Empower Field at Mile High

Empower Field at Mile High is a stadium for American football in Denver, Colorado. The structure includes several tiers of seating and hospitality areas, with suites and club sections running along both sides of the playing field.

The stadium opened in 2001, replacing the previous home of the Denver Broncos that had been in use since the 1960s. Since then, it has served as a venue for football games, concerts, and other large events in the region.

Supporters of the home team fill the stands wearing orange clothing, turning the entire venue into a sea of color that reflects the team's identity every game day. Fans bring blue and orange flags or scarves, making the crowd itself part of the visual experience throughout each event.

Visitors arriving for the first time should plan to arrive early, as entry security takes time and nearby parking fills quickly. Accessible seating and elevators are located throughout the facility, helping guests with limited mobility navigate the venue easily.

During home games, players enter the field through a mock stable entrance, referencing the team name and its tradition. The elevation causes kicked balls to travel farther than at sea level, often catching visiting kickers off guard and leading to unexpected results.
