Ball Arena has plenty of parking lots that open a few hours before any event, including general lots, VIP spots, and ADA‑accessible parking areas you can book in advance. Since it’s downtown, parking fills up fast, especially on big basketball or concert nights, so reserving a spot ahead of time is usually a good idea. A lot of people skip the car and use rideshare services, which have designated drop‑off spots near the arena, or take the RTD light rail right to the nearby station. If you’re staying downtown, walking is totally doable and usually part of the fun with other fans heading to the show. On event days you might see food trucks, fan gatherings, and tailgate‑like meetups near the lots before doors open. Be sure to check official parking maps and transit schedules before you go so you know where to park or catch the train.
