Denver residents preparing for Garth Brooks’ three‑night run at Ball Arena should expect heavy downtown traffic this weekend. The country star’s “Blame It All On My Roots” tour will hit Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., with two shows on Sunday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Plan your trip, not just your seat
To keep the roads moving, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) recommends biking or rolling to the venue. A helmet is essential, and fans may want to secure their cowboy hats separately. For those who prefer public transit, the new NextRide app simplifies trip planning.
Light‑rail riders can catch the C, E, or W lines to Auraria West, Empower Field at Mile High, Ball Arena, or Union Station. The A, B, G, and N lines also serve Union Station, providing convenient connections from across the metro area.
Bus riders have several options, including routes 1, 19, 15L, and 20, which stop near the arena. Even drivers can take advantage of park‑and‑ride facilities; a full list of locations is available on the RTD website.
Expect crowds and increased security
RTD anticipates packed trains and buses, and plans to bolster transit police presence throughout the event days. Fans should allow extra time for boarding and travel.
Upper‑level tickets remain on sale through Ticketmaster for $155, though resale sites may offer lower prices, and premium seats are available for a higher cost.
By choosing alternative transportation, Denverers can help reduce congestion, keep neighborhoods safer, and enjoy the concert experience without the headache of gridlocked streets.
