Travel
Overview
Empower Field at Mile High sits just west of downtown Denver, easily accessible from the LoDo district, Interstate 25, and the RTD light rail system. Denver International Airport (DEN) is 25 miles east but connected by the A Line commuter rail to Union Station, from which you can transfer to the stadium area. The stadium's proximity to downtown means walking from LoDo hotels is realistic, and the free Broncos Ride shuttle makes transit even easier on game days.
