Mile High Stadium

Mile High Stadium, Sports stadium in Denver, United States.

Mile High Stadium was an open-air multi-purpose stadium in Denver, Colorado, with a roughly oval, multi-tiered seating bowl around a rectangular field. Its east side held a movable, triple-decked grandstand weighing about 4,000 tons, shifted hydraulically to convert between baseball and football layouts. A tall curved facade of stacked horizontal decks with dark rectangular openings ran along the exterior, and large white screens stood above the seating.

Built in 1948 as Bears Stadium for the Denver Bears, it was sold to the city in 1968 and renamed Mile High Stadium after an upper deck raised capacity to 50,657. The Broncos played there from 1960 to 2000, and the Colorado Rockies used it in 1993 and 1994, setting an MLB attendance record of 4,483,350 in 1993. It was demolished in 2002.

The stadium's name comes from Denver's elevation of one mile, about 5,280 feet (1,609 m) above sea level. The thin air affected play: the Broncos sold out every game from their inaugural NFL season, and the 1993 Rockies drew 4,483,350 fans, the best attendance in baseball history at the time.

The site no longer exists, but the location lies near the current Empower Field, built on the same spot. Those exploring the area can see the general surroundings and adjacent parking lots that remain in use.

During the 1993 baseball season, spectators sat on temporary bleachers in the outfield because the Colorado Rockies played here while their own ballpark was still under construction. The Rockies set several attendance records that season, even though the facility was designed for football.
