Invesco
FieldDenver, 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. |
