Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff at Sports Venues in Denver

Empower Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos & Stadium Concerts)

Address: 1701 Bryant Street, Denver, CO 80204 • Stadium main line: (720) 258-3000

Where do buses drop off?

• Plan your drop-off with the stadium: Rideshare drop-off is at the northeast corner by Gate 5 on Mile High Stadium Circle, and a taxi stand is outside the stadium on Bryant Street. Call the stadium's parking office at (720) 258-3727 before game day to set your bus drop-off.
• Skip the rideshare walk: Rideshare pickup (Uber and Lyft) is at the Ball Arena Rideshare Lot at 5th Street & Walnut Street, about a 15-minute walk east of the stadium. A private sports charter bus keeps your group together instead.
• Game-day timing & highway exits: Lots open 4½ hours before kickoff and gates open 2 hours before. The stadium's lot directions use I-25 Exit 210C northbound and Exit 211C southbound, with a Federal Boulevard route for every lot, and directions can change with road closures and traffic flow. The stadium recommends being at your gate an hour before kickoff, and we suggest arriving 90 minutes to 2 hours early (see the Broncos' Know Before You Go guide).

Where do buses pick up?

• Set your pickup spot with your bus company before game day; the confirmation call after you book verifies your pickup and drop-off addresses.
• Don't call your driver to the curb until every person in your group is standing together: Denver limits any vehicle to 5 minutes of idling in an hour.

Where do buses stage & park?

• Pre-purchased on-site parking permits are sold out for the season, and a limited number of first-come, first-served game-day spaces are sold in Lots A and C, so call the stadium's parking office at (720) 258-3727 well before game day to ask about parking your bus.
• Parking on neighborhood streets is illegal on event days, and violators are ticketed and towed. Denver's code also limits any vehicle over 22 feet long or 6,000 pounds to 2 hours on a public street in any seven-day period.

Best regroup point for passengers

• Before kickoff, Mane Street Presented by Ford, on the south end in front of Gates 9 and 10, is easy to find (it closes at kickoff).
• After the game, pick one gate as your meeting point, such as Gate 5 at the northeast corner.

Quick Tips for Denver Game-Day Charter Bus Groups

• Arrive 90 to 120 minutes early: I-25 through the Central Platte Valley (Exits 210 to 213 for Empower Field, Ball Arena, and Coors Field) backs up early on game days, and arriving early gives your group plenty of time to tailgate and clear security. That's our advice; the venues ask fans to be at their gate about an hour before the start.
• Respect Denver's 5-minute idling rule: Denver's idling law limits any vehicle to 5 minutes of idling in any hour (loading and unloading time doesn't count for buses). Assemble your entire group at your regroup point before texting your driver to pull up!
• Know the bag rules: Empower Field and Folsom Field allow clear bags up to 12" x 6" x 12" or a small bag up to 4.5" x 6.5". Ball Arena allows only small clutches up to 4" x 6" x 1.5". Coors Field allows soft-sided, single-pocket bags up to 16" x 16" x 8", and DICK'S Sporting Goods Park allows soft-sided bags up to 14" x 14" x 6". The best part of renting a private bus? You can leave extra jackets, other bags, and tailgating coolers on the bus during the game!
• Match your bus to your tailgating & team gear: Bringing coolers or team equipment bags? Book a full-size 56-passenger charter bus with large under-floor storage bays. Just bringing fans? A 15- to 50-passenger party bus with LED lighting, premium sound, and a bar area turns the ride to the stadium into the pre-game party!
• Need ADA access? Need a wheelchair lift and securement spots for fans or athletes? Mention your accessibility needs when you get your quote or call us at (720) 594-1660, so we can match you with an ADA-accessible bus.
