Empower Field at Mile High, Stadium in Denver, Colorado, United States
Empower Field at Mile High is a large outdoor stadium with a seating capacity of over 76,000 people, serving as the home venue for the Denver Broncos NFL team and hosting concerts, soccer matches, and other events.
The stadium opened in 2001 to replace the original Mile High Stadium, costing approximately 401 million dollars and designed by HNTB and Fentress Architects to modernize Denver's sports infrastructure with contemporary facilities and expanded seating.
The venue has become a central gathering place for Denver's football fans, known for the tradition of creating thundering noise by stomping on steel floors during games, earning a reputation as one of the loudest stadiums in professional football.
The stadium is located on Bryant Street near Interstate 25 and offers accessible public transportation via a dedicated light rail station, with administrative offices open weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for visitor inquiries.
Denver's elevation of exactly 5,280 feet (1,610 meters) above sea level gives the stadium its name and creates challenging conditions for visiting teams due to the thinner air and reduced oxygen levels at this altitude.
