Empower Field at Mile High is a completely cashless facility: no cash at the parking toll booths, the concessions or the pro shop. Pre-purchased permits for the stadium lots are sold out for 2026, so parking on the day means Lot C at $55 a space, credit card only, which opens six hours before kickoff and is expected to sell out within the hour, or the Lot A carpool section at $45 for a vehicle carrying four or more people. The other lots open 4.5 hours before kickoff. RTD's C and E light rail lines to Decatur-Federal station are the alternative, a ten-minute walk from the stadium.

Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Mile High Station is great for parking. Get there before early kickoff, $30-40 to park, watch the morning games at the bar. Domestic pitchers are $15 and food is solid.
Accessible parking is sold on the day, first come, first served: $35 in Lot L and $40 in Lots D and G, with a valid state-issued placard or registration. Violators are ticketed and fined.
Federal Boulevard gets very congested pre-game; approach from Colfax Avenue or 17th Avenue for less traffic.
Pre-purchased permits are sold out for 2026. On game day the only general lot is Lot C, $55 by credit card, opening six hours before kickoff; expect it to sell out 30 minutes to an hour after opening.
Ball Arena lots offer a smart alternative when the stadium lots are sold out.
Four or more in the car? The Lot A carpool section is $45, opens 4.5 hours before kickoff, and allows no tailgating.
If staying in LoDo or downtown, skip parking entirely and walk 20-30 minutes or take the train.
The RTD light rail is the best value: C and E lines to Decatur-Federal station for a $2.75 fare, then a ten-minute walk.
