This is where you can read more about approved bags for Ball Arena.
- Reserved Parking – Purchasing a parking pass in advance can help reduce hassle on gameday. However, there are parking options near the arena that allow you to pay on site. This is where you can learn more about parking options.
- Cashless Payment – Ball Arena does not accept cash at most concession stands, so be sure to plan accordingly (learn more).

How to Park at Ball Arena
When you park at Ball Arena, you have two basic options:
- Pre-purchase a parking pass (learn more).
- Drive up and pay for parking on site.
Purchasing a parking pass in advance is always helpful and can reduce the hassle of paying on site. Parking passes can be purchased through the Ball Arena parking page or through online ticket brokers like Ticketmaster, StubHub, and Vivid Seats.
There are four main parking entrances to the Ball Arena grounds. The two most common are the 7th Street Entrance and the Speer Boulevard Entrance.
If you are coming from the north, the Speer Boulevard Entrance will make the most sense. It is located at the intersection of Speer Boulevard and Chopper Circle (view this entrance).
If you are coming from the south, west, or from downtown Denver, the entrances along Auraria Parkway will make the most sense. There are entrances at 7th, 9th, and 11th streets (off of Auraria).
The 7th Street Entrance is the most popular for basic public parking and it leads into the large parking lot area that is west of the arena (view this entrance). It’s also worth noting that Elitch Gardens Water Park (which is north of the arena off of Speer Blvd) is also used for public parking for certain events (learn more).
