Parking
Parking is free for Colorado Rapids home matches. It is recommended to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to kickoff to avoid longer wait times. For the quickest exit after a game, parking in the farther lots (H, F, E) is advised, though it entails a longer walk to the stadium. Valet parking is available for American Family Summit Club members and annual suite leasers.
