What it's known for
The stadium replaced the original Mile High Stadium next door and kept the name’s spirit, along with the thin air that visiting teams always talk about. A statue of Bucky, the white bucking bronco, sits on top of the south scoreboard.
Denver’s altitude means the ball carries a little farther, and visitors can feel short of breath walking up the steep upper decks. Broncos fans are known for loud crowds and long tailgates.
Getting there
The stadium has its own light rail station, and it’s a manageable walk from downtown and LoDo. The surrounding lots are popular for tailgating.
Tips for your visit
- Drink water and take the stairs slowly; the altitude is real.
- Weather swings fast in Denver: a sunny September afternoon and a snowy December night can feel like different sports.
- Coors Field is a short ride away if you’re also collecting ballparks.
