I was at the Denver Coliseum today at 11:30 am buying tickets for a Red Rocks concert. The motorcycles were all immediately north at the Western Stock show area. Huge bikes. Loud engine noise. Some were wearing matching shirts...50 or more walking single file towards the Stock Show area which is north of the above I-70 overpass. Coliseum is south of the overpass. Bikers 50 yards away. Going to see Big Head Todd with Dwight Yocum June 11. Everything orderly while I was there.
East Aurora is fairly new and middle class to upscale. The old Aurora has gone downhill. Much of southern Aurora has remained middle class. North Aurora (Colfax area) has gone ghetto; not that Colorado has actual ghettos like many other places do.
Those poor misunderstood bikers once again.
It’s a ‘gun-free zone’:
“For the safety of our guests and artists, certain items cannot be brought into the Coliseum. Food or beverages, alcohol, bottles, cans, coolers, drugs, video or professional still cameras, or anything that can be used as a weapon are NOT PERMITTED into the Coliseum. Guests and their possessions are subject to search prior to entering the Coliseum. Coliseum Management reserves final decision on items brought into the venue.”

I remember watching the Denver Rockets (not the Nuggets) of the ABA and the Denver Spurs of the Western Hockey League at the Coliseum back in the late 60s, early 70s as a boy. I still have a puck that flew into the sparse crowd.
I did the same thing. Nobody remembers the Rockets today. Of course very few know about the Nuggets either.
