In 2001, Invesco
Field replaced the aging and crumbling Mile High Stadium. Mile High
Stadium had hosted several pro sports teams in Denver, including: The Broncos,
The Rockies and the Rapids. While few people really had a problem with replacing
the old stadium, the name change caused such a controversy that Invesco
(the firm that had purchased the naming rights to the stadium) had to add
"@ Mile High" to the end of Invesco Field to quell the critics.
A rather striking stadium that holds over 71,000, it feels remarkably cramped
when full.
