PEPSI CENTER |
The Can
as it is known to Denver Nuggets fans, the Pepsi Center is the place to be during
the winter months in the Mile High City.
The Nuggets have been a part of the NBA since 1974 when they moved from
the American Basketball Association. One year after becoming part of the
NBA the Nuggets began playing at McNichols Sports Arena. The 17,000 seat
arena was the home of the Nuggets and two NHL teams, the Colorado
Rockies and later the Colorado Avalanche. Like every other team in the
NBA and NHL, a new arena was needed for both teams in order to remain
competitive in both leagues. Construction began in November 1997 and was
named after Pepsi bought the naming rights for $68 million. |

In 1999 the
Nuggets played their first game at the Pepsi Center. The arena has a seating
capacity of just over 19,000. It features 95 luxury suites, 1,800 club
seats, the Lexus Club, the Blue Sky Grill featuring western crusine and The
Denver Post Newsroom. Outside, the Pepsi Center’s
façade reflects the neighborhood brick buildings and old rail yard. Fans
enter through two atriums that have sculptures of basketball and hockey
athletes in poses. Inside the Pepsi Center fans can see the Rocky Mountains and downtown Denver. Since
the 2003-04 season the Nuggets have had four consecutive winning seasons.
With stars such as Carmelo Anthony, the future looks bright for the Nuggets.
