Getting There Without Losing Your Mind

Ball Arena sits in the Auraria neighborhood, right off I-25 at Auraria Parkway.

Light rail drops you at the Pepsi Center/Elitch Gardens station, which means parking on Speer Boulevard the night of a sold-out show is a choice you don't have to make.

The commuter rail from Union Station gets you there in minutes and costs significantly less than the parking garage.

What to Know Before You Go

The arena holds around 20,000, depending on configuration, and the sightlines are genuinely solid from most of the bowl.

The upper deck on the side sections is where you'll notice the distance. Everywhere else, you're in reasonable shape. Floor setups vary by show, so an end-stage configuration can actually make a 20,000-seat building feel a lot more like a real concert than the capacity suggests.

Doors typically open 90 minutes before showtime. The concourse moves well once you learn to avoid the main entry bottleneck on Chopper Circle right at door time.
