We had Suite 18 at the Ball Arena and about 20 people and kids with food and drinks and a KILLER view!! I love how respectful the people are at these games!! The young woman sang the National Anthem quite beautifully and I enjoyed the very competitive atmosphere and excitement. We had valet parking included with our tickets and that was incredible to experience. I enjoyed myself very much. read more

Colorado Avalanche - WOOHOOO! Suite life!! - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Colorado Avalanche swept my Florida Panthers in 1996 so I'm not partial to them. I must say I have mixed feelings about them winning this year's Stanley Cup. I would have loved to seen Game 7 Tuesday night. I hate when the season ends. This was definitely one of the most intense Stanley Cup Finals I've watched. Both teams put on a great show and I could watch the games on ABC. It's definitely nice to share the Stanley Cup with Colorado. This review is to congratulate them for their win. Win or lose its all good!! read more

I had the best customer experience when calling in to inquire about tickets I had purchased and which seats included heritage night benefits. I spoke with Aron in the season tickets office. He was helpful and so kind! Thanks for excellent customer service!!!! read more

In terms of wins and losses (points percentage) all-time, the Colorado Avalanche fall somewhere in the middle among all NHL teams. That said, the team's playoff win percentage is good (top 10 in the league) and the Avs have won two Stanley Cups (1996, 2001). Over two-thirds (22) of the teams in the NHL (31) have won more than won Cup, though. In 1996, the Avs swept the Florida Panthers, 4-0, in the Stanley Cup Finals. It was the Avs' first season in Colorado and they immediately brought Denver and the state a major professional sports championship. From 1979 to 1995, the Colorado Avalanche were the Quebec Nordiques. Center Joe Sakic, who started his career in Quebec (the Nordiques drafted him 15th overall in 1987) won the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoffs MVP) that year. Sakic spent his entire 20-year NHL career with the franchise, through the ownership change and move to Denver in 1995, and retired after the 2008-09 season. The team retired his No. 19 jersey that same year. Needless to say, Sakic holds many team records. He also won a gold medal as a member of Team Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics. The 2001 championship didn't come so easy. It took the Avs seven games to beat the New Jersey Devils. The Avs were down 3-2 in the series heading into Game 6 and the Devils had two chances to close the Avs out. Sakic was on that 2001 team too, but it was goalie Patrick Roy who came up big. He had a shutout in Game 6, stopping 24 shots. In Game 7, the Devils scored only once, a consolation goal. "Saint Patrick," who ended up winning that year's Conn Smythe Trophy, proved to be clutch, helping to seal Colorado's second Stanley Cup victory. Roy spent the last eight seasons of his playing career with the Avs. Both Roy (2006) and Sakic (2012) were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Like Sakic, Roy had his number retired along with championship teammates Peter Forsberg (fellow hall-of-famer), "The Duke" Milan Hejduk, Adam Foote, and Ray Bourque (another hall-of-famer). These Avs teams were stacked. The Avs haven't returned to the Stanley Cup Finals since 2001, but they have made the playoffs more times than not over the last two decades. 2010 through 2017 was a rough stretch. Over those seven seasons, Colorado qualified for the playoffs only once (2014). Fortunately, things are trending up again. Jared Bednar, who was hired as head coach in 2016 (his first NHL head coaching job), has done well with the team. Bednar has led the Avs to four straight playoff appearances now and they just won the West Division (2021). He signed a two-year contract extension in 2019 that will see him in Colorado through the 2021-22 season. read more

I have gone to many avalanche games. To start, I would recommend finding parking east of Spear, in downtown is much, cheap, cheaper, and easier to leave. Tickets are somewhat expensive, and unfortunately only sold online. There is no box office at the arena. They can help you with ticket problems on your phone, though. I would recommend showing up early and watching pregame warm-ups. This is a great way for a young kid to get a puck thrown up from one of their heroes! You can't bring any drinks past the seventh row in pregame so plan accordingly. The most important thing is to look out for hockey pucks. We had one come flying right at us, luckily, no one got hurt. It is also a little loud in the arena, and the music is noticeably louder in the upper level. Intermission entertainment is very good. The start to the third period has a great music intro. There's plenty of time in between periods to go to the bathroom, so I would go in the later part of the break. The funnest part of going to the avalanche games, is the crowd energy. We were rocking and having a good time all night! read more

I truly love this hockey team, staff, hockey arena, fans, and all they stand for. They do a good job representing the right things in my book. They've bent over backwards to ensure our needs were met for every game we've attended! read more

Wish I was wealthy enough to get to watch. Guess they don't want the poor people to support them. Hockey fan my whole life but I don't make enough to watch my team. Have to watch football. read more

I moved to Denver in January 2001 from the only city to ever lose 2 NHL franchise teams (Ever heard of the Atlanta Thrashers? What about the Atlanta Flames?). Needless to say, in the heart of SEC football country, hockey is not in the daily lexicon. I grew up thinking that the catchphrase "he shoots, he scores" came from basketball. Then one day in late April 2001, after settling in and learning a few things about my new hometown, I stumbled upon a playoff game between the Avalanche and the LA Kings. I sat in awe of the fast pace, hard hits, and pretty goals. I was officially hooked! I became an Avalanche fan that day and have rarely missed tuning into an Avs game since. Of course you will remember that the Avalanche went on to win the Stanley Cup in 2001 (their second Cup in five years). Since then no Avalanche roster has achieved such greatness but every year I still watch and hope. It is a testament to the Avalanche organization that some of the greatest players ever to play the game - Ray Bourque, Patrick Roy, Joe Sakic, and Peter Forsberg - have retired jerseys hanging from the rafters of the Pepsi Center. It is also quite telling that several former players have been or are now coaches or executives of the organization. And I bet a lot of people would admit that the estimable Pierre Lecroix, former General Manger and current President of the Colorado Avalanche, is the glue that binds it all together. Even though we haven't had a championship team in over a decade, the Avs games are still exciting to watch, especially in person. The action is must faster than it seems on TV. It's an absolute blast to cheer the team on at the rink. Fans at the game have the chance to win all kinds of prizes from the Avalanche sponsors and the organization goes all out for special occasions, such as retirement ceremonies and celebrations of player milestones. For the 2011-2012 season our new captain, Milan Hejduk, and a talented group of young players are expected to form the core of the team for years to come. As of this writing, wins aren't coming very easily to the team but that just means that there are plenty of tickets to go around. So get on down to the Pepsi Center and support our Avalanche. LET'S GO AVS! read more

I'm not a hockey person or really a fan, but I was able to score $22 nose bleeder seats to yesterday's game. After the first 20 minutes we moved down to the empty 1st floor. We won if that counts for anything... read more

Colorado Avalanche - My friend Pam and myself at the game. - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love going to an Avs game. And lately it is easy as pie to get any sort of tickets you want (attendance isn't what it used to be)! None stop action, a few checks, a few fights and all housed in the nice venue that is the Pepsi Center. I think they need new music selections to pump up the crowd. I know that is nit picky, but seriously do they only have music from 10 years ago? Oh and their mascot (Bernie the St. Bernard) should take lessons from Rocky (Nuggets) and Miles (Broncos) because he seems MIA for most of the game. Still for any hockey fan the Avs don't disappoint! Great family night out, too! read more

Avs vs Bruins (1/22/2011) This was the same ol amazing experience that I've repeatedly had before. This time I brought along some more friends that had never been. She said, "The Avs are my new favorite sporting event in Denver." The Avs even lost on Saturday, and it was still that fun. If she's that sold, then it should definitely be done again! read more

My Favorite team just got a lot cooler this year! Much thanks again go out to the players and staff of our Colorado Avalanche as they participated in Movember- the month long effort to raise funds and awareness for Men's Cancers. The fun started with Hockey fights Cancer Night back in October and continued all last month as the players and staff (including Bernie the Mascot )grew some great Moustaches and hosted #DNVRMO (Denver Movember) Night and beat the crap out of the NJ Devils winning 6-1 !!

I love hockey. I love that I live in Colorado and we have a great team. The Avs rock!! I would love to get season tickets and go to a bunch of games. I have only been once. But it was fantastic. They have a little half time show where a lot of little kids come out and try to make goals and it's really cute. Then at the end of the game they also did this thing called the "hat trick" where everyone in the crowd took off their baseball caps and threw them onto the ice. It was super cool. I had fabulous seats right against the glass and it was all so exciting! I love watching hockey! It is a turn on. The guys are in shape and hot and there is always some heated testosterone flying around with altercations. I know it is barbaric and animal of me, but I love when the guys get into fights! Definitely go check out the Avs. Get to a game, it is fun. Bring your girlfriend. Have a beer. Hoot and Holler. Get a little rowdy. You won't be disappointed. We are so lucky to live somewhere with a great team! Take this opportunity by the horns and go watch the Avs live. read more

Thank G-d for the Colorado Avalanche. But for the Avalanche, I would be completely embarrassed at the sad, sad, sad state of professional sports in the Mile High City - hey Denver Broncos, I'm talkin to you! (Not you Eric Decker, I love you. You are wonderful and perfect. Don't change.) When I write this review the awesome Avs have won 5 of their 6 last games and are on track to win the 2010 NHL Northwest Division. This is a team and a sport that I can get excited about. The fights, the booze, the crowd. i actually look forward to going to Avs games at the Pepsi Center. Additionally, I am not embarrassed to be seen rockin the Avs gear in public. And lets not forget the players either - I am going to marry Matt Duchene and/or Daniel Winnick. read more

It's not every day a place helps parents give their kids the best time possible... thus a shout out is warranted! When my husband proposed a midday outing with our two children (ages 5 and 3) to an Avalanche game, my psyche immediately geared up for the inevitable necessity of alcohol or kiddie-valium at some point in the day. However, I began to peruse the Avalanche website and Tickethorse.com to purchase a Family 4 Fun pack. I had some initial issues with the Tickethorse website, which wouldn't allow me to make a purchase without upgrading to a closer level. (Something I wasn't willing to do, as I imagined two noisy and possibly squirmy kids would inspire dirty looks from nearby fans.) Finally in frustration, I opted to chat online with a representative. To my delight, the representative asked for my number and called me on the spot, and proceeded to work with me for ten minutes to get me the best four seats at the price I wanted that any parents could have wished for. The tickets were placed at Will Call for us, and he even emailed me the confirmation and receipt before we hung up. And it didn't end there! Our tickets were waiting for us as promised, and upon finding our seats we discovered we were in the first row of our level, right off the aisle and by the stairs leading down to the all-important restroom facilities, and our kids had unobstructed views and could lean against the railing as they wished. The meal vouchers were good as advertised, and we also sprung for Doc Popcorn as dessert. One last note to parents with younger kids: a hockey game is THE sporting event for you all! The intermissions between periods provided a perfect break in the seating time, and we took the kids on strolls through the concourse to sight-see and stretch their legs. And they got major kicks out of the songs, Mr. Dancing T-Shirt Man, the huge balloons dropping goodies on the crowd, and they even joined in cheering. A GREAT time was had by our family, and I thus give major props to the Colorado Avalanche for providing us with an excellent family afternoon! read more

A fun time had by all! We came here for a game on a whim since the hubs had never been to a professional hockey game, and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had aisle seats up in the third deck, and I must confess it was a little annoying to have to get up and down all the time to let people out for beer, food, bathroom breaks, etc., but that's really a minor annoyance and there's nothing you can do about that anyway. Supposedly the Avs aren't as good as they've been in previous years, but we still got to see them win and enjoyed a handful of inevitable fights on the ice. All in all, fans were nice - game was fun. Looking forward to coming back for more! read more

Of course, my 5-star rating of the Avs isn't based on their performance this season. For that, they get 3 stars. An awesome, thrilling late-season rush toward the playoffs that ultimately fell short. Too little, too late, but thanks for the thrills, guys. The salary cap may have fractured one of the NHL's elite clubs, but nothing can erase the memory of that thrilling 2001 season when Ray Bourque finally raised the cup in a postseason for the ages. I still have my VHS tape of that season that I break out every now and then. As for going to the games, it's still one of the best tickets in town. You can get affordable seats that offer a great, if distant, view of the action. You've got cool bars like Brooklyn's at which you can tailgate, and hey, we may have lost Forsberg, Drury and Patrick Roy, but we've still got Super Joe. Here's to better fortunes in 2008. read more

You can review sports teams on Yelp?? Had I known this previously, the Avs would have popped my yelp cherry. I've been watching the Avs since the sixth grade when I saw my very first game which happened to be the infamous "Bloody Wednesday" against the Wings and I was hooked. Sure we've had some bad seasons but I am no fair weather fan and they will always be #1 for me. P.S. All you Red wings fans need to go back where you belong! read more

It's hockey! And lots of fights! 4 stars just for that! If you get on the right email list you can get some amazing deals on ticket prices and avoid the ticketmonster fees. I love going to watch the Avs, it's such good energy and a great time, no matter what. read more

As a Canadian, I'm obviously a huge hockey fan.. I love going to games, as a Toronto transplant I'm super psyched that it doesn't cost $1000 bucks for tickets to an AVS game. I got a 10 pack for my birthday this year.... How lucky am I? Love the crowd (except for at the Red Wings games) the club level is the best level in my opinion, you get served at your seat and the seats are super comfy, plus theres a Gigi's cupcake stand on the club level. There really isn't a bad seat in the house, you could be sitting at the 300 level (nosebleed level) and you still have a really great view of the game. The 300 level gets super busy during the games though, so the bonus of sitting on the club level is definitely the seat service you get.. Love that you don't need to wait in line and the upside is that you don't miss any of the game. It's worth the splurge- so do it! read more

Colorado Avalanche - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The Avs have been a bit of a love/hate thing in colorado these past few years. After a terrible season last year, they are off to an extremely hot start. The game experience itself is a lot of fun, when the team is playing well. The new scoreboard/screens are extremely impressive. Roy as coach has been a really excellent choice, and it's great to see fans having fun cheering on their team to victory. -1 star for Bernie. I am pretty sure he's the worst mascot in Denver. read more

After 25 years of owning season tickets the team has now screwed me out of my seat location. They have raised prices on just my row to include Club Lexus dining. "Pay it or move along, we want your seats." Somebody will pay an extra $85 per seat for your seats, "we are running a business here and we can raise prices if we want to." Lovely attitude from someone you have paid money to for a quarter century and were told you had priority rights to your seats. Dear billionaire Stan Kroenke, how about we meet at center ice and settle this like hockey players? read more

What's new with the Av's this year? Those giant scoreboard screens. Wow, bigger than drive though movie screens...bigger than Alex Rodriguez's ego...bigger than airline baggage fees... So now you can really see all the deformities on those gargoyles they choose to put up on the kiss cam! Get a nose trimmer and get one for your boyfriend too! read more

Love them to death. Have been an Avs fan for 20 years, and will be for life. Nice arena, great new scoreboard. Finally connected with season tickets, and love it. Discounts, guaranteed playoff tickets, autograph events, and much more. Came to 37 games last year, will continue to support them. read more

Almost a 4 stars, simply for hiring Patrick Roy a few years back to lead the way, and coaching this team hasn't been easy ever since him and Sakic retired. Actually went to a game years back, at the end of that era when the Avalance held the record for most consecutive sellouts; no wonder I was able to buy tickets online. Have to say, the ambience was a bit quiet, but as with most new arenas back then, they're big and all, with way back concession food haha. Too bad about the Statsny departure, he was asking too much, too soon. who needs $7 million per year at the age of 27 or so lol. But with McKinnon, Landeskog, McGuinn, these young supestars will get you guys back in top. The defense is also pretty solid, and hope Iggy can play another few more years. It's amazing that similar to Seattle, to have two different sport team areans next to each other. read more

1996 + 2001 = Sweet! This year's team has been a nice surprise, been able to get down to a dozen games this season, and things run smoothly at the Avs home. read more

I have been an avalanche fan ever sense i exited the womb. i am waiting for us to get another cup, because we definitely deserve it. the fans love the players and are always a treat to sit with at the games. i mean, the best team should get the best fans. i have also met a lot of the players on the team and they are just about the nicest people you will ever meet, because the avalanche wouldn't be the team they are are without the pride of the fans, and the players know it. And the pepsi center is also a great place to watch hockey. you can watch the games well from any seat in there and the workers there are also very nice. I would like to put down in this text how much I love this club, but I have no words to describe it. once all of this virus stuff is over I am looking forward to watching the avs in the playoffs, with hopefully a shot at the cup this season. read more

We purchased tickets through ticketmaster for a hockey game on December 29, 2021. The NHL cancelled the game because of Covid. We had purchased 3 tickets for that game, purchased insurance because our son that is the US Navy was going to be home for the game and that game featured his favorite team, the Dallas Stars. The insurance company that we paid extra for the insurance is Allianz. They are refusing to uphold the insurance on the 3 tickets because they want a letter from the US Navy stating our son cannot attend the game. We only purchased the insurance because he is in the Navy and his leave could've been revoked for the game. You would think that the insurance for Ticketmaster would refund automatically since the NHL cancelled the game due to Covid, but no, they want a letter for a General saying our son cannot attend. They also lost our proof of payment for the event with the Colorado Avalanche. Ticketmaster and the company they use for ticket insurance are only out for money. Complete rip-off. read more

The Avs are off to another great season. This time we tried some seats up in the "nose-bleed" section. I had heard there is not a bad seat in Pepsi center and I will agree. The game was really easy to follow from Section 380. In some ways I like it better up there because the view is better than being behind the glass. The drink and food prices are standard for a sports event but you will really have to search for a decent beer. read more

1 star for the facility. No stars for the team, fans and especially the announcers! We were there for the Blackhawk/Avalanche game in October. More Hawk fans than Colorado fans, who's fault is that? It seems these fans are mean and bitter from it. One older man who I can say was at least 75 years old, shouted out to fans who stood up and clapped when the Hawks scored. The man was mean and hateful and told the men to sit down and shut up, but used profanity in doing so. Hello, there are children in the same row and all around. I gave the man an unfavorable look who was seated 2 from me. Apparently he was with his grandson, at least 20 years old. He was decent and I think embarressed to say the least. I gave this old buzzard a look and he seen I was a Hawks fan and finally shut up. I don't tolerate disrespect at a game. I couldn't believe the announcers making fun of OUR team over the big screen. Really juvenile and a sign of a loser. Believe me Chicago does not act that way. We went to the Penguin Hawk opener as the Hawks won 10-1. There were some Penguin fans in the crowd by us. NONE WHATSOEVER COMMENTS OR ANY ANNOUNCERS SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT THE TEAM. Also when Towes was in the penalty box, they had the cameras on him and playing an ignorant song, so the fans were jeering and yelling bad things. Really! Lost respect for this organization & there so called fans. We have been to several stadiums and never encountered such poor taste & hate! Don't believe all losing teams fans/media act like that. We will see what happens in the standings by the end of the season. Hope the fans and media enjoy their little winning streak! read more

I really enjoy going to watch the Avs play. Its always exciting to be at the Arena.

Great place to take a family to watch a game! The Avalanche do a tremendous job of making the fan feel wanted to every game. Constant promotions and lots of merchandise for people to take home with makes this place one of the best in the NHL. read more

The Pepsi Center is pretty cool, albeit, our team...well you know the deal! The parking is kinda bogus and way expensive (be prepared to pay upward of $15 for parking), but once inside the arena, it is very cool. If the game isn't going in our favor, no worries, there is so much happening between plays (i.e., free t-shirts being thrown into the crowd, little parachutes dropping from the sky, rockin good music, the kiss cam, etc.) and I think around the entire circumference of the arena is junk food and beer galore. Great fun for all ages! read more
