Overview

Located in the massive Ritchie Center, a sprawling 70 million dollar mass of copper, gold and sandstone on the University of Denver campus, this arena is home to the school's basketball and hockey teams. But sports are not the only draw at Magness Arena. The university has partnered with mega-promoter Universal Concerts. Now the venue, which can hold 8,000 spectators, has become the city's newest home for popular national artists and touring events. For a sports arena the sound quality is surprisingly good and the steeply graded seating offers good views from every angle of the auditorium.
