 Invesco
Field
Denver, CO
Home of the Denver Broncos for more
than 30 years, for many Bronco fans it was hard picturing the
team playing anywhere else other than Mile High Stadium. In the mid
1990s, Broncos owner, Pat Bowlen, desired a new stadium built for the
team. Although many Bronco fans were content with Mile High Stadium,
the Broncos wanted a new state-of-the-art stadium. In
November 1998, voters finally approved a plan to construct a new stadium.
Construction on the stadium began in August 1999. Since the new
stadium was being built adjacent to Mile High Stadium, fans attending games
at Mile High Stadium could watch the new stadium being constructed. Invesco Funds
purchased the naming rights to the stadium. However, to keep the
spirit of Mile High Stadium alive, the facility was named Invesco
Field at Mile High. Many fans were outraged that the new stadium
was not named the same as its predecessor.

 Construction
of Invesco Field at Mile High was completed in just over two
years. The Denver Broncos first game at Invesco Field at Mile High
was on September 10, 2001. Over 76,000 seats are located
throughout the stadium. Incorporating part of the team name, the
main three tier grandstand is in the shape of a horseshoe. The
lower grandstand circles the entire field.
Above the
seats in the south endzone is the main video/scoreboard. Atop the
scoreboard is a replica of a bronco named "Bucky". Blue,
white and orange seats make up the Broncos team logo in the upper deck above the endzone on the north
side of the stadium. Two video boards are also located in the
upper deck of the north endzone. Invesco Field at Mile High has
many amenities, including the Sports Legends Mall Legacy Walk,
which hosts pre-game activities, the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame
and a Broncos team store. |
