Avs and Nuggets fans can watch all the home playoff games thanks to Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. The organization is creating huge FREE Fan Zones and live game broadcast viewing areas outside Ball Arena by closing Chopper Circle between 9th Street and 11th Street during all Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche home playoff games. Passes are required for entry to either Fan Zone.
The shared areas will be known as Base Camp 5280 Fan Zone for Nuggets games and Avs Alley for Avalanche games, with live game broadcasts on a 20-foot video board.
Plus DJs, food trucks, beer and hard seltzer carts, giveaways, mascot and dance team appearances, partner activations, and the chance to cheer on your favorite teams in the company of Nuggets Nation and Avs Faithful.
Base Camp 5280 and Avs Alley will open two hours prior to the announced start time of each home playoff game.
For Game 1 of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series Saturday, April 18, 2026, Base Camp 5280 will open at 11:30 a.m. with tip set for 1:30 p.m. You will find passes for Base Camp 5280 here. Note: That passes are while supplies last and may be gone. If so, you can join a Waitlist.
Passes for Avs Alley rounds 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup playoff games will be found here. If passes are gone, you can join the Waitlist.
General Admission access is FREE for Round 1 and Round 2, while space allows, but does require a digital pass for entry.
Guests with game tickets will need separate passes for Base Camp 5280 or Avs Alley. Game tickets are not required to get a pass, as Base Camp 5280 and Avs Alley are open to all for the entirety of the game.
The Base Camp 5280 and Avs Alley location is easily accessible via the RTD Light Rail and Commuter Rail system, using the Ball Arena-Elitch Gardens stop on the E or W lines. Standard event parking prices will be in place for games at Ball Arena.
Should the Nuggets or Avs advance to their respective conference finals, or the NBA Finals or Stanley Cup Finals, a Base Camp 5280 and/or Avs Alley admission fee will be instituted, with all proceeds benefiting Kroenke Sports Charities (KSC).
The nonprofit serves the community through education, health and fitness initiatives, athletic programs, and direct aid, with the particular purpose of helping families, children, veterans, and the disabled.
More than $1.1 million was raised by KSC during championship runs from the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs and 2023 NBA Playoffs, primarily from similar fan viewing experiences.
