About this Location

Facility Overview

LAZ Parking - Empower Field - Lot W is a premier open-air surface parking facility situated at 1720 N Federal Blvd in Denver, Colorado. Nestled directly adjacent to the western footprint of Empower Field at Mile High, this expansive lot provides quick and convenient parking for stadium events, concerts, and nearby downtown destinations. As a flat surface asphalt lot without low ceilings or parking deck overhangs, Lot W boasts unobstructed vertical headroom. This makes it an outstanding choice for standard passenger sedans, full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that often exceed clearance limits in downtown parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated in Denver\'s vibrant Sun Valley/Jefferson Park corridor, Lot W places drivers just steps away from world-class sports and entertainment:

Empower Field at Mile High: Home of the NFL\'s Denver Broncos, premier stadium tours, and major stadium concert tours, located within an immediate 3 to 5-minute walk (approx. 0.2 miles).
Meow Wolf Denver (Convergence Station): The world-renowned immersive art experience, located approximately 0.7 miles south across West Colfax Avenue.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via North Federal Boulevard (US-287) and West 17th Avenue. The lot is positioned just off Interstate 25 (Exits 210A and 210B) and West Colfax Avenue (US-40), allowing regional travelers from northern and southern Colorado to access parking without fighting core downtown gridlock. For public transit users, the RTD Light Rail Decatur-Federal Station (serving the W Line) is roughly a 10-minute walk south, while the Empower Field at Mile High Station (serving the E and W lines) sits just across the stadium campus. Several RTD bus routes, including Route 30 and Route 31, run directly along Federal Boulevard with stops moments from the lot entrance.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Event-day parking at Empower Field operates under high demand; pre-purchasing a parking reservation via affiliated mobile apps (such as ParkMobile or SpotHero) is strongly encouraged to ensure guaranteed access and avoid sold-out turnarounds. For Denver Broncos home games and major stadium concerts, plan to arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff or showtime to avoid traffic slowdowns along Federal Boulevard and West Colfax. When exiting post-event, follow parking attendants\' directional signals toward Federal Blvd, which offers faster alternate routing to US-6 and I-25 than heading directly into stadium ring roads.
