Local context
LoDo routinely draws large crowds on game nights and event days, and the Denver Police Department has said it steps up staffing in the Ballpark area to head off disorder. Those patrol patterns and recent crime trends in the neighborhood have been documented in local reporting, according to Westword.
Anyone with information or video related to the fights is asked to contact Denver police via the non-emergency line at 720-913-2000 or call or text 911 for emergencies, per the City of Denver Police Department. The department notes that its social media accounts are not monitored around the clock and urges people to use those official phone numbers for urgent reports.
