The money play
Three moves, in order
The first demand spike hits when a home game becomes possible: a series lead, a clinch scenario. Lock a free-cancellation room in LoDo before certainty, while prices are still normal.
The second, much bigger spike lands the moment the date is official, usually days before the game. Rooms near Ball Arena go first, then demand ripples outward through Denver.
If your team doesn't get the game, cancel before the cutoff. It costs nothing. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.
