Visitor & Driver Tips
During Rockies home games, concerts, and major LoDo holiday weekends, parking demand increases significantly and local street closures may occur around 19th and 20th Streets. Drivers are strongly advised to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes ahead of scheduled first pitch or showtime to avoid traffic bottlenecks. Event-rate surcharges may apply during high-profile stadium events. Always remember to note your vehicle license plate number before walking up to the pay machine or paying through the mobile app to ensure proper parking validation.
