DENVER, CO — August 19, 2010 – Denver Public Works and Denver Community Planning and Development are asking drivers to pay special attention when parking around INVESCO Field for Denver Bronco home games and special events at INVESCO Field.
On Street Parking
While specific residential parking restrictions on the streets surrounding INVESCO Field are ongoing, Denver Public Works Right-of-Way Enforcement will begin enforcing the seasonal posted parking restrictions that coincide with the Bronco’s home game schedule on Saturday, August 21 (the date of the first pre-season home game), through the end of the football season.
The seasonal parking restrictions around INVESCO Field extend from 9th Avenue north to 29th Avenue and from I-25 west to Sloan’s Lake . Restricted areas are marked with “No Parking Except A Permits” signs. If you are eligible for a Residential Parking Permit (RPP), now is a great time to make sure your permits are current. You are likely eligible for RPP if you have a sign with posted restrictions on your street. To find out more, call 3-1-1.
Off-Street Parking (parking lots)
Bronco fans and other INVESCO Field special event attendees who choose to drive should also exercise caution when utilizing a parking lot in the area.
If you are not parking in one of the parking lots on INVESCO Field property, choose only those locations that 1) display an orange special events parking sign issued by the City & County of Denver, or 2) are existing approved parking lots clearly managed by reputable companies.
The 22” x 34” orange signs display the seal of the City & County of Denver and include the address of the parking location. These signs were issued because of the proliferation of illegal parking lots taking driver's money, only to have the driver return to their vehicle to find it ticketed and/or towed.
When parking in a lot with the orange City & County of Denver sign posted, drivers can be assured that they will be parked legally and are not in danger of tickets, tows or being "parked in" (blocked or trapped in a space by other vehicles).
Alternate modes of transportation to INVESCO Field are always encouraged - check out the easy to use RTD Trip Planner at www.rtd-denver.com to find your route.
