If there's a shoulder there, I would expect security on the shoulder to make sure cars don't stop in the area, but the highway probably will stay open.<BR/><BR/>Do me a favor - check with the college.

It closes for the season in late October. <BR/><BR/>What I'm really concerned with will be the traffic. The Pepsi Center really is in the heart of Denver. It is located within a few hundred feet of the city's most important highway, I-25, and within a mile of the second major highway, I-70. It runs along Speer Blvd, a MAJOR street that runs right through the Downtown area and into the Cherry Creek shopping district, and is also alongside Auraria Pkwy, which provides access to parking for the 20,000+ students that attend classes on the Auraria Campus. There's no doubt in my mind that they are going to have to shut these streets down. They are just too close to the stadium. <BR/><BR/>Speaking from experience (I attend classes there), that whole area is going to be a MESS. Classes will just be starting for the fall, and the beginning of classes alone ALWAYS creates a parking nightmare anywhere close to this area. If they close I-25, Speer Blvd AND Auraria Pkwy, traffic is going to be a disaster. <BR/><BR/>Denver is notorious for having some of the worst traffic in the nation. I wonder what's going to happen when they shut down the main highway out of the city, the street that funnels most of the traffic onto the highway and out of downtown, and the street that provides the only parking for 20,000 students....<BR/><BR/>I think this sounds like a REALLY good reason to extend my summer vacation another week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1155008104657200092006-08-07T23:35:00.000-04:002006-08-07T23:35:00.000-04:00Why would the amusement park be closed for the sea...Why would the amusement park be closed for the season in late August?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126730290750804530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1155007755577494542006-08-07T23:29:00.000-04:002006-08-07T23:29:00.000-04:00well i live in Ft.

Collins witch is about 45 min. north of Denver and I would figure that the Amusment park would be closed for the season so they probably will use the parking lot. Although right across the street is Invesco Field at Mile High , our Football stadium "go broncos" and that has almost 30,000 parking spaces so they probably would use that cause those would be avalable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1154041736886320902006-07-27T19:08:00.000-04:002006-07-27T19:08:00.000-04:00The lightrail tracks run right by the pepsi center...The lightrail tracks run right by the pepsi center, high chainlink fences are on both sides and you must use a bridge which you can see as a white strip to cross the tracks from the amusement park to the pepsi center. I'm not sure the amusement park would pose any sort of security risk because of the fences. There is also a lot of parking at the university campus across the street (auraria parkway) from the pepsi center as well as numbers of buildings that could serve media purposes. In the satelite picture there are a number of tennis courts but i think there have been replaced with a huge parking garage. I wonder how much media space is needed?<BR/><BR/> A cool thing about the lightrail is they have extra tracks built in that could serve to make a temporary line going from the existing downtown line (and the convention center hotel/other hotels) straight to the pepsi center station, if they choose to keep it open. Right now both lines just run north-south, with no direct rail connection between them (imagine a tuning fork, one arm going up to the pepsi center the other going up to downtown.) Currently, you have to transfer a bit farther south where the lines meet. But the extra tracks could solve that nicely, allowing a special convention trainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1153962546477555452006-07-26T21:09:00.000-04:002006-07-26T21:09:00.000-04:00Go DENVER!!!Go DENVER!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
