Ball Arena

This is one of the best venues in the city of Denver. Regardless of the event you've come to see, the audience participation is electrifying. No matter where you sit, you have a great view of the event. Nuggets/Avs' games get crazy. The support for the home team is all love, but we respect those cheering for the opponents. The audio for concerts is astounding and yet memorable. Photography and videos are welcomed. The food is great, especially in the box seating area. It is fairly priced for this size of arena. The entire venue is cashless, parking also. The walk from the parking lot to the venue is about a 10-15 walk but a simple warning. Memorize your parking spot because there are similar numbers on the lot but different zones.

Ball Arena is one of Denver's premier venues for entertainment, being the home of the Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Avalanche. Additionally, some of the most famous musicians that still tour today find their way to this arena. With both teams performing at near-championship levels every year, a game here is absolutely electric and rivals any other stadium experience I have ever had! The concert-going experience here does leave you wanting more in a city that hosts both Red Rocks and Mission Ballroom, but it has always gotten the job done and certainly never led to a bad concert experience. Parking is always expensive here, I highly suggest parking at the nearby Auraria Campus for great savings in exchange for a 5 minute additional walk each way.

The staff are friendly, and everything is always clean and organized. Seats are comfortable and the atmosphere during games are electric. Only downside is the food and drinks, they are pretty pricey for what you get. Still, definitely worth visiting for a game or concert.

Awesome experience! Visited Colorado for a bachelor trip and glad I went to a game (nuggets vs pelicans) such a different vibe from the east coast hustle n bustle im used to. The lines to get through security were such a breeze. Also cool to see the refillable water bottles for sale and water fountains throughout the stadium! Game was last minute but thankful to check it off the bucket list! Would love to experience a hockey game next visit!

Really fun experience for our first Nuggets game. We parked about a half mile from the Arena in a parking structure, and it was a pretty decent walk if you give yourself time. The bathrooms need some maintenance, and the seats are very small and close together. It would be nice if the drink holders could at least be lifted to allow a little more room. The higher you go, the less room there is. However, the overall experience was fun, and I look forward to being able to go again!

Electric environment at a Stars vs Avalanche playoff game. Nice area outside, lower level inside concourse was average in terms of design/feel. Can't speak to food/drink quality, but prices looked reasonable. Friendly staff.

Had the privilege of seeing Disturbed, Three Days Grace and Sevendust live at this stadium. Great experience with good options on food. Expect to pay $20/person for food. $15/beer. VIP suites are very nice, and the stadium is very open allowing an audience of up to 20k people. Many places to stay nearby makes the an easy spot to visit and stay the night in downtown Denver. Will definitely come visit again!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

Ballerina is one of the best places to go for concerts, or any other type of venue always have a really good time. The bathrooms are always clean and kept up, which is a big deal for me at any stand food or alcohol. Everybody always seems to be very nice Definitely go with a credit card that is loaded with cash on it because the prices are a little steep... we went to go see Chris Brown concert is 11:11 tour he put on a heck of a good show, my fiancé bought tickets months ago for my birthday to go see Chris and it was a really good time. Thanks ball arena. Thanks For The Read Until Next Time......

I saw Incubus! Was in a booth for a work-related thing and the seats were great. Brandon, still has it, BTW! It's a smaller space than some other booths I've been in but hey, can't complain, too much, either. Just glad to be there and get these tickets. The view was good! Sound was good! Decent place for seeing a concert.

My nephew was in town and the best way to spend a Friday night was at Ball arena watching the Avalanche play. Tickets were reasonable for the lower section. One huge dislike was how narrow the seats were. However, we made do and fully immersed in the experience. Doors opened roughly an hour before game time. We made a quick stop at a few of the team shops and found some cool merchandise that was on sale. There are a ton of food stands located throughout the venue. Prices are a bit steep which is expected for a professional team. The view from our seats was great! We got to watch quite the nail biter and witness the first win of the season! Overall, great venue I 10/10 recommend!

Ball arena is a great venue for sports, concerts and shows. I've seen them all. The food & drink selections are good with average pricing. The staff is friendly and helpful. My only con (minus 1 star) is their new bag policy or lack of. You can only take in a wallet size "bag", not even clear ones like surrounding venues. Huge inconvenience to not be able to even bring a clutch.

Visit Denver few times a year always enjoy a stop here! Very sweet arena and vibe they got going on at games! I have had some pretty solid food there too for being a stadium! Only thing I could complain about which seems a lot of places are backing away from this but they don't have a box office making you use ticket master and deal with fees

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.

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.

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.

We were celebrating my godsons birthday with a ticket to AJR and still celebrating my 60th!!! Loved the concert and the arena itself was nice. We had brought a sign and was told it was too big. Nowhere on the site for Ball Arena was there a size limit on signs. Once we got in we saw signs bigger than his. Very disappointing.

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.

I had the best time here. Maybe bc the Denver Nuggets were playing, and it was fun rooting for them even though they weren't the team that I normally root for. The Nuggets won, which was awesome to see. The staff seemed great, and the facility was too. The only thing is that it could be a little cleaner. The pricing for the food and drinks was a bit outrageous, but that's how they make money, so what can you expect. I was only able to see the 100 section, so I can't say much for the other parts, but it was cool. I was able to check out the gift shop, too. I did purchase something on clearance, so that ended up being a great deal, and it was a great way to commemorate my experience. I wish the Nuggets well in the playoffs, but let's go Knicks!!!

The venue is comfortable and clean. Clearly relatively new inside with electronic entry via QR type code as a ticket. They had security and scanners. Beware if you've had surgery with pins or plates you'll set off alarms. I did and was "searched" my bag. I explained but it was similar to the airport and was slightly inconvenient. I don't eat concession food but did have a cocktail. Expect high prices. The bartenders were pleasant. I would go to another concert there but choose different seats!

Worst Game Day Experience Ever--Ball Arena Ruined Our Night and Took Our Money I have NEVER felt so frustrated and disrespected by a venue as I did by Ball Arena during the Nuggets vs. Thunder game on 11/06/24. Here's how they wasted our time, money, and energy--all because they can't manage a basic bag policy or communicate effectively with fans. We arrived early, ready for a great night, only to be stopped by Argus security, who claimed our bags were "too big." These were the SAME bags we've brought to Ball Arena before with no issues. If the policy changed, it was buried in fine print that no one would notice--it certainly wasn't in any clear, visible place on our tickets or confirmation email. What were our options? Either return our bags to a car (which we didn't have) or trek to Union Station in a SNOWSTORM to store them. So, trusting their advice (because we didn't want to miss the first quarter or take another Lyft home), we took the light rail to Union Station in freezing weather, only to find out that the storage van they directed us to was CLOSED and reservation-only. Now we're stranded, freezing, and down $50 in transportation fees with no way to get back to the game without waiting 50 MINUTES for the next train. We ended up doing what we tried to avoid--Lyfting back home just to get our car, paying another $30 for parking, and walking a long way back to the venue. We missed half of the $200 game we'd paid for, all thanks to Ball Arena's COMPLETE FAILURE in guest support and planning. To Ball Arena management: If you're going to enforce a new bag policy, communicate it LOUD AND CLEAR. And how on earth do you implement this policy without providing on-site storage? The lack of common sense is baffling. Fans pay good money to be here, and you're sending them on wild goose chases based on terrible information. If you care about your fans at all, fix this NOW. Otherwise, expect more of us to walk away for good. Ball Arena: I'm DONE.

If I could leave negative I would I come I. With a bag that I bought specially to go in to stadiums and what not a WEEK later it's not good. Be consistent. Y'all are ass figure it out my god. Love what happens in the stadium and the rules are different day to day ASs

Had yet another great experience at Ball Arena thanx to the amazing manager Chelsea Schott for always making every experience magical. She is a supportive and attentive manager to her team and customers. The venue is always well maintained to support every unique event. The food is usually warm and delicious, the drinks and beers are the perfect temp. Last night we got to see the legendary Gabriel Inglesias " Fluffy " which has been on my bucket list for over 10 years and so grateful to how memorable last night was and his set exceeded my expectations.

Mannnnnn first time coming here and mannnnnn I do not ever want to wear my Dallas stars jersey lol! This place is so awesome! The people are friendly for the most part, so many food choices, and the ambiance is pretty mellow . I been to several hockey games and I will say the Avs fans remind me of the angels but a little more aggressive. The seats and how it's designed is great from any row and level. I got a 130 section and it was awesome! Can't wait to go to a nugget game next!

When I got to the arena it had started to rain, if you have CLEAR you get to go in a shorter security line. It helped expedite my entry quite a bit. This is a fairly new security approach that they have implemented which I think is great! It was a fantastic concert and the sound and light display was amazing! Everything was very clean, tons of food vendors and ample restrooms throughout the arena. I was seated in section 322 and then went over to 332 to be near my girls. But then was with some friends in their box seats. There were no bad seats. The only thing that I was disappointed about was the lack of security in the parking lot. My car was unlocked because I need to replace my key fob and someone ransacked my center console. I paid $30 to park near the arena and it was in aisle 7 near not too far away from the parking attendant's view. Yet, this happened. I would think for $30 the arena would have security vehicle patrolling the area. Other than that my overall experience was really good.

It's so easy getting to Ball Arena. It's very easy to park, or the light rail gets you very close to the doors. $25 to park with a quick exit was out choice. Our seats were the best but we could see most of the stage, just not the special screen the band brought. We are ate at the Colorado social on level 2, it's like quick service. Everything was brought out with whatever condiments you wanted. We enjoyed the chicken strips and fish and chips. Both were hot with crispy double coated fries. The staff were amazing! We loved each one, they all had smiles and stopped to chat with us. It felt very welcoming. I would see any concert here.

Cool concert venue. Holds something like 20k people. The food they serve here is only in the likes of burgers, nachos and hot dogs. Nothing special and it is very overpriced. I just bought two waters for 11$ and of course everyone expects tip. Get seats as close as possible even though it is expensive. I was sitting in section 102 row 18 and it was decent however the tickets were $175 each. Alicia Keys isn't ready to start in time so at the moment it is over an hour delay. However the venue is air conditioned and they have food and drinks and bathrooms to entertain one selves with.

Love to support the Avs at home! Enjoy ourselves every time we go to Ball Arena. Yes food and beverages are going to be more expensive, but that is totally expected. Go Avs!

My favorite place but honestly it's for the work I do and Go Avs!!!! I'm fortunate enough to take care of the guards for the Ice Patrol. The staff here is always friendly and I love coming here!!!!!

Great show! Trans Siberian Orchestra was a fantastic and thrilling experience tonight at Ball Arena!

Pepsi Center (PepsiCo) had its name on the building when it opened in 1999 under an original 20-year deal worth $68 million. Kroenke landed one of the world's biggest naming rights deals last year when Social Finance agreed to pay $400 million over 20 years to brand Kroenke's new $5 billion Los Angeles shrine as SoFi Stadium. In 2022 Denver-based Ball Corp., which manufacturers 50% of the aluminum cans in North America is estimated to pay $6 million a year for the sponsorship naming rights. Their goal is to recycle 70% of all aluminum used during games. KSE global collection of sports properties owns the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and the Premier League's Arsenal F.C., SoFi Stadium and Emirates Stadium, along with the Colorado Rapids (MLS) and the Colorado Mammoth (NLL), Nuggets and Avalanche. As a longtime Denver resident, I get to to enjoy professional sports across every month of the year. To see the Avs win cup in 1996, 2001, 2022. And see a Jokic triple double every other night on his way to 3 straight MVP is the top tier way to witness this American "play of life".

I've been to this stadium for various events - concerts, comedy shows, hockey, basketball, watch parties, etc. I think it's great! The food vendors are pretty typical, nothing that I've been blown away by. The employees are always friendly and there are plenty of vendors for drinks and food. It's a stadium, drinks and food are not cheap. I end up investing about $15/tall can of hard seltzer. There are a lot of restrooms but you know that you'll stand in line if it's a sold-out game and you're heading there right at the end of a period! It's to be expected, and it's part of the experience! And the restrooms are clean and have plenty of TP. Parking can get tricky so I just uber. Getting picked up by rideshare can be a bit annoying too so I usually just walk down the block a bit and request from a different area.

I had to throw away my clear bag upon entry because it was too big. Woman several people behind me walked right in with the exact same clear bag. Inside, I saw one other woman with a regular purse at least three times the size of mine. Row 20 seats 4-6 in section 112- no knee room- row narrows near the end. We've been to many games- never had a previous problem with my bag or our seats.

Omg! My wife and I love Patrick at the Coors Banquet bar in ball arena around section 136. So personal even in a line of a bunch of people!!!!!! Fast service, good conversation, and amazing vibes. Definitely recommend going to the coors banquet bar if you're in the ball arena and in that section!!!! Thank you so much Patrick!!!!!!

Great arena for a hockey game! The Colorado avs played here and the game was great. It was easy to get in and out of the place. Lots of great food and drink options. If you can go to this spot, I highly recommend going to any game or show here!

Dip n dots are gorgeous. That's one thing both the avalanche and food have in common. Service was so great they gave me water

This is where the defending Stanley Cup champions play? Yikes! The Coyotes 5,000 seat Mullet Arena is better than this arena. Entering the arena was not fun as you enter into this small area where your ticket is scanned and everything bottlenecks. You then have to push and shove your way to the escalator that takes you up to where the different sections are. The arena feels very small and is very dated. I was able to walk around the entire arena to check out the food options in a matter of just a few minutes. The food options kind of suck and are just generic vendors. It feels like a concession stand at a high school football game. This place needs to be renovated BADLY or a new arena for the Avalanche needs to be built. I visited here in December to see my Rangers BEAT the Avalanche in a shootout. Igor! Igor! Igor!

Avalanche game! Takes security seriously. Can't bring bags into the venue. Didn't eat any food so can't speak to veg options.

Great venue. Home of The World Champion Avalanche hockey team and #1 in the West Denver Nuggets. A popular place to be so ticket prices are up. This evening the nuggets destroyed my Pacers. Maybe next year? Try Tick Pick for your best price with no fees. All F & B is Credit Card ONLY. Parking depending on how far you want to walk is between 6$ up to 50$. Market street garages have deals. I paid 6$. Root on your favorite Team at Ball Arena....

Absolutely great arena for concerts! I saw Foreigner and Lover Boy here recently, and it was such a great experience! The sound quality is great, usually they have big screens to better see the stage but this time they didn't but it was still good! They have lots of stations to get drinks, which is great, and bartenders who know how to make great mixed drinks! They have plenty of bathrooms, the wait is never too long and the line for merchandise went so quickly and the staff maintaining the line were great! I always try to get seats on level 200 because, to me, it's the best seats to see the stage and fewer people so smaller wait times. They also get you out of the stadium and parking lot with ease! I have never exited a concert so quickly before, they have staff directing you and multiple exit points. I love going here for concerts and will be back!

If The Rock was in the Ball Arena on June 26, 2022; he would have said something like "The Rock is back in the Most Electrifying Arena in Professional Sports." On this evening approximately 18,000 spectators strong were not supporting the WWE. They were supporting their Avalanche in the Final Stanley Cups Playoff game against the Tampa Bay Lightenin when a Watch Party transformed the arena. My dad, brother, and myself were three of them.       Opened in 1999, Ball Arena is home to the Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Mammoth (LaCrosse), WWE events, rock legends (concerts), and more. The last time I was in Denver in 2017, this 675,000 square feet are a was called the Pepsi Center. In October 2020, it became the Ball Arena.     A really neat thing about the Ball Arena is that it is in walking distance to most of Downtown. It is contigient with downtown by ways of the University of Colorado Denver which connects to Larimer Square. Then it is contigient to Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo) by ways of Blake and Wawatta Streets. It is close to the South Platte River Trail and public transit stations. The reality is that you can park in the nearby neighborhoods and make a day of it by doing Denver in the day and Ball Arena at night. Because we were staying in the downtown Homewood Suites we ate off the 16th Street Mall and walked here. Going back we left immediately after the game with the safety in numbers of the crowd.     There are several entrances to the arena. We arrived by ways of the 11th Avenue entrance. At this time the ticket sales were where you purchased online then scanned your phone. I am not a fan of this because I feel that by now people should be allowed to use cash. Just like the competing team, passing through security was like "Lightenin" quick. With a crowd of around 18,000 people there were a sufficient number of people to help with directions. It was no trouble getting to the upper levels.     My impression of the 22 year old-plus arena is that it is neither the most modern or dismal. This is an attractive facility that is functional.    From my observation the food and beverage choices were a far cry from the Avalanches spectacular playing. As expected the prices were expensive. Being that it is so close to Downtown, we filled up in the Cheesecake Factory.    Sitting in a level that might of qualified as a "Mile High seat," it seemed to me that every seat provided a magnificent view below. By the way, they were comfortable seats. I give a lot of credit for this nonexistent nosebleed seating to the state of the art four-sided rectangular scoreboard that acts as a four-sided jumbotron. Thanks to it, the action always seemed closeup.     They did a commendable job with the Watch Party. It really was like seeing the Stanley Cup Final Playoff in person. The mascot entertained the crowd. They engaged the crowd in "let's make some noise." The well behaved ecstatic fans cheering on their champions added to this electrifying experience that ultimately led to Downtown Denver chanting "We won the cup." The Watch Party was so well done that there were times that I expected to see the Colorado Avalanche below. Of course the Watch Party became more electrifying when the Avalanche did it and won the Stanley Cup.     If the need came to visit the restroom, there were a sufficient number of them. For an electrifying Stanley Cup Final Playoff crowd, they were impressively clean.    For an arena with an estactic crowd of close to 18,000 people shouting "We won the Cup," the staff did a commendable job exiting the crowd from the arena. From that point Denver Police patrolled the nearby intersections as far as and into LoDo. From there on we followed the positive energy of fans shouting "We won the cup" up to the heart of the 16th Street Mall and ultimately to the Homewood Suites.     The Ball Arena gave me the never to forget experience of visiting a city and witnessing their NHL team win the Stanley Cup in a Watch Party that seemed to be live in front of me. In the words of yours truly and not The Rock, "On the night of June 26, 2022 during the Watch Party, The Ball Arena was the Most Electrifying Arena in Professional Sports when the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup."

Another awesome concert here again at this venue. This time Foreigner! The concert was dope! Great time jamming here.

Ball Arena didn't care about my child with a disability. Upon booking, we were informed by phone call with Customer Service that my child would be recognized for his disability, and would be accommodated through Gate 1. We arrived at Gate 1 and were refused accommodations. Although we were cleared with Customer Service, the gatekeeper told us our child didn't qualify as a disability?? Wow. After filing a complaint with the Customer Service Manager, we were told we would get a call back to address the situation, but never did. We paid a lot of money to attend an event at Ball Arena, and overall, our night was shot due to this. Wasted money. Will never attend another event at Ball Arena.

Had so much fun seeing the Blackhawks play here- even those we lost, terribly. The bathrooms were super clean, they had great food, and the staff were super kind and patient when it came to things like hockey game etiquette and me taking a whole five minutes to chug my last beer. My only issue was with security- I got my tickets from Groupon and the woman at the front made me feel kind of bad and stressed out about that, saying things like they didn't work with Groupon and if the barcode wasn't in my apple wallet with the ticket, it's not a ticket. I'm really thankful for the manager who stepped in and had me scan a QR code that fixed the whole thing- she was very sweet, too! Will definitely be back here for another game/event, but won't be purchasing through Groupon in the future.

We came to join the excitement in Denver for the Colorado Avalanche watch party. They did make it to the 2022 Stanley Cup series and I'm very excited for the team and the locals to celebrate them. I was surprised on the away game, The Ball Arena still hosts 10,000 fans to make the energy electric. LETS GO AVS!! I really miss calling this arena The Pepsi Center. Home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche teams.

Always a fun experience! Parking: I went to the nuggets game with my dad who is handicapped. I made a wrong turn into a different parking lot that did not have handicap parking available. The girl there was very sweet and understanding! Said it happens all the time and pointed me in the correct direction for handicap parking! It was so easy and plenty of spots left! I do suggest getting there early though if you need it. The elevator is directly to the left when you enter the building. Very easy to use. I wish they had other elevators closer to our section so we didn't have to walk too far. The end of the game was a little of a struggle. The elevator would not stop on the second floor which seemed like forever but I'm guess what was 5 minutes. When it finally stopped the attendant said she was going up and we said we will still get on. We didn't wanna wait any longer. Besides not having enough elevators and not having them stop on every floor. The overall experience was fantastic!

A wonderful arena through and through! I've been here for sporting events and concerts and every seat in the house is great. It has convenient public transportation and typically has affordable prices (especially given how good the teams are).

This is my second time to Ball Arena post covid regulations. It's great to see humans back together harmoniously enjoying themselves to great live events. This glorious evening I spent it with the most gorgeous & beautiful humming bird to grace this earth Ms. Erykah Badu, for a Denver stop on her Unfollow Me Tour. This was a great venue to finally get to see her live. They had the venue set up perfectly like small Amphitheatre. All the nose bleed seats were covered by a black tapestry. Next time that entire arena needs to be filled though she is amazing live and great entertainer. There were plenty of food & beverage vendors for everyone to enjoy. The service was great & fast because you didn't have to wait on line long & miss parts of the show. On the main promenade there was a nice long booth for tour merchandise to be purchased. Every staff personnel knew where the merchandise booth was no matter what level or area you were, even in the drink line. That to me is amazing and great attention to detail to make sure people get to where they need to during events. That's amazing customer service to me in my humble opinion!!! So big applause to Ball Area staff!!! For this wonderful event I had the pleasure of having floor seats front & center. I had to this was maybe a once in a lifetime event for me getting to see Erykah Badu & Yasiin Bey (fka MOS DEF) live & in person!!! It was expensive, those fees are ridiculous!!!! But the price to see them was worth every freaking penny to me!!! I have always missed seeing Erykah when she's in Colorado. This up close center MainStage was everything, fantastic performance. I'm humbled by her natural beauty & voice & energy....I felt like I was in high school & college again. Thank you for a great performance Ms. Erykah Badu .....Queen of Neo Soul & Positive Energy!!!

Parking and concessions @ Ball Arena is an absolute rip off. It's unbelievable how expensive they gauge people for that.

The ball arena has been kept in great shape and had a new feel to it even. We were there for an early birthday gateaway for my 40th when both my Lions and Red Wings would be taking on Denver (which is Ben's hometown). Ben got us great seats not too close to the ice but close enough. Honestly, if you are right on the ice then you can't see everything because you're too close. It was really nice that the Avalanche honored Demaryius Thomas before the game. Walking around it is a basic arena with several food places and drink areas that had your classic items but also a lot of local stuff which I always love when going to a new city/state. Parking made us laugh as they use the Elitch Gardens parking which was $20 if you used a credit card or $25.00 if you used cash. First time ever seeing that it os cheaper to use a card. You walk over a bridge to get to the area and man was it cold on that December night with the wind smacking us in the face. Currently they are requiring everyone to show proof of being vaccinated or a negative covid test. The nice thing was they had a bus right out the gates for people to a test. Not sure of the price for that but it would be handy and there was a long line. I am glad we didn't have to wait in the cold to get tested. I will have the major disappointment was the signal once you stepped through the doors of the arena. It was like they had it blocked or something. We had digital tickets and couldn't get them to open up. Ben had to walk outside to get them to open and then rush inside before the codes changed. While he did that I saw several people getting out of line trying to get their phones to work as well. Didn't seem to be a phone specific issue as I saw both samsung and apple phones alike having issues. It was pretty frustrating. Our online posts or text messages wouldn't even go through until we walked back out after the game.

Formerly known as Pepsi Center, Ball Arena is home to The Denver Nuggets, Avalanche and Mammoth. Along with sports, Ball Arena hosts concerts, comedians, wrestling and a plethora of other events throughout the year. There's sure to be something fun for everyone! There are several parking lots and it costs about $15-20 depending on how you pay. I recommend arriving early and eating before coming in to snag a good spot. Entering is quick and painless if you arrive early. There are three entrances, one in the grand, the east and through the Breckenridge Brewery. You go through metal detectors and then scan your tickets. Easy peasy! Ball Arena really has it all. The food is good, there's not a bad seat in the house and the staff are helpful and nice. The only negative I can find is the prices are expensive, but that's expected at any venue. Also, during breaks and intermissions, the halls can get incredibly crowded, and food and drink lines will be long, but it's not unnavigable. If you ever get the chance to buy club level seats on the 200 level, do it! The area is secluded and has everything you need other than merchandise. All in all, Ball Arena is a great place to watch your favorite sports team or see your favorite artist perform.
