University of Denver Ritchie Center

DU Hockey games are amazing! Big but small arena with no bad seats. Students and fans are a great crowd.

Over 400 Overland Highschool graduates attended this event the parking was ok but it was a lot of people. From Omaha Ne attending to watch my granddaughter graduate.

On a day that was supposed to be a great event, my daughter’s graduation, it ended up being a terrible experience. Not only were we all shoved out into the rain to meet up with our graduates, we also had to leave our umbrellas at whatever entrance we came in from. Then when we tried to go back in and grab our umbrellas, we were told we had to walk outside, in the rain, without our umbrella, to the other side of the building. Then when we get to the side where the umbrella was at, it is gone. While one worker was very helpful and sorry for the inconvenience, the one worker who had the great idea to make us walk ALL the way around the building, when it could have been an easy, and dry, 2 minute walk, should learn some common decency. The staff needs training in empathy.

I had a great time watching the Pioneers here play hockey for the first time. The staff were all friendly, plenty of great seats in the arena, easy to find parking and to get in and out of the arena, and was just a fun game and atmosphere. We got top floor access, so the seats were comfortable and the food was delicious, especially their sweets! The bell tower was also a cool place to visit to see how the bells work and how the person plays songs with the bells! Overall, I had a fun time watching some hockey and getting some dinner here. Worth the price and time to watch some college hockey!

Don't expect to take water, umbrellas or food inside for your children's high school graduation. Parking was awful, the lines to get in were slow. They don't even allow purses or camera cases. But, the building has great ventilation, nice and cool. Vendors selling popcorn and drinks must have thought their food was made of gold. Very over priced.
