This weekend in Denver, celebrate a great season with the Colorado Rapids, see murals from artists all over the world or get a few laughs with comedy superstar Kevin Hart.

Enjoy fan appreciation night as the Colorado Rapids (15-11-5) take on the Seattle Sounders FC (14-9-8) at DICK's Sporting Goods Park.
Why it matters: This is the final regular season match before the playoffs begin.
Catch up quick: The Burgundy Boys clinched their ticket to the postseason and are fourth in the Western Conference standings.
Yes, but: Seattle is playoffs-bound, too, so this won't be a cakewalk.
What to expect: Each player will be giving away one of their jerseys to preselected MVP fans at the end of the match.
