It is now sitting out in a giant field of mud - there is an outer perimeter fence and in inner perimeter fence 3 or 4 adjacent sites have 24 hour security patrols.
The view is AWESOME from the top.
There is a 3 story office type building attached to the tower - it is fairly well stripped -there is active AC power on the site and a light over the front door. Many of the external and internal doors are welded/padlocked shut. Be sure when going through any door it does not lock behind you.
The tower itself is 7 or 8 stories high and gives an amazing 360 view of all of Denver. If you go out on the catwalk wave at the possible active security cameras pointing at the catwalk entrance. It's very easy to be seen from the ground when on the catwalk/roof of the tower.
Flash photography was really limited due to the amount of windows - low light resulted in few pictures - we will post what we got ASAP.
11.03.2023 - It opened as a since failed restaurant the "Punchbowl" in 2019. It is currently operating as the "FlyteCo Tower".

Stapleton Airport shut down 12 years ago when the opened DIA - the only structures left are some warehouses, the parking garage and the control tower - it's all in use but the tower appears to be awaiting renovation.

The area immediately around the tower is slated to become a park - maybe a museum in the building itself?
