"We are hosting watch parties at the arena. $20 will get you in the door. We are opening up the whole arena, so we'll have lots of seats open. You can come down, watch the game with Rocky and the gang on the big screen at Ball Arena," said Kerry Anne Keogh, in-game host for the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena.

Ticket sales from the Ball Arena viewing party will go to Kroenke Sports Charities.

Chipotle is giving out free burritos during the NBA Finals

As you're cheering on our Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals on Thursday night, there's a tasty bonus for fans: You can get free Chipotle burritos. The company is calling it a "Free Pointer" promo.

Chipotle tweeted it'll be giving out free burritos every time a Nuggets or Heat player makes a three-pointer. 

However, there are a few rules to follow to ensure you make sure you score your food. Every time a three-pointer is made, Chipotle will tweet a keyword valid for the first 300 people to use it. Then, you'll need to send that word to "888-222" to claim your entrée. If you miss out, you'll have to wait till the next three-pointer.

Up to 10,500 burritos will be given away per game, according to Chipotle.
