Invesco
Field
Home of the Denver Broncos for more than 30 years, it was hard for
many Bronco fans to picture the team playing anywhere else than
Mile High Stadium. In the mid 1990s, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen
wanted a new stadium built for the team. Many
Bronco fans were content with Mile High Stadium, however the
Broncos wanted a new state of the art stadium. In November 1998,
voters approved a plan to construct a new stadium. Construction on
the stadium began in August 1999. Fans attending games at Mile
High Stadium could watch the new stadium being constructed because
it was built adjacent to it. 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".
Using blue, white, and orange seats, the Broncos team logo has
been incorporated into 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 host pre-game activities, the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame
and a Broncos team store.
