I have a reservation at the Residence Inn, because it looked like it was within walking distance, but I was wondering whether it would be safe to walk back to the hotel from the stadium after the concert. Is the neighborhood OK? I assume there'd be a bunch of people walking back, but wanted to know if you know anything about the surrounding area. Thanks.

I'm kind in the same boat as lotijane there, I was thinking of booking there myself where she is at, but I was also thinking about having to walk alone. I know Denver isn't that bad of a city, but just never know now days.

There is a Residence Inn near the stadium? I might have to change my hotel.
For anyone still looking - rooms are available still at the VQ where a few of us are crashing.
It is within the stadium grounds (you can't get a room closer!) and includes parking which helps to offset the higher prices for show night with a 1 King bed room or 2 Double beds room going for $139+taxes as I write this. Accessible through my site's association with part of Expedia (see link in my signature) or by clicking here

I actually have a reservation there, too, but depending on how many of my kids, and possibly their friends, go with me, I'd need more room, and I don't really want to get two rooms at the VQ. So once the concert gets closer, I'll cancel one or the other (VQ or Residence Inn.)
Yeah - Residence Inns are pretty unbeatable for room - we love 'em

Yes, the Residence Inn is within walking distance and the area is safe. I have some friends who live just around the corner from that hotel. You'll be walking through a neighborhood that is a bit diverse, but should be just fine.
My friends and I wandering around Croke Park in Dublin post show last summer was MUCH more unsafe!
Hotel VQ
Just checked easyclicktravel.com again, they still have rooms at the VQ for $60 per night ($145 w/ taxes for two nights). the convenience of the location makes this place the obvious choice if you happen to be going GA. rooms would be bigger (maybe nicer) at residence inn, but a bit of a long walk i would only make with a large group in the middle of the night.

Note that the rate you quote here is just shown as an indicator and unlike some other hotels the status for that price is 'on request' rather than 'available'. It is the normal rate for the hotel when there are no events/games at the stadium. What you will likely find if you try for a booking is that they get back to you to say the price is actualy $xxx for that night because U2 are at Invesco Field. The price I quoted in my earlier post ($139+tax) was and still is available for show night.

I went to book directly through them and there isn't room for the day of the show. I wanted 11-13th, and it only let me click 11th and 13th, the 12this booked. I kind of need a conformation that there is still room for them, until I book and find out I have to leave the 12th and go somewhere else, which I wouldn't have the money to do.

Yeah the area is pretty diverse, when I went for American Idol auditions there last summer, it wasn't bad at all.

Official word is the GA line starts at 7:00AM. On a beautiful summer weekend in Denver, I would expect a relatively early crowd. If you want to be inside the circle, you will probably have to be in line by noon or soon after. I plan to shuffle over from the hotel at 7:00 to stake my place toward the front. Line is on the north side of stadium, so some shade is possible.

thought that was strange

By noon? I don't think so. You could have strolled into the inner circle around 630-7 at most shows this past fall...

I plan on being there pretty early myself, depends if I'll be staying the night before or not. Money is extremely tight right now for me.

6 hours on a desert highway? My perfect vacation.
Me too. I love those drives, losing myself in the desert scenery - really clears the mind, and you can always pull off the I-10 to stretch your legs in the Joshua Tree NP.
Well...I hate to disappoint you, but I'm 99.9% sure there won't be a 2nd show in Denver. The first one hasn't yet sold out. From what I've heard, it's down to the cheap seats but not yet sold out. U2 is very popular in Denver and they could probably do 4 nights at the Pepsi Center , but Denver just isn't big enough to draw a 2nd show at such a big venue.
Zoo TV sold out Mile High. But the Popmart show there was about half full. It's encouraging, though, that 360 is selling much better than Popmart did and will almost certainly sell out by June.
