Broomfield Center Finally On The Rise

After struggling with entertainment bookings for its first year—sans the obligatory games that come with housing two minor league sports teams—the Broomfield Event Center has landed a huge act: Cirque du Soleil. Perhaps hiring Gene Felling as its manager this summer is beginning to pay dividends. He came to Broomfield with much fanfare after a successful stint at The Forum in Los Angeles. The Cirque show, titled “Saltimbanco,” runs Dec. 3-13. It marks its return to the Denver area after a successful run downtown a few years back.

What’s Next: We’ll see if this momentum continues and what else Felling can lure to town. We’re also still waiting for Bob Dylan to stop by.
