The Denver Broncos are now calling Empower Field at Mile High their home. It’s located on 1701 Bryant Street in Denver, Colorado and has a seating capacity of 76,125. The stadium is also used for other sporting events, including rugby and soccer.
The newly renamed Empower Field at Mile High was named after a Greenwood Village-based financial-services company that purchased the naming rights for the stadium in 2019. It’s the fifth largest stadium in the NFL and sits one mile above sea level.

For concerts, the stadium’s Kentucky Bluegrass surface can host up to 60,000 screaming fans. The stadium also hosts big-name artists and events like monster truck Monster Jam and dirt bike AMA Supercross races.
New features and enhancements will be added to the stadium in the coming years. These include new video boards, premium hospitality areas, technology, concessions and the Broncos Team Store.
