Oh good, others going to Denver!
The stadium does look pretty close to downtown. One hotel website (don't remember which one) claimed the stadium was walking distance, but I called to ask about that and they said it is about 2 miles which technically is considered walking distance but you have to get across a highway so it doesn't sound like a good walk.
Maybe we could plan a group trip to Red Rocks some other time that weekend?
Yes , Lauren, good points. Many hotels and attractions say things like walking distance from...etc. but in reality, they are so far from the truth. You have to do some digging or ask people as we do here to get the real story. Don't ever go by what they say on their websites and in brochures.
