Thought about it, but reckon I can get better coverage online so I'm going to watch it from my desk at work or take the day off and watch it from the house

Check the shuttles in, but don't expect to be able to get one out. At the Royals parade - my cousin had to wait 5 hours with his family for a bus - and even then there were a ton of people still waiting.

If you're able to walk a couple miles - it might be best to park kinda far away in the direction you want to go to leave. Then maybe you can take a shuttle in from there. But afterwards just be prepared to walk back to your car.

This is what I am worried about. The Royals parade was a cluster. We had to walk clear back to the West Bottoms. It is supposed to be very cold, so we are not wanting to hike 5 miles to get home.

The logistics of this, really leaves you with no good plan.

I thought about parking in River Market and taking the Rail- but they say it won't be running.

So I don't know how to tackle this thing? :hmmm:

Just walk man...you'll be fine.

I read somewhere some people said parking at 12th and Vine wasn't bad last year as far as getting out.

The other option is just get a hotel room nearby for Wed night.

Or maybe just get there early, park close, then plan on idling in your warm car for a few hours after the parade.

Maybe they'll have better shuttle service this time.

I was planning on heading out today. Weather in Denver sucks, Airlines using our all weather airport have canceled about 500 flights since yesterday and it looks like the weather is headed straight to KC.
I have officially "bagged" it
Any of you braving the elements- HAVE FUN (and be safe)

Yeah, this seems like the only option to get out of the place.

For the Royals parade- we did the West Bottoms lot. It took over an hour to get on the bus-which dropped us off 2 miles from Union Station. Afterward, the busses were bogged down and couldn't move, so we walked all the way back. :rolleyes:

Looking at all the drop-off/parking zones, it looks like you will be a Long way from Union Station and can't count on the bus service to get you out of the crowd.

I love the thought of being at the Rally, but the reality seems like it is going to be an all-day thing with not a lot of options leaving.

What is everyone else doing?
