Denver Broncos Tailgating

The Stadium at Mile High is located within the heart of the City of Denver. If you bring your RV to the stadium for tailgating, you will need to move your RV at the end of the game, and return to your campground for the night. If you prefer to leave your RV at the campsite and bring your towed or rented vehicle with you to the game, you can still buy a parking permit before the game to ensure you have a place to tailgate on game day.

The City of Denver has a few RV park camping options within a 20-mile radius of the Stadium at Mile High, but the majority of camping locations in Denver are nestled throughout the suburbs. The Colorado State Park system has numerous parks located within 15 to 30 miles of the stadium, and many of these parks have both full hookup camping as well as dry camping options. If you want to experience camping in the city without the feel of the big city, reserve your space at one of the clean and scenic Colorado State Parks, including Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

Once you get to the Stadium at Mile High, it's not a long walk from one tailgating area of the parking lot to another. All of the parking lots are within walking distance to the entrance of the stadium. People riding their bikes to the stadium can park their bikes in the bike valet parking area. Pick up your bike within one hour after the end of the game. 

The parking lot at Mile High does not permit any bikes, scooters, or other people movers, so please only bring your bike if you plan on riding outside of the stadium area. 

ADA parking is sold on a first-come, first-serve basis in the cash-only lots. Arrive early, because these spots fill quickly.

The Denver Broncos football season passes through three distinct Colorado weather patterns: summer, fall, and winter. Summer games may start hot and cool down once the sun sets. Pack short sleeve shirts, shorts, and a lightweight coat in case it cools below your liking. During the fall, many of the games have the perfect chill in the air, so a light jacket or coat may be needed. If you choose to attend a game during the winter, Colorado has many bluebird sky days, so snow isn't inevitable, but the cold is almost guaranteed. For games during the winter, pack your heavy coat, hat, gloves, and warm socks.

Football games and tailgating require a lot of gear. Pack your best Bronco jerseys, hats, and maybe even your blue and orange face paint. Denver is proud of its Broncos, and team spirit is massive in the Mile-High City. Don't forget to pack your stadium approved clear bags if you want to take items with you into the game. If you pack pop-up tents, folding chairs, or coolers, remember that all of your tailgating gear must fit within your paid parking space, so only pack what will fit.

Denver, the Mile-High City, is a high altitude location. Visitors from cities with lower elevations may feel the effects of the thinner air and feel dizzy, and experience headaches or nausea. If you want to prevent altitude sickness or help to combat feeling poorly, the best remedy is to drink water with plenty of electrolytes. Bring electrolyte tablets with you as well as pain relievers, and something to soothe your stomach if you think you might need it. It's always a good idea to travel with a first aid kit, so don't leave yours at home.

Part of a tailgating or camping experience is grilling hotdogs, hamburgers, and veggies for you and your friends. Bring your propane or charcoal grills with you to the stadium as long as they will fit within your parking space. Once you've finished cooking, extinguish your flames and dispose of your cooking materials. If you need to dispose of hot coal, locate one of the hot coal containers in the Broncos Stadium parking lot.

The Denver food and drink scene is one of the things that attract people to the city. Craft beer and food trucks are a big part of the Denver food and drink experience. Most local breweries have food trucks parked onsite, so beer-lovers have delicious multi-cultural food choices located seconds away from most breweries. If you prefer vegan cuisine, the city has many highly-acclaimed alternative food restaurants minutes from light rail and public transportation depots. If you are visiting a restaurant inside city limits, it's best to leave your RV at your campsite and take public transportation or a rideshare into the city. Parking RVs along city streets is challenging if not impossible.

Bring your cash or credit card with you when you visit Broncos Stadium at Mile High because the food and beverage selection is worth more than one stop to the food concourse. Also, if you are a football fan, the Broncos Team Store has orange and blue gear, galore. Don't worry if you are cheering for the opposing team. There are usually vendors present selling team gear for the Broncos opponents.
