Denver also has a 52 or 53 square mile Airport (largest in the US) included in that square mileage for the entire city. Makes a HUGE difference if 1/3 of the city is undevelopable land!

OK but the airport isn't in the city limits its twenty miles from Denver .
People claiming that downtown Denver lacks hotel ammenities have not visited the city recently.
There is the Ritz Carlton, Hyatt Regency,the legendary historic Brown Palace,Oxford Hotel,Marriott..
and The Four Seasons officially opened several days back..just to name a few. The shopping downtown
is fairly pedestrian though, but that's pretty well covered a few miles east in the Cherry Creek district.

It'd still be less dense than Minneapolis, even excluding the airport.
Please fill me in on this......... "Minneapolis is better in every way, shape, and form." I agree these 2 cities are very close, but even in the Denver vs. Minne thread, Denver is ahead!
Fill you in on what? I stated my opinion already. Sorry you're threatened by it... which is surprising, seeing as that you're "ahead" in this little poll.
How anyone could prefer that landlocked totally unvibrant city is beyond me. (Seriously, it was almost desolate at some parts of the day when I was walking around. So unlike a normal "major city." Looking back, I find my whole experience of Denver quite unusual.) But if that's really the majority opinion... *shrug*...haha, sorry for you guys... more Minneapolis/St. Paul for the rest of us.
Hmmm...never been to either one...I'll imagine the weather in Denver is significantly more pleasant than that in Minneapolis. Both metro areas seem to be expanding their LRT systems. Denver's transit system (RTD) is a bit larger and gets a bit more ridership than that in the Twin cities (Metro Transit). Both metro areas are not terribly diverse, though the Denver metro areas has a large hispanic population. The Twin cities metro area, though lacking in immgrants and racial minorities compared to larger metro areas, have the largest Somali and Hmong populations (or among the largest) in the nation.
