Visitor & Driver Tips
To experience the fastest entry and exit, register your vehicle license plate and payment method on the Metropolis mobile platform prior to arrival. During Rockies home games or large conventions, nearby street congestion increases significantly along 20th and Curtis Streets; planning an arrival window 30 to 45 minutes ahead of first pitch is highly recommended. Always keep your vehicle doors locked and tuck all personal belongings, bags, and electronics completely out of sight.
