Colorado Mammoth celebrates Ball Arena's 25th anniversary

DENVER – The Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League (NLL) is proud to join the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) in celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ball Arena.

Since first invading Denver in 2003 when the organization made its debut in the National Lacrosse League, the Colorado Mammoth have transformed Ball Arena into the LOUD HOUSE for more than two decades and are one of the lacrosse world's most storied organizations.

While the building serves as home to two epic NLL championship banners from the team's league-topping campaigns from the 2006 and 2022 seasons, the LOUD HOUSE is also home to the retired jerseys of several of the team's living legends.

These stars include Gary Gait, Brian Langtry, Gavin Prout and John Grant Jr., who are not only among the team's most successful athletes but are also considered NLL royalty in their own right. Mammoth fans who have supported the organization for 22 years can likely remember a favorite goal or moment from one of these legends.

While each of the famous athletes represents different eras of Colorado Mammoth lacrosse, the team continues to cherish memories of the LOUDEST fans in lacrosse!
