Denver’s beloved Colorado Rockies<\/strong><\/a> play home games in the heart of downtown Denver at Coors Field<\/strong><\/a>, which offers the nostalgic feel of a classic ballpark mixed with state of the art technology. The Major League Baseball season runs from April to September. See the team’s schedule<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The enormous Empower Field at Mile High<\/a><\/strong> is where the NFL’s Denver Broncos<\/strong><\/a> call home. Here in Denver, being a Broncos fan isn’t just a hobby \u2014 it’s a way of life. On game days, you’ll see the city awash in the team’s trademark orange, blue and white colors. The team is still best known for its league-dominating heyday with Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway (who now owns four acclaimed Mile High City restaurants), but its current roster is packed with talent. The season runs from September to January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ball Arena<\/strong><\/a> is also the home of Denver’s beloved hockey team, the Colorado Avalanche<\/strong><\/a> (the “Avs” to fans). With a powerhouse starting lineup leading the way and the team’s solid presence in the NHL standings, their home games are always packed with fans \u2014 some of the most devoted (and vocal!) hockey aficionados in the U.S. The season runs from September to April. See the team’s schedule<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids<\/strong><\/a> have a new home: the sprawling, high-tech Dick’s Sporting Goods Park<\/strong><\/a>, which opened its doors in 2007. The Rapids are a force to be reckoned, with an international roster featuring players from Jamaica, England, Africa, Japan and Argentina, not to mention plenty of homegrown talent. The season runs from March to October. See the team’s schedule<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lacrosse may not be as popular a professional sport as those mentioned above \u2014 not yet at least. Thanks to the Colorado Mammoth<\/strong><\/a>, lacrosse is gaining a fervent following in The Mile High City. The team is part of the growing National Lacrosse League and plays home games at Ball Arena<\/strong><\/a>,<\/a> where they often attract crowds rivaling those of the Nuggets and Avalanche. The Mammoth took home the league championship in 2006. The season runs from December to April. See the team’s schedule<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even more Major League Lacrosse thrills can be found at Empower Field at Mile High<\/a><\/strong>, where the Denver Outlaws<\/strong><\/a> take on all comers May through August. The team is young, hungry and provides a great introduction to this exciting sport. See the team’s schedule<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The NBA’s Denver Nuggets<\/a> <\/strong>rule the court at Ball Arena<\/a> <\/strong>in downtown Denver. With a roster that includes big-name veterans and exciting up-and-comers, the Nuggets are truly one of The Mile High City’s most exciting teams, year after year. The season runs from October to June. See the Nuggets’ schedule<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rugby is a sport more often identified with the United Kingdom, but Denver has had a pro (“super league”) rugby club for more than 40 years. The Denver Barbarians (known as the Barbos) competes against 15 other club teams from all over the United States, the highest level of competitive rugby play in the country. Head to the new Dick’s Sporting Goods Park to catch the club in all their rough-and-tumble glory. The season runs from February to May.
