Decatur–Federal station (sometimes stylized as Decatur•Federal) is a light rail station on the W Line of the RTD rail system. It is located between Decatur Street and Federal Boulevard, after which the station is named, in the Sun Valley neighborhood of Denver, Colorado.[1] It is one of two light rail stops that serve Empower Field at Mile High, the home stadium of the Denver Broncos. The station opened on April 26, 2013, and was built as part of the FasTracks public transportation expansion plan.[4][5]

The station sits alongside the banks of the Lakewood Gulch, near the point where it meets the South Platte River. The station is adjacent to Rude Park to the south and Paco Sanchez Park to the west.
Empower Field at Mile High is located approximately 2,100 feet north of the station, on the other side of Colfax Avenue. Despite not being the primary station serving the stadium, it is only around 200 feet further from it than Empower Field at Mile High station and is 2 stops closer on the W Line to points west (such as Lakewood and Golden). The station has a multi-gate bus transfer plaza served by RTD bus routes, and a 474 space park and ride lot.[1]
