Denver is home to several major American sports teams: The Denver Broncos contest the American Football Conference West in the NFL; Colorado Rapids play soccer in the MLS; The Colorado Rockies represent the city in baseball's National League West; The Denver Nuggets play Basketball in the Western Conference Northwest Division; and the Colorado Avalanche play Ice Hockey in the NHL. You can get tickets to most matches on the day, and a popular activity before the game is a tailgate party in the car park, when people get together for a few drinks and food while they wait for the action to begin. Turn up early and join in, you'll be more than welcome.
