Denver Coliseum Will Become a Warming Center During This Week’s Bitter Cold

Dec 20, 2022, 2:53 PM

Denver will likely see temperatures colder than we’ve had in the city in three decades on Thursday. Unfortunately a large population of people have nowhere to go to escape those dangerously low temperatures, so the city is doing something about it.

A 24-hour warming center will be opening at the Denver Coliseum beginning on Wednesday.

The coliseum, which is located at 600 Humboldt Street, will be open for anyone who needs a warm place to stay. In addition, all of Denver’s recreation centers will be operating as warming centers during their regular hours on Thursday and Friday.
