Live at the Rapids Tailgate

Saturday, September 12th, 2026

Chicken Coup is playing the pregame tailgate before the Colorado Rapids take on CF Montréal at DICK'S Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City! We'll be playing two 45-minute sets during the tailgate, which runs from 4 to 7 PM ahead of the 7:30 PM kickoff.

This one is family friendly! It's an afternoon show, outdoors, in a parking lot full of soccer fans. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, bring the neighbors.

How to get in

The tailgate is hosted by Centennial 38, the Rapids supporters group, in Lot F on the south side of the stadium. Here's what we've been able to figure out about getting in:

Tailgate entry: Single-day tailgate tickets are $12 per person through Centennial 38 and include food and the live music. Grab yours at the Rapids v Montreal Tailgate event page. Questions can go to reservations@c38sg.com.
Parking: Parking at DICK'S Sporting Goods Park is free for Rapids home matches. Head for the lots on the south side (Lot F) when you arrive.
Game tickets: You do not need a ticket to the match to come hang at the tailgate. If you want to stay for the game, grab tickets from the Colorado Rapids (kids 3 and up need their own ticket).
Kids: Welcome! The tailgate is outdoors in daylight. Note that stadium rules limit tailgating to one parking stall per vehicle and require grills to be controlled flame (propane under 20 lbs, no charcoal or wood).

If you're a Rapids fan already going to the game, come early and catch us before the March to the Match heads for the gates.
