Location

It is served by the H Line, operated by the Regional Transportation District (RTD), and was opened on November 28, 2004. It is located on Stout Street, between Speer Boulevard and 14th Street, located under the Colorado Convention Center and also close to the Denver Performing Arts Complex.

Colorado Convention Center

Theatre District–Convention Center station is accessible via the Colorado Convention Center, 14th Street, and Stout Street. While at-grade, it is completely covered by the convention center.

Theatre District/Convention Center was one of the first stations on Denver's light rail system with a 4-car platform. As part of the FasTracks plan that was approved by voters in 2004, most light rail stations in Denver have been upgraded to 4-car platforms. From 2004 to 2009, the station was known as Convention Center-Performing Arts station.

The D Line served this station from its opening until it was discontinued in June 2026. The L Line is planned to serve this station following the conclusion of the Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project.
