Now that I've had a chance to fly: Yes, those are outside the trains, at the boarding stations. Inside the trains, no info.

Denver C gates
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I couldn't find anything more recent. I just got a notice my connecting mainline UA flight is departing from the C gates tomorrow morning? There can't be that much traffic in B at 10 am (post Labor Day) that they're making people and staff schlep to C. The last thing I want is to spend even more time in an enclosed tube with strangers BEFORE my next flight, presupposing the train is actually working tomorrow. Anyone have recent experience with using the C gates post March 2020?

I had this same observation recently - yesterday flew DEN-ATW (a flight that I have taken about 8-10x this year) out of A73
The entire bank of A71-A?? gates were UA CRJ's coming and going as fast as they could be loaded and unloaded (I have never seen so many people at DEN airport as I did yesterday)
I think the ATW flight out of A is relatively new since about a month ago - I was used to flying out of B and stopped at the newly opened AmEx Cent lounge in C.... had a few drinks before heading out to the outer banks of B only to realize they moved the flight (or I misread the app - probably more likely) to the edge of A.....that is a long walk....fortunately the flight was delayed or I would have clearly missed it.
side note.....
My understanding about how DEN was build - as the largest "non-land locked" airport outside of the middle east airport that can expand forever into there deserts...DEN can expand forever north and west.......
