The franchise arrived in Denver in 1967 as the Denver Rockets, an American Basketball Association club named for owner Bill Ringsby's long-haul trucking company. A 1972 ownership change brought a rename to the Denver Nuggets in 1974, and the club joined the NBA in the 1976 ABA–NBA merger. McNichols Sports Arena opened in 1975—a $16 million, roughly 17,000-seat building that was one of the largest arenas in the ABA—and the Nuggets christened it with a 60-24 season and a run to the 1976 ABA Finals under coach Larry Brown and stars Dan Issel and David Thompson. McNichols also hosted the league's final ABA All-Star Game in January 1976, months before the merger folded the Nuggets into the NBA. The team played there through 1999, then moved into the newly built Pepsi Center; McNichols itself was torn down that same year to make room for parking around the Broncos' new stadium, which had opened nearby. Pepsi Center was renamed Ball Arena in October 2020 after Ball Corporation bought the naming rights.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1975, when McNichols Sports Arena opened—a data-coverage year, not a franchise-founding claim; the Nuggets themselves date to 1967 as the ABA's Denver Rockets.
If your ticket says Pepsi Center, that's the same downtown Denver building under an earlier naming-rights label—Ball Corporation's deal simply replaced the signage, it didn't move the team.
Denver Nuggets play home games at Ball Arena in Denver, CO, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in Mountain time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former arena or an earlier name of the same building.
Use that timeline when dating a night: McNichols Sports Arena (1975–1999) is a former home in a different building—torn down in 1999 to make room for parking at the Broncos' new stadium, not an earlier name for today's arena; Pepsi Center (1999–2020) is an earlier printed name for the exact building the Nuggets play in now; and Ball Arena (2020–present) is that same building today. A ticket that mentions the ABA, Larry Brown, or a 1976 date almost certainly means McNichols. Rebuilding Nuggets attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, arena names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and arenas. When confirmations live in Gmail, Find Your Games walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.
Once you've logged Nuggets games you attended, Ticket Timeline surfaces the attendance story—not a live scoreboard. Visited insights can include ABA-era nights at McNichols Sports Arena (1975–1999), the Pepsi Center years (1999–2020), and today's Ball Arena (2020–present).

Nuggets home games today are at Ball Arena, a roughly 19,500-seat building in downtown Denver; a 64-acre redevelopment of the surrounding blocks was approved by the city in 2024. Former homes and earlier printed names live in the venue timeline above—use those when an old ticket does not say Ball Arena.
Add Nuggets games from memory, import a spreadsheet, or scan ticket stubs. Ticket Timeline links each attended game to NBA context—teams, arenas, players, and notable moments—so nights at Ball Arena and elsewhere become a browsable Denver Nuggets archive. Primary focus on this page: home venue nights.
Denver Nuggets home games at Ball Arena deserve a clean record. Ticket Timeline keeps those attended nights organized with matchup and arena context, and stays useful when you also add road games later.
If your stub says McNichols Sports Arena, it's from a building that no longer exists—torn down for stadium parking the same year the Nuggets moved out, so that ticket is from 1999 or earlier. If it says Pepsi Center instead, you're looking at the same arena the Nuggets play in today, just under its name from before 2020. Either way, it's a real thread back to a game the Nuggets played in an arena that hosted an ABA Finals run.
