Denver Nuggets History
One of the founding teams of the American Basketball Association in 1967, the Denver Nuggets franchise was originally known as the Denver Rockets. They preemptively changed their name to the Nuggets before the 1974–75 season, anticipating a move to the NBA (where Houston’s team already had the name). In their nine ABA seasons, the Nuggets made the playoffs seven times — losing in the finals to the New York Nets in the league's final year.
They were one of four ABA teams annexed to the NBA in 1976 and immediately were one of the most successful teams, winning the Midwest Division two straight years behind future Hall of Famers David Thompson and Dan Issel. In 1980, the arrival of another future Hall of Famer, high-scoring forward Alex English, began a run of nine consecutive seasons in the playoffs. Coach Doug Moe's offensive-minded squads made it past the first round of the playoffs four times, falling three times in the conference semifinals and once in the conference finals, in 1985 to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The team had only one winning season in the 1990s, but it was a memorable one. After finishing 42-40 to sneak into the playoffs as the eighth seed in the 1993–94 season, they upset the top-seed Seattle Supersonics in the first round of the playoffs, thanks in no small part to center Dikembe Mutombo's heroics.
Led by 2003 first-round draft pick Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets reversed their fortunes to post 10 straight winning seasons beginning with the 2003–04 season. The Nuggets won their first NBA championship in 2023, led by two-time league MVP and Finals MVP Nikola Jokić.

The Nuggets play their home games at Ball Arena, which is a short walk from historic Larimer Square in bustling downtown Denver. The venue, with its sculpture-laden Grand Atrium, opened in 1999 as part of the city's six-year boom in sporting venues, which included new football and baseball facilities.
The venue replaced the venerable McNichols Sports Arena, which the Nuggets called home for more than two decades.

I've been to many live events. This was obnoxious. The music ruined the experience.
I get pumping up the crowd. I like high intensity music as part of sports. This was so over the top though that many around me had their fingers in their ears. My wife had to get ear plugs at guest services. I know loud. I've seen the Celtics in The Garden and the Chiefs in Arrowhead, both this year. Worse yet, the music never stopped unless the Nuggets had the ball. You can't hear anything at all on the court and we we're in the 7th row. The music simply ruins the experience you pay for when you come to see a game live. I gave it 3 stars because it was fun seeing the game. I love the Celtics, and the Nuggets are the champs. The food and drink options were also decent. I'd give the "entertainment"component a single star, because the system wouldn't let me give zero. So, would I come back to Ball for a Nuggets game? Probably not.
We have ate at The Gondolier for years because it has the best Italian red sauce in Boulder, as well as incredible homemade pasta. Last night was no exception — it was great and up to our expectations. Everything was good, including the service. We will go back again.
Great seats, and a lot of fun --- I would do it again
This was a great event from arrival to end. Everything went smoothly the staff was helpful and not to mention that game was a success. I am planning a return trip to catch another event!
Great stadium, overall wonderful experience, happy we were able to attend!
The game and the place experience was great, it is a good located Arena and the expedited entrance to the stadium was very good. The exit could be a more faster if more staff promotes exit doors and the price for the alcoholic beverages is too high.
Loved the atmosphere A Memphis Memphis Grizzly attended the Ball Arena. Super great Atmosphere 😃
Getting the tickets was a breeze, seats were great and the game itself was fantastic. Plenty of good parking options as well.
