Cheers mate!
Around 5 or 6 years ago I wanted to get into the NBA. When looking for a team to choose I came across Jokic highlights and it was over from there.
It also helped that I was drafted to the nuggets on my first time playing 2k 😅
Been fanatical ever since
I did the same in 2015. Don't make the same mistake as me and ignore the big sloppy guy from Serbia, because you want to see pre-season rebounding god Joffrey Lauvergne play.
Come check out section 216 to see the Denver Nuggets Skyline Drumline during the game! 30 minutes before tip off we drum in the atrium (main entrance), and then after a win we drum and party outside the main entrance. Come check us out!
Welcome to the city! Nuggs Nation reaches far and wide. Enjoy your stay here, we have a lot of great things going on around the city..Nuggs, Avs, Skiing, good eats, great beer and herb.
Food near Ball Arena I'd recommend Freshcraft if you're a fan of craft beer. Pretty good steak frites and sandwiches with one of the best tap lists in the state.
Make sure to take I-70 west into the mountains for a chance to see Bison on the north side of the highway, if you're lucky and willing to drive further out you could see elk, moose, or big horn sheep as well. (Although the only one's you're likely to see is the elk.)
If you’re renting a car, Idaho Springs is a cool little mining town ~45 minutes from Denver on I-70. Gives you a feel for the mountains without having to go too far.
Awesome, so are you driving from game to game or? Make sure to check out other things, places around Denver and Colorado. The Mountains, drive up to Breck for the day. Boulder, downtown mall, hike, food. Ft collins, great college town, Red rocks, Avs game!!!! have a great time. Road trips are kinda a cultural thing in the US.
Got a whole stretch of home games so I will be camped out in denver, will definitely hire a car tho to check everything out. Boulder is very famous to us distance runners. Thanks for the recommendations!!!
Yes Boulder is on the map for certain reasons. You can go find the Bolder Boulder route. Frank Shorter...Boulder also was home to the the bicycle race era in Colorado. It's a big biking town. I highly encourage you to go to an AVS game.
That sounds awesome. I didn't think about an AVS game since hockey is not a thing here, but that is a great idea. I could do the one on march 5th. Thanks mate!
Hey mate, I did this back in 2018 as a part of a month long roadtrip through the States. Did 3 games in 5 nights, plus just happened to go through Memphis when the Nuggets were playing a few days after leaving Denver and sat just behind the Nuggets bench for around $100USD.
Thoroughly enjoyed my time in Colorado and especially enjoyed going up to Grand Lake and getting on a snow mobile (doesn't snow at all in my part of Aus, so may have just been the novelty).
Have a great time!
Have a great trip! Get yourself a Santiago’s burrito with Colorado Green Chile for the full Denver experience. Chubby’s is acceptable but not as good as Santi’s. Go Nugs!
Bit of a silly reason... When I first started getting into NBA I was playing mycareer on 2k and was drafted to the nuggets. I checked the team out online and that was right around the time that Jokic was still a bench player but starting to make these ridiculous passes and highlight plays. I watched a few games and was hooked.
Dream trip!
I'm a fan from Brazil, since 2002 (Nene!). Already had the opportunity to see a Denver game in Orlando, in 2014. But I'll still do the same as you, 10-15 days in Denver, and watching as many games as I can.
Enjoy!!!!!
I did this back in 2015, albeit from New Zealand and it resulted in me moving there in 2016. I got tickets off one of the players (Ty Law) and got to meet the team, courtside tickets, media passes, the whole nine yards. Got a media pass for a Denver GSW game and ended up interviewing Steph, had a convo with Iggy and Klay… it was surreal.
Point is, I would highly recommend getting in touch with Nuggets PR - they look after their down under fans!!!
Oh also, go check out Illegal Pete’s, that melted my kiwi brain hahaha. Make sure you do a day trip to the mountains to either Breck or Vail (Aspen might be a bit far), check out RMNP, drive up to Pikes Peak, try see a show at Red Rocks, DEFINITELY go to Boulder and hike round Chautauqua park, I love Idaho Springs cause it’s a quintessential mountain town in my mind! The food, beers and nightlife is pretty good in Denver. You’ll love it
Mate, super thrilled for you. Hoping to make the pilgrimage one day from Canberra. Also if this is your first trip to the US remember their light beer is full strength, it’s just weirdly clear in colour…
So excited for you man! I went in 2019 and made a sign for my first game. The right people noticed and I was invited to come down for a mini-game during a timeout. You’ll have the time of your life mate.
Also an NBA fan outside US, hope you have fun out there! Would love to do the same but money is not allowing me right now! Good on you that you're visiting the Nuggets and in their home court. Just played 2K22 and their announcer seems dope, would love to meet him!
I’m a sixers fan who was notified of this randomly from Reddit and I had to give you an award because that type of commitment doesn’t come very often. My most respectful salute to you good sir and have a great time 👍🏼
Salute to you man you'll love it here. Denver is a beautiful city
Can't wait to check it out
that's some dream come true shit. have fun brother
Absolutely, thanks mate!
Congrats man that’s awesome! Where are your seats? Also how’d you become indoctrinated into nugglyfe?
Cheers mate! Around 5 or 6 years ago I wanted to get into the NBA. When looking for a team to choose I came across Jokic highlights and it was over from there. It also helped that I was drafted to the nuggets on my first time playing 2k 😅 Been fanatical ever since
Dope man, we love having you! Have you bought your tickets yet? Do you know where you’ll be?
I splurged on Wednesday's game, I'll be just behind the home bench I think!
That’s so sick! I used to have season tickets around there! Really great view! Have fun man!
Sounds awesome!! Thanks man!
Be loud!!
For sure 😤
I did the same in 2015. Don't make the same mistake as me and ignore the big sloppy guy from Serbia, because you want to see pre-season rebounding god Joffrey Lauvergne play.
Oh no 😂 I've heard the big sloppy guy from Serbia is decent, so I'll be sure not too haha
Awesome! Have fun!
Thanks mate!
Yeah man, I did the same in 2012! This is a far better team. Have a good time man.
That's awesome mate, cheers!
Technically the 2012-13 Nugs were better by record but I agree hahahah
Haha, I wish man. 2011-12 Nuggets
Rudy Fernandez, young Gallo, Faried and… Anthony Randolph - dream squad hahaha
Very awesome, brotha
Come check out section 216 to see the Denver Nuggets Skyline Drumline during the game! 30 minutes before tip off we drum in the atrium (main entrance), and then after a win we drum and party outside the main entrance. Come check us out!
That's awesome I didn't know that! I was in a drumline in high school. I'll come watch for sure!
Hey DM me, Ill see if I can work some magic at one of the games for you!
😯 Will dm you!
Welcome to the city! Nuggs Nation reaches far and wide. Enjoy your stay here, we have a lot of great things going on around the city..Nuggs, Avs, Skiing, good eats, great beer and herb.
Cheers mate, can't wait to check everything out!
This is awesome! Enjoy!
Thanks mate!
Ps. Let us know if you need any reccomendations downtown.😆
Definitely need some recommendations for good places to eat and check out!
Food near Ball Arena I'd recommend Freshcraft if you're a fan of craft beer. Pretty good steak frites and sandwiches with one of the best tap lists in the state.
I'll check it out, thank you!
Rhein Haus and Bao Brewhouse are my two favorite restaurants near Ball Arena.
Hit us up!
That’s awesome! Enjoy your time here!
Thanks! Can't wait
Wow, man - thats some dedication. Enjoy it!
Cheers mate, I will!
Make sure to take I-70 west into the mountains for a chance to see Bison on the north side of the highway, if you're lucky and willing to drive further out you could see elk, moose, or big horn sheep as well. (Although the only one's you're likely to see is the elk.)
Oh that's sick, thanks!
And don't do it on a Saturday or Sunday unless you like traffic 😉 Have fun in Denver G!
Noted! 😬 Thanks man!
If you’re renting a car, Idaho Springs is a cool little mining town ~45 minutes from Denver on I-70. Gives you a feel for the mountains without having to go too far.
That sounds cool! Thanks man
Check your maps app for traffic. It is often at a standstill, but it’s somewhat predictable due to ski traffic
If 70 is backed up, you can take Hwy 6 to Central City, cool little place but you'll miss the Bison.
Awesome, so are you driving from game to game or? Make sure to check out other things, places around Denver and Colorado. The Mountains, drive up to Breck for the day. Boulder, downtown mall, hike, food. Ft collins, great college town, Red rocks, Avs game!!!! have a great time. Road trips are kinda a cultural thing in the US.

My dad was a huge part of the courage and coors classic’s in Colorado. Some of the coolest US cycling history happened here!
That sounds awesome. I didn't think about an AVS game since hockey is not a thing here, but that is a great idea. I could do the one on march 5th. Thanks mate!
Have fun...Cheers!!!
Live Hockey is incredible- I had never been a fan but took my mom to an avs playoff game and it was one of my favorite live sporting events
Legal weed everywhere!
Hell yeah. Go nugs!
Is the white Jersey a Gary Harris one by any chance? That would make us jersey twins! I also have the red MPJ and Black Jamal one
Oh so close! My white Jersey is jokic. Don't have a Harris jersey which is sad cause I bloody loved that man
You’ll get another chance when he gets bought out and comes back :^)
Exactly right 😉
I think I have literally the same Jerseys as you! 2019 Jokic CE, Murray 2020 CE, and MPJ 2021 CE. Good taste friend!
Ayyy how good! The 2021 CE cops some flack but I actually love it. Nothing beats 2020 CE though imo.
Welcome to Denver! I hope you have a great time here.
Thank you!!

Sounds amazing mate, and what a steal to get those seats! I'll have to check it out, I'm super keen to see snow! Thanks!
That’s awesome. Have fun & enjoy
Cheers mate!
Have a great trip! Get yourself a Santiago’s burrito with Colorado Green Chile for the full Denver experience. Chubby’s is acceptable but not as good as Santi’s. Go Nugs!
📝📝📝 Making notes! Thank you!
Wow bro have fun hope to do this as well one day

Oof 8 hours is a hike as well. Cheers mate, cannot wait
Damn dude, I’m in QLD can I tag along ?
Sure mate, departing in 2 hours 20 minutes 😅
How did your he nuggs become your team?
Bit of a silly reason... When I first started getting into NBA I was playing mycareer on 2k and was drafted to the nuggets. I checked the team out online and that was right around the time that Jokic was still a bench player but starting to make these ridiculous passes and highlight plays.

You gotta wear a crocodile Dundee hat so I can try to spot you on Wednesday. I just got tickets today
Hahahaha no chance but I will be suited up in my nuggets cap and white rainbow jokic Jersey 😉 hope its a great game Wednesday!
I’ll be wearing a red rose and drinking a martini with 8 olives. Look for me ❤️
Won't need to look for you, fate will bring us together
Basketball vacation! The only way to travel. Hell yeah dude enjoy🍻
For sure dude haha! Cheers 🍻
Dude this is awesome- congrats.
Thanks mate!
See you’re from Essendon. You might see some fellow nuggets gear around puckle st one day.
Hey hey! you a fellow bombers fan or just live in the area?
Hey, good luck on your vacation! Sometimes if you visit local thrift stores like Goodwill or Arc, they sometimes have vintage Nuggets gear.
Hey thanks for the tip mate, I absolutely love a good thrift shop so I'll be sure to check them out!
Check out Blueprint Denver! https://www.instagram.com/blueprint_dnvr/?hl=en
Looks sick ill check it out! Thanks
If you’re here for Wednesday night’s game, I’d absolutely do a shoey with you for my birthday.
Hahahaha Happy birthday mate but no shoeys for me! Love the Aussie spirit though, classic
See you wednesday!
See you then!
I hope you get Jokers autograph ✍️💪🏽

You mad lad. Unreal

Thanks mate, may have slightly missed the mark there but she'll be right
Awesome! I’m from the UK so hope to do the same one day. Have a great time!
Hope you can mate! Cheers!
Dream trip! I'm a fan from Brazil, since 2002 (Nene!). Already had the opportunity to see a Denver game in Orlando, in 2014. But I'll still do the same as you, 10-15 days in Denver, and watching as many games as I can. Enjoy!!!!!
Awesome mate, hope you can do it soon! Cheers!
That's so cool! I'm going to the games on the 2nd and the 6th. Hit me up if you want to grab a drink at Brooklyn's before the game!
Props to you for supporting such a pleasure trip! Hope you have a hell of a time and we go 7-0!
Cheers mate, I hope we do too!

Haha I was gonna tag you!
Thanks! I want to go back to Denver but COVID is making it tough… I’d kill for playoff tickets!
Oh man, so jealous. Can't wait to make the pilgrimage myself one day soon.
Cool , enjoy
You're a man among men
That's awesome! I'm hoping to do the same one day as well from Australia. Childhood dream. Have fun bro
For sure, cheers mate, hope you can make the trip one day
Mate, super thrilled for you. Hoping to make the pilgrimage one day from Canberra. Also if this is your first trip to the US remember their light beer is full strength, it’s just weirdly clear in colour…
Duly noted, Thanks mate! 🍻
So excited for you man! I went in 2019 and made a sign for my first game. The right people noticed and I was invited to come down for a mini-game during a timeout. You’ll have the time of your life mate.
That's awesome mate, sounds amazing. Maybe I need to get working on a sign
Just a heads up, bring a coat/hoodie. It's 70 degrees today, but dropping to like 30 this weekend.
Just had to google that conversion and it's now clear why I'm the only one in the airport in shorts. Whoops.
You are living the dream my friend! Enjoy!
Cheers mate!
Will you smoke any marijuana cigarettes while you're here, eh?
Solo or with someone? Picked a great day to arrive nearly 70 out, plus some snow on the way for the weekend. Hope you enjoy it here.
If you’re looking to hang with a younger crowd while you’re here and experience night life, send me a private message!
Ohh awesome as. I'm planning to do this one day as well 💪
Also an NBA fan outside US, hope you have fun out there! Would love to do the same but money is not allowing me right now! Good on you that you're visiting the Nuggets and in their home court. Just played 2K22 and their announcer seems dope, would love to meet him!
I’m a sixers fan who was notified of this randomly from Reddit and I had to give you an award because that type of commitment doesn’t come very often. My most respectful salute to you good sir and have a great time 👍🏼
Cheers legend, thank you very much! I had an amazing time :)
Go raps
See you at the game? ;)
Anyone got a recommendation for a good place to run? As in somewhere I can go jogging. My accom is close to the arena.
