INVESCO Field at Mile High


INVESCO Field at Mile High is a sporting event and events stadium in Denver, Colorado. INVESCO Field at Mile High replaced the identically sized, but commercially obsolete Mile High Stadium (named for the fact that Denver is approximately one mile above sea level) in 2001. Many fans opposed a corporate name and now refer to the stadium simply as "Mile High Stadium".

INVESCO Field is used primarily for football games. It is the home field for both Denver's NFL team, the Denver Broncos, and the city's Major League Soccer franchise, the Colorado Rapids. INVESCO Field is also used for concerts and other events.

INVESCO Field marks the completion of a six-year sporting venue upgrade program in Denver, including Coors Field and the Pepsi Center.
