Parking Instructions For This Week’s Garth Brooks Concerts at the Pepsi Center in Denver

Garth Brooks tickets: check! Beer money: check! How and when to park at the Pepsi Center for the show: STOP! Parking for the Garth Brooks concert is going to be a finely tuned, precision piece of work. Keep in mind, most days, they are doing two shows, one right after the other. Before you head to the concert, take a moment to review these details regarding parking.

The real trick will be the March 20 and 21 shows. These are the nights where there will be back to back concerts. The Pepsi Center released the following information regarding access to parking:

For the dates with back to back shows, the following schedule applies:

• Friday, March 20: Doors open at 5:30 for the 7:00 show. Doors open at 10:00 for the 10:30 show.
• Saturday, March 21:Doors open at 5:30 for the 7:00 show. Doors open at 10:00 for the 10:30 show.
• Sunday, March 22: Doors open at 1:30 for the 3:00 show. Doors open at 6:30 for the 7:00 show.

The Pepsi Center states the unique nature of scheduling back to back shows will result in some delay in opening doors for the second performance.

If you would like to avoid the mess, you might consider using the Denver Light Rail. The Denver Light Rail does make a stop at the Pepsi Center. Prices to ride range from $2.25 to $5.00.  Typically, the DLR runs until 2:00 am. For the Garth Brooks shows on March 20 and 21, hours will be extended, and the DLR will run until 3:00 am with additional trains.

Keep in mind, there are parking charges, and the Pepsi Center and Elitch Garden lots will not accept bills larger than a $50.

Have a great time at the show, and plan a little extra travel time. Have fun!
