Week 2 (OAKLAND @ DENVER) Sept. 16 - ORANGEMANE WEEKEND!!!!

[broncofan2438]

Hey, where is a good hotel to stay at?
Is the Red Lion convenent, is there another hotel you guys recommend?
Where is the hotel that most out of town bronco fans stay at?

[Sassy]

There are two red Lions...and I think everyone is pretty much scattered...
The Red Lion on Bryant is right next to Invesco...(well, across the parking lot)
If you can stand the heat! !

[broncofan2438]

In your opinion sassy, where is the best place

[Sassy]

We've only stayed at the Red Lion and dang...can never remember...The .... Blue, Hogan help me out here? !
Anyway, the Red Lion, Like I said, is great location-wise...but their central air/heating system is screwy...woke us up at 3:30 am game day with it about 100 degrees in the room...we never did get back to sleep.

[Los Broncos]

I'm renting a car, so ill have my own wheels.

When im checked in and settled at the hotel, ill break off a phone call to someone.

[Sassy]

The Warwick! Which, I thought was nice...was within walking distance of the 16th St. Mall but the restaurant was a little more upscale and pricey. We much prefer the "round" bar at the top of the Red Lion...pretty good food, too!

Yep... it was the Warwick...nice enough hotel, but a tad expensive. We had a lot of fun that weekend, though....

We're driving to Denver, so we'll have wheels, too.... but the thing is, none of us really wants to stay sober. We'll probably be calling a taxi a time or two.

We did!
As for the price..well, a lot of them are getting that way...the Red Lion isn't exactly cheap...just cheaper! But it is when you figure in the price of a cab or renting a car...it's all about location!

[BroncoBuff]

OMG! That's the old Holiday Inn Tower behind Mile High ... awesome. Booked and done ...

If you need transportation right before the game (if you happen to miss tailgating), take one of the RTD buses which have 28 locations throughout the city. It is $8.00 per person round trip and the buses park on the South Side of Invesco. They usually depart from each location around 11:45am until 1:15pm.

Just got my tickets for the Rockies game Sat. night. 2 rows behind 3rd base dugout! I'm pretty stoked never been to a MLB game. Plus my buddy in Denver got the tickets for free.

just park in the lot next to meck77 as it is closer and cheaper. Take Colfax
from downtown (you know, where you meet your ladies of the evening) and hit federal and turn right. Parking at the homes on 13th street is around $20 .
Sassy or STG, some of us might need one of those parking passes if avialable.

[crawdad]

I don't have a parking pass. Do I need one??

The Warwick was a semi-posh hotel..really nice and a little on the expensive side. The hotel's bar & restaurant, like Sass said, is a bit too dress casual for my liking and the courtesy car will not take you to Mile High (even though it's within it's 5 mile radius). Duffy's is real close to it though and you can eat on the cheap there everyday and save some serious food money (large portions, good food, cheap prices).

The Red Lion's Skybox bar has a pretty cool view of the city/Stadium and the food is above average for it being Pub fare. They'd better have fixed that thermostat problem though or we'll be staying somewhere else next year.

Just park on the road south of lot P, it's free and just a short walk to Mecks "Lot" (Lot M).
