Broncos Preseason Gameday: Parking, Transit, Schedule

DENVER, CO — Fans clad in orange will flock to the Broncos Stadium at Mile High Monday evening to watch their favorite team take on the San Francisco 49ers. It's been a tough year for the team — they lost their longtime owner Pat Bowlen, and their head coach Vic Fangio has been battling kidney stones — however they plan to hit the field in full force Monday to honor Bowlen's legacy.

If you can't make it to the game in person, you can check it out on ESPN, KOA 850 AM and 94.1 FM.

Here's everything you need to know if you're heading to the game:

Parking

All parking lots open at 1:30 p.m. Print-at-home PDF parking passes will no longer be accepted for home games, the team announced earlier this month. Broncos parking passes will only be accessible through smartphones.

Transit

• If you don't mind an eight minute walk to the stadium, the C, E or W light rail lines stop at the Broncos Stadium at Mile High Station. The Decatur-Federal Station, which offers service from the West Corridor Line, is also an eight minute walk to the stadium.
• You can also hop on a BroncosRide shuttle from park and ride lots throughout the metro area. Round trip fares are $4.50 to $10, depending on your departure point. Busses depart park and rides starting 2.5 hours before kickoff for weekend games and up to 2 hours prior on weekday games and meet fans after the game in Parking Lot A for the return trip. Tickets may be purchased at ticket vending machines or at ticket booths at select light rail stations. For more information, visit the Broncos website.
• Fans can also hop on the Federal Shuttle, which stops at Lincoln High School, 2285 South Federal Boulevard, and at bus stops along the boulevard every three to five minutes.
