Empower Field at Mile High

Empower Field at Mile High is an American football stadium in Denver, Colorado. Opened in 2001, it replaced the original Mile High Stadium and is home to the NFL's Denver Broncos. Its nickname reflects Denver's elevation of one mile above sea level. Visitors can experience the intense home-field advantage created by the altitude and loud fans. The stadium has also hosted concerts, lacrosse and soccer teams (Denver Outlaws and Colorado Rapids), and the 2008 Democratic National Convention where Barack Obama accepted the nomination. The venue is expected to be replaced by a new stadium in 2031.
