The Savannah Bananas will soon be performing at Coors Field in Denver, drawing a large crowd with thousands of attendees expected this weekend. Due to this event, downtown Denver will experience significant foot and vehicle traffic, particularly on Saturday and Sunday. As a result, certain streets including Market and Blake between 20th and 22nd Streets will be closed to accommodate the event.
For those planning to attend, utilizing public transit is highly recommended to avoid the hassle of parking. Union Station, which is conveniently located just a block from Coors Field, is the ideal drop-off point, with nearly all RTD trains, including lines A, B, E, G, N, and W, servicing this stop. This accessibility is advantageous for fans coming from various locations such as Westminster, RidgeGate Parkway, Wheat Ridge, Eastlake, and Jefferson County.
To assist with trip planning, the RTD Next App is available, making it simple to navigate transit options to Coors Field or Union Station. This event serves as a reminder of the transport network’s efficiency, as noted by Pauline Haberman from RTD, highlighting the multiple transit options available to the public.
