For example, over the past few years, the metro area has hosted the Super Bowl, the NCAA Final Four tournament, the Frozen Four (NCAA hockey) tournament, the X games and other events. 

There's a ton of development in downtown, from a few trendy hotels and apartment buildings to new Denver-based restaurants coming in, an 8,000 seat lacrosse stadium, a new hockey arena for Colorado College, the Creek Walk along Cheyenne Blvd, and the Ivy Wild development. 

Anything else is icing on the cake.
