Ball Arena opened in 1999 as the Pepsi Center and took its current name in 2020. It sits on the edge of downtown Denver at 1,600 metres above sea level, which is a genuine sporting factor and not a tourist line — visiting teams shorten their shifts here. The Avalanche share it with the Nuggets, and the hockey configuration seats around 1,500 fewer people than the basketball one.

Published figures for hockey range from 17,809 to 18,007 seats.

A clean, symmetrical three-tier bowl. The 100 level along the boards gives the closest complete view of the sheet and the 100 corners are the value pick, because a corner seat at a hockey game still sees both goals. The club ring flattens the angle. The 300 level is steep and high, and at centre ice it is one of the better cheap hockey seats in the league — the rake is severe enough that nothing is hidden. Note that published capacity figures for this building disagree, because the basketball, hockey and concert configurations are all different rooms.
