Empower Field at Mile High Events

When Empower Field opened in 2001 as the new home of the Denver Broncos, first as Invesco Field, then later as Sports Authority Field, many long-time Broncos fans felt cheated of the sense of local identity that the previous stadium had helped to foster. The name of Mile High Stadium was a nod to Denver’s famous sobriquet, the Mile High City, which stems from the fact that the city of Denver is almost exactly one mile above sea level. In 2018, the fans finaally got what they wanted, when the new stadium was renamed Broncos Stadium at Mile High and later Empower Field at Mile High following a sponsorship deal (most fans nowadays just refer to it as “The Mile High Stadium” or “New Mile High”). But there is more to the city’s elevation above sea level than just nostalgia and local pride. Visiting teams who come to Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High frequently struggle with the altitude, as well as the deafening noise from the stands, giving the Broncos a serious home field advantage.
