Plan Ahead for a Busy and Fun Saturday in the Downtown Area

Published on May 19, 2022

Denver - May 19, 2022 - It's a welcome time as spring turns to summer and there are more events for people to attend and enjoy. This Saturday, sports and music fans will have a lot to do as there are two professional sporting events and a stadium concert, but these large events will also result in more pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicle traffic in the downtown area.

With this in mind, the Denver Police Department asks people to be safe and vigilant with the number of events in close proximity. Those traveling around Coors Field, Empower Field at Mile High and Ball Arena area are encouraged to scout potential parking options, plan their routes and means of travel beforehand while allowing for plenty of extra time to arrive at their destination.

DPD offers the following tips for a successful Denver Saturday:

• Utilize mass transit - RTD provides many options for transit. Check out the best route by visiting http://www.rtd-denver.com.
• Carpool - either with a designated driver or a ride share service. Fewer cars on the roads and highways means less traffic, plus it removes the risk of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol - making it safer for all! Please ensure you enter and exit ride share vehicles in safe areas and away from traffic.
• Allow extra time - If driving, plan for extra time to arrive and park.
• Ride your bike, or use bike sharing - There is bicycle parking around Coors Field near Gates A, B and E.

Events on Saturday, May 21, include the Luke Combs concert at 6:00 p.m., at Empower Field at Mile High, the Colorado Rockies play at 6:10 p.m., at Coors Field, and the Colorado Mammoth have a playoff game at Ball Arena at 7:30 p.m.
