Ball Arena, Indoor arena in Denver, United States
Ball Arena is a multipurpose hall in Denver, Colorado, used for basketball, ice hockey, and lacrosse. It stands in the city center next to railroad tracks and holds space for more than 17,000 spectators depending on the event.
The hall was built in the late 1990s and replaced an older sports facility in the neighborhood. It has been used continuously for professional team sports since its opening.
The arena's name comes from Ball Corporation, a Broomfield-based packaging firm that bought the naming rights in October 2020, replacing PepsiCo. The agreement made Ball the venue's exclusive sustainability partner, and concessions moved to recyclable aluminum packaging by 2022. In the atrium hangs a suspended sculpture of hockey and basketball players in action poses.
The building sits near the highway and is easy to reach by car. On game days, the surrounding parking lots fill up quickly, so it helps to arrive early.
The suspended sculpture in the atrium shows hockey and basketball players in action poses. The octagonal scoreboard used from 1999 was replaced before the 2013–14 season by a four-sided rectangular board; its two centre faces measure 27 by 48 feet.
