When was The Mission Ballroom established?
The Mission Ballroom was a vision that took 11 years to realize, spearheaded by Chuck Morris, CEO of AEG Presents Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest. Announced in April 2018, construction began shortly after, with designs inspired by iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Brooklyn Steel. The venue, built by Westfield Company as part of the 14-acre North Wynkoop mixed-use development, opened on August 7, 2019, with a performance by The Lumineers. Designed by Works Progress Architecture, it was crafted to offer flexibility and an intimate concert experience, positioning it as a competitor to Live Nation’s Fillmore Auditorium and a key anchor for the RiNo neighborhood’s transformation into a thriving arts and entertainment hub.
