result, what is normally one of the highlights of a stadium tour was far less impressive and did not provide the game-day atmosphere I was expecting. The weather was extremely hot, around 95 degrees, and roughly three-quarters of the tour took place in areas without air conditioning. While bottled water was permitted and water fountains were available throughout the facility, the heat still made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised by the pricing associated with many of the premium amenities, including the suites and bourbon club. The focus seemed heavily geared toward high-end clientele rather than the average fan. Having toured numerous baseball and football stadiums around the country, I would rank this tour near the bottom of my list. While there were a few interesting moments, the overall experience fell short of my expectations, and I would be hesitant to recommend it to others.
