Mile High Stadium - the sports venue located in Denver, Colorado commonly known today as Empower Field at Mile High - is a large professional stadium that serves as the home of the NFL’s Denver Broncos. It opened in 2001 as a replacement for the former Mile High Stadium and has been the Broncos’ primary home since then.

The venue seats roughly 76,000 spectators for football and is also used for major concerts and occasional large events. Its elevation of about 5,280 feet above sea level is a notable characteristic that influences athletic performance and spectator experience.

The stadium replaced the old Mile High Stadium site and has undergone several naming changes since opening, reflecting corporate sponsorships. It includes modern amenities, premium seating areas and facilities for large public events.

The stadium is located just west of downtown Denver, Colorado, adjacent to the city’s transportation corridors and visible from parts of the central city.

• Elevation: Sits at roughly one mile (about 5,280 feet) above sea level, a defining feature reflected in the stadium’s name and affecting athletic performance and ball flight.
• Capacity: Permanent seating capacity is approximately 76,000 for NFL games, with additional capacity for concerts and special events.

Mile High Stadium (Empower Field at Mile High) sits just west of downtown Denver, roughly 3 miles (about 5 km) from the city center. By car take westbound streets such as Colfax Avenue (US‑40) or use I‑25 and local surface streets to reach stadium parking; on event days RTD runs extra bus and light‑rail connections and there are nearby transit stops with a walk of 10-20 minutes to the venue.

• For game days and concerts, use Denver's RTD public transit rather than driving-light rail and bus services stop near the stadium and save lengthy event-day traffic and parking hassles.
• Plan to arrive at least 60-90 minutes before kickoff or showtime to clear security lines and settle in; peak arrival in the last 30 minutes can mean long queues and congestion.
• If you're interested in tours or up‑to‑date visitor rules (ticketed tours, bag policies, or accessibility info), check the official stadium/Broncos website before you go so you're prepared for game‑day procedures.
