The city of Denver is temporarily making it easier for everyone to celebrate the Colorado Avalanche.
Officials announced Wednesday that the city is allowing a temporary waiver of the 30-day rule for a temporary modification of premises application.
The change makes it easier to expand where drinks are served, allowing for easier operations for bars and restaurants who want to host Avalanche watch parties, following the team’s advance to the Stanley Cup finals.
