Ball Arena is one of Denver’s biggest destinations for concerts, professional sports, family shows, and special events. Located in downtown Denver, the arena is home to the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Mammoth, and it also hosts major touring artists and live entertainment throughout the year.
For locals and visitors staying in Summit County or Eagle County, getting to Ball Arena can turn into a bigger planning project than expected. The event itself may be the fun part, but the drive down I-70, Denver traffic, parking, group coordination, and late-night ride back to the mountains all take real planning.

Don’t Let the Drive Take Over the Day
Who is driving? How many vehicles does the group need? Will everyone arrive at the arena at the same time? What happens if traffic builds on I-70 or around downtown Denver? Where will everyone park? Who wants to drive back to Breckenridge, Frisco, Vail, Beaver Creek, Avon, Edwards, or another mountain community after a late concert, playoff game, or family event?
Summit Express helps take the transportation piece off your plate. Whether you’re planning a Nuggets game, Avalanche night, concert trip, family outing, corporate event, or transportation for a larger group, our local team can help you get from Summit County or Eagle County to Ball Arena and back with less stress.

Plan Your Ride Before the Event Gets Close
Ball Arena events can bring heavy traffic, full parking lots, and late-night logistics. Transportation is easier to arrange when you plan ahead, especially for groups coming from the mountains.
Once your group has tickets, start thinking about how everyone will get there and back. Summit Express can help make your Ball Arena night easier from the mountains to Denver and back again.
