About the city
Laramie, a university city on the high plains of southeastern Wyoming, combines the distinctive culture of the American West with the energy brought to the city by the University of Wyoming. For visitors looking for tickets to sporting events, concerts, and other performances, Laramie offers several important gathering places within a relatively compact area. War Memorial Stadium is the central venue for major university sporting events, Arena-Auditorium hosts indoor sports and larger gatherings, while the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts presents concerts, theatre, dance, and other performing arts programs. Thanks to the strong connection between the city and the university campus, the atmosphere surrounding events often extends into the restaurants, bars, and shops of the historic downtown district.
Getting to and around Laramie is relatively straightforward. Laramie Regional Airport (LAR) is located close to the city and provides regional air access, while Denver International Airport (DEN) is an important larger air gateway for visitors continuing to Wyoming by road. The city is connected by Interstate 80 and U.S. Route 287, making arrival by car convenient from different parts of the American West. Local UW Transit connects the University of Wyoming area with other parts of Laramie through the Express and Link routes, while SafeRide complements the system with on-demand transportation. Sports and cultural venues in the university area are located close to the main campus roads, making a combination of public transport, walking, and driving practical for event visitors. The historic Union Pacific railroad complex remains an important part of the city's identity, but the Historic Laramie Train Depot today serves primarily as a heritage attraction rather than a regular intercity passenger terminal.
Before or after an event, it is worth setting aside time for Historic Downtown Laramie, where historic buildings of the American West mix with restaurants, cafés, and locally owned shops. Nearby are the Union Pacific Railroad Pedestrian Footbridge and the Historic Laramie Train Depot, reminders of the city's strong railroad heritage. Visitors interested in history can explore the Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site or the Laramie Plains Museum in the historic Ivinson Mansion, while the Laramie River Greenbelt offers a more relaxed option for a walk beside the river. A stroll through the University of Wyoming campus, the historic downtown district, and the green spaces along the river is an easy way to turn a visit for a sporting event or concert into a fuller experience of Laramie and Wyoming's distinctive landscape.
