About Denver

Denver combines big-league sports with one of the most iconic concert venues on the planet.

From spring through fall, it hosts concerts nearly every night spanning every genre from electronic to bluegrass to rock. In the city, Empower Field at Mile High is home to the Broncos and stages major stadium concerts and international soccer matches. Ball Arena hosts the Nuggets, Avalanche, and Colorado Mammoth along with touring concerts and family shows. Coors Field brings Rockies baseball to the heart of downtown in the lively LoDo neighborhood, and its rooftop offers views of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver Performing Arts Complex is one of the largest in the nation, with ten venues including the Buell Theatre for Broadway touring shows and Boettcher Concert Hall for the Colorado Symphony. The Ogden Theatre, Gothic Theatre, and Bluebird Theater form a beloved trio of mid-size concert venues run by AEG. The Mission Ballroom, opened in 2019, quickly became one of the top-rated new venues in the country.
