Denver does have very pretty sports stadiums. Invesco is HUGE too.

It's a great city overall but I HATE the Broncos.

Nice pictures!  Reminds me of, well, here!  You missed the Spire and Four Seasons towers under construction, both to be 40 some stories.  I think 4S is only at about 6 stories right now and Spire is around 20.  You got one of the recently topped of 1 Lincoln Park condo tower though. 

I've never been in any of the sports parks/arenas yet.  I'm sure we will eventually when our boys are old enough.

The fountains are nice...

but they are no WATER SPECTACULAR.

Thanks!  I'm glad these pictures remind you Denver!  Denver has some nice sporting venues I'm sure you will enjoy whenever you go.

They were kind of cool.  It was just poor timing on my part.

But... But... what about when the Royals jumped in the WATER SPECTACULAR after they won the world series?  Does that count?
