Empower Field at Mile High
Invesco Field at Mile High is an American football stadium in the western United States, located in Denver, Colorado. Opened 25 years ago in 2001, its primary tenant is the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL), and it replaced the Broncos' original home, Mile High Stadium.
The stadium is nicknamed "Mile High" due to its predecessor, in reference to Denver's elevation of one mile or 5,280 feet (1,610 m) above sea level. Given the difficulty of competing at altitude, as well as the notoriously loud fans, the Broncos are known to have one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL. Former tenants include the Denver Outlaws lacrosse team and the Colorado Rapids soccer team. It has also played host to many concerts, and was the venue for Barack Obama's acceptance of the Democratic presidential nomination at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
