DENVER — Sports and music fans will have a lot to do this weekend when Denver's three largest entertainment venues host football, hockey, baseball and a concert.
Empower Field at Mile High, Coors Field and Ball Arena will all see large crowds come through their gates with events planned Sunday afternoon and evening.
Ball Arena and Coors Field will also host events Friday night.
The Denver Police Department (DPD) reminds the public to be vigilant and safe due to the large number of events in close proximity.
DPD said the large events will result in more pedestrians, cyclists and vehicle traffic in the downtown area. DPD said fans should utilize RTD mass transit, consider carpooling or ridesharing and allow for extra time.
