I went to my first Colorado Rapids game on Saturday to celebrate my sons' birthdays and had my first experience at Dick's Sporting Good Park in Commerce City, CO. Overall, I had an incredible experience and I would recommend it to everyone at least once in your life. Here are the specifics:
Location: Not that any place in Colorado isn't gorgeous but this is a beautiful venue with a beautiful view of the mountains. It's a little off-the-beaten-path for a major venue but, to me, that made it more accessible. How do I see it that way? Without the crazy traffic of a downtown venue, you can more easily access the venue.
Dick's Sporting Goods Park The venue itself is a beautiful venue. It's very well-kept and the seats are roomy and as comfortable as any venue can be. You really get a chance to take in the full experience with in every single seat. The restrooms were clean and easily accessible from our seats.
Staff: The staff was incredibly friendly and professional. They really seemed to enjoy their jobs as opposed to some other stadiums/parks where the staff seem weathered and exhausted from the start of the game on. Even the online staff hosting the Facebook page are attentive and nice.
Concessions and Souvenirs: Concessions were a touch more affordable than some other stadiums but souvenirs seemed about average rate. The stores and booths were easily accessible and they offered a pretty wide variety of snacks for a smaller venue.
The Game The Rapids have had a rough season but they played incredibly hard against a team that was a contender for the finals. They definitely keep you on your toes and have you cheering. They have a tradition of holding up scarves when they enter the field and whipping them around when they score a goal. It keeps you active and it's a great sport to watch!
Overall, great experience watching my first game. The kids really enjoyed it and the game was exciting and fun. We are definitely joining the Rapids cheering team! Go Rapids
