Next Attraction: Sports

Lower Downtown Denver has its share of tourist attractions. As a part of the urban revitalization, the city leaders tried their best to guarantee that there is enough of LoDo that will make people visit and, in the long run, love it enough to stay. Putting aside bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, the neighborhood is home to some of the establishments that can turn the trip to LoDo an unforgettable experience especially to sports fans. Capitalizing on the fact that every town has a number of sports enthusiasts, LoDo accommodates two of the most popular sports arena in the state of Colorado.



Coors Field Named after Coors Brewing Company which bought the naming rights to the park, Coors Field has gone a long way from its foundation in April 26, 1995. The field houses 63 luxury suites, with the Colorado Rockies as tenants, and about 4,500 club seats. Considering the size of Coors Field, finding it is not exactly an arduous task. In case you miss it, it is only two blocks away from the Union Station. It gained a reputation of a home run-friendly park before 2002. Apparently, without the humidor, the city’s air dried out the baseballs which made them harder and traveled farther.

Pepsi Center LoDo’s other sports center is more popularly known as The Can to Denverites. It is right at the heart of the neighborhood, situated at Speer Boulevard. The doors of The Can were officially opened on 1999 with Celine Dion onstage wowing the crowd. With a concert as its first event, Pepsi Center is still used as a venue for music when the sports teams are out of town. The sports teams who have first dibs on the facility are Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Mammoth, and Colorado Crush. NHL All-Star Game in 2001, the Stanley Cup Finals of the same year, and the NBA All-Star Game in 2005 are some of the memorable games that were held in Pepsi Center.
