Facility Overview
Lot B Empower Field is an expansive, official open-air surface parking facility situated directly on Mile High Stadium Circle on the south side of Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. Located in the Sun Valley and Jefferson Park district, this lot provides premier parking access for major sporting events, stadium-scale concerts, and entertainment gatherings. Because Lot B is an open-air surface lot without parking deck ceilings or low beams, it offers virtually unrestricted vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal destination for standard passenger vehicles, oversized SUVs, light-duty pickup trucks, and taller passenger vans seeking stadium-adjacent parking.

For public transit users, the RTD Light Rail Empower Field at Mile High Station (served by the E and W Lines) sits right along the eastern side of the stadium grounds, providing seamless rail transit to Denver Union Station, Lakewood, Golden, and southern suburbs.

- Observe Stadium Tailgating Guidelines: Tailgating must be contained directly behind your vehicle stall without blocking driving lanes or adjacent parking bays.
