Colorado allows bags up to 14”x14”x6”, Prohibited bags include, but are not limited to: large purses, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, luggage of any kind, computer bags, camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.

They also have metal detectors now so have things out of your pockets to make entry as quick and easy as possible.
Sealed or empty water bottles will be allowed into the stadium. 32 ounces or less in size. (Water only) We recommend you bring one with you. If you have never been to Colorado that altitude will hit you quickly, especially if you have had any alcohol to drink it sneaks up on you and hits you fast.
Once you enter through Gate A- please group up and wait for everyone in our group to enter the gate. Then we will all walk together as a group to our section.
Game-time Expectations:
Emerald City Supporters is a supporters group. That's important to remember. Do not do get involved in things that will result in you being kicked out! We need all hands-on deck to spur our boys in green on to victory!
-Our section will be 136 and will be treated as General Admission. We do not enforce seat assignments. Tifo, security, and capos will be in the first row of our section. Everyone else is invited to stand where they feel most comfortable within our section.
-Participation is encouraged. If you don’t know all the words to the songs, just follow along the best you can, and your support will be felt! Speaking of support, we like to wave flags, so your view will be blocked at times.
-Don’t drink so much that you get sloppy and give anything less than your best. YOUR BEST IS EXPECTED. You should work to exceed that. A note to those of you who have never drank alcohol at high elevation. It will hit you and it will hit you fast.
-Do not engage in any way with home fans. There's no need to engage in any wordplay, taunting, threats, etc. If you have an issue, notify ECS travel monkeys on the ground or stadium staff.
-You will likely be under surveillance at the stadium. Conduct yourselves accordingly. BEHAVE AS THOUGH YOU ARE BEING WATCHED, BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY ARE.
-FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN OTHER MLS OR USL TEAM GEAR OR COLORS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND WITH US. We will try to have you and your group reseated. If stadium staff cannot accommodate a reseating, then your group will be asked to leave.
Postgame:
We will be held in the section for up to 10-15 minutes. Security will then escort the group back out through the Main Gate and you all will be free to go wherever. Note: If you choose to stay for the fireworks show- be prepared for the traffic jam and you take your own self security into your own hands.
