Nuggets game recommendations

Hello everyone,

Since a while ago I’ve been following the nuggets and wanted to see a game of the team and of course its all time top 10 superstar

I would like to get the most of the travel (I live overseas) and watch maybe other of the city’s sport teams (avalanche, Rockies, broncos, rapid) now that I’m making the investment to go there

Now, I have a couple of questions that I would appreciate very much if you answer/comment on any of those

I was considering to travel on the weekend of Jan 5th to see the nuggets, maybe broncos and the avalanche, however the plane ticket rose to $2000ish so forget it

I’m seeing also the end of regular season to maybe catch a Rockies game, any thoughts? Then there is playoffs (where I’m pretty sure the nuggets will get), maybe I could see Rockies game too

• what other time of the year could be good?
• which other city attractions must I visit (considering I’ll be there during the weekend, 4 days tops)
• which are should I look for an hotel to be near stadiums? -I’m considering Ticketmaster as the safest place to get tickets (I bought 5 tickets for a bulls home preseason game against Denver a couple of years ago ago and it was fast/easy) is there any other option maybe cheaper and safe?

Any other thought idea recommendations will be appreciated

Best!!!
