Sports Authority Field At Mile High

I’m dating myself a bit here, but I do have vivid memories of the old Mile High Stadium. But the new stadium is just one that has been quite elusive. I thought I would have chance to witness my first regular season game last year but was denied early on.
The Broncos former home was truly a special place, but it seems as if several new buildings are lacking that home field advantage.
Dallas — Fail
New York (Giants, Jets) — Pass, sort of
Pittsburgh — Pass
Seattle — Pass
Arizona — Bandwagon heaven… Fail
San Francisco — TBD
Denver? a solid A+. Great crowd, good food, fun festive (and nervous) atmosphere. Nice job Denver.

Bar1 in club level has a great and attentive staff. Excellent food, drinks, friendly service. Bathroom are clean– not a long wait; reasonable for a stadium. Great stadium, awesome fans, best football team in the country. Thoughtful commentary coverage. Broncos front office staff is thoughtful, excellent customer service.
Go Broncos!

I’m a Broncos fan so I’m going to give this a 5 star! Of course! Haha!
I couldn’t visit Colorado without stopping by the football stadium of my favorite team. This place is huge and I love the structure of it. I like that they have all of the famous and well to do great players status outside for all to see.
Gift shop had a good selection and they hold tours daily. Sadly my flight back was the Monday they were playing the Bangles so I wasn’t able to watch the game but for sure next time, I’ll be sitting in the stadium and cheering!
Go Broncos!

We went to our First Broncos game here at Sports Authority Field, and I have to say the stadium itself is quite nice. I found the food offerings to be wide, and the prices were not bad for a professional team venue. Our seats were in the upper deck, and the stairs were quite steep. I felt like I was way up there. I have been to many sporting events in various facilities, and these stairs were quite narrow. On a cold frozen day, I would be concerned navigating those stairs. I loved the scoreboard. It was huge and the sound system was awesome. Another area of improvement would be better signage and paving to the foot bridge crossing I25. Mostly, you just follow everyone else to find your way. Also, they could use more security out there when a game lets out. Masses of people crossing onto a small footbridge with not much lighting is a bit dangerous. Other than that, the whole experience was good fun.

Awesome football venue, great seats and even from the upper section you get a great view of the field.
Amazing atmosphere with the mountains as the backdrop and the fan experience is top notch. I’ve been to other stadiums around the country where the fans just quietly sit there and barely cheer for their team… not here, the fans are engaged and become part of the team, that makes the experience so much more and the reason to come to the games… well done Denver!

This stadium is pretty nice, and it’s difficult to get a bad seat. Almost always the views are excellent! The staff is great, everyone is super friendly. I had a great time at both games I went to, and I am going to another here in December. I kind of wish they’d made it a dome considering how cold it gets and the fact that it does snow in CO — peak months for football season — so there’s that. Bring a blanket, earmuffs/​hat, scarf, coat, and wear longjohns if you are going to a game in the winter!

Go Broncos! I came here to experience a Bronco game and I got the experience (thankfully the winning one)! The stadium is great, clean, and the staff was super friendly. It has a good flow too which I feel like a lot of stadiums sometimes lack.
But ultimately the stadium is only as good as the fans you pack into it, and BRONCOS fans are the BEST!

Outstanding customer service!
I have been here now twice in the last month in a wheelchair due to breaking my leg. The first was about 24 hours after the break for the Kenny Chesney concert and when we went to customer service in the wheelchair and told them what happened, one of the guys personally escorted us to handicap seats, told us it was not a problem at all and went above and beyond to help us! When leaving they also escorted to the front of the lines to the elevator and even opened all the doors on our way out for us!
The second time was at the Broncos preseason game against the 49ers. Same situation, went to customer service and without batting an eye the lady took us to the handicap section and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable!
Both times they were extremely nice, understanding, and empathetic to my situation, we even ended up with upgraded seats for both!

I was so looking forward to my first Broncos game but the whole security check process put a damper on the game going experience! We came here for a pre-​season game on a Thursday night. Not only did we have to deal with the typical rush hour traffic, it was raining quite a bit and we had to wait for 20 minutes in line to get a locker for my bag since they only allow clear plastic bags, fanny pack or a small purse/​clutch with no handles! On top of that, I had to pay $ 5 for the locker and they only accept cash! I thought it would be included with the ticket price but I was wrong! Ladies, make sure you leave your large handbag in the car or bring a small clutch to avoid the bag check!
Parking: there’re many lots nearby and expect to pay $ 10 or up for parking close to the stadium, which is not bad at all. But leaving the game may take longer if you park there. A better option is to take Über.
Once we got into the stadium, things finally turned around! It was very lively inside with all the fans dressed in team jerseys. We got good seats and really enjoyed watching the live game! Expect the usual stadium food including hot dogs, burgers, pretzels, nachos, fries, pizza and beer!
Overall, it was too much hassle to find parking, go through security check in and fight with the afterwork traffic for a week day game. You’re better off watching the game at a bar or in the comfort of your home!

The all new 2015 menu is a hit. I like that they have added some «all you can’s» to the menu. All you can drink soft drinks $ 9.00, all you can eat popcorn $ 8.00. This is GREAT if you’ve got a bunch of ppl or a group of kids. Also when you spend 4 – 6 hours there prices can add up quick.
First preseason Bronco game so the place was packed. Everyone was geared up for a fun night in the great weather. The clear bag thing still throws me a bit. Make sure you have it because you’re not taking your stuff in without it. I saw a lot of ppl with gallon zip top bags.
Check their site for do’s and don’t if you’ve not been in the past few years. Always a great people watching experience.

Park @ the Denver Aquarium for $ 10 & just walk over! I am subtracting a star because the nachos here don’t come with jalapenos. BOO. Other than that, the stadium is great. The walls are painted orange & the seats make out the image of Miles the horse. All the seats give you a good view of the field & the outside appearance of the stadium is architecturally unique. I’ve only come to 1 game (Broncos vs. Cardinals) but look forward to seeing more football game here. Yay sportsball! Defeat the opponent! Score a goal unit!

The stadium is great. I may be a bit biased as a Broncos fans, but we have a pretty stadium, overlooking a pretty city, with views of the mountains even from inside.
Plenty of food and drink options, and not a bad seat in the house.

It was a cool stadium we went on a tour at the end of our mountain hiking vacation to kill some time before the airport. Tour cost 20 bucks not too bad, pretty nice Stadium. Go Texans hahahahaha.

Denver Broncos!!!
Awesome field, awesome crowd. True fans come out and support their team. No bandwagoners here.
Stadium is very cool, beer prices great, food OK.

How many awesome memories is this field responsibly for ??? Countless. that’s how many… As a proud native and a lover of my sweet princes (the Denver Broncos).I’ve been here a lot… the stadium is in great condition and the energy when we are here is great! W e get treated like family …
This season we went to KS to see our boys play and I have to say… the stadium was lack luster .aka a dump… not that we didn’t have a blast watching orange and blue dominate the Chiefs !! But Denver has it good compared to other fields… We tend to be spoiled here in Denver and I have to say it’s a 5 star in my book… Can’t wait to spend my home game Sundays reppin my city …
I’ll be back FOSHO

So excited to attend our Holiday Party this year @ Mile High West Club Lounge. Not very often I get to the CLUB LEVEL.
The Ballroom was absolutely amazing. There were over 300 people, Cocktail Hour, Formal Dinner, Dance Floor, Photo Booth, Awards & Fabulous desserts.
The Photo Booth by Encore Entertainments was a blast. The staff was Awesome.
My favorite part of the evening was overlooking the Football Field while Holiday Music is playing & no Bronco Game. It’s a wierd feeling, but very festive.
Highly recommend having your next function here.

If you want to join the Mile High club, here are your options.
(a) You could book a flight and then proposition someone mid-​flight and get slapped or arrested (or lucky).
(b) You could book a flight with someone that you already know will hop on the good foot and do the bad thing with you and then git er done.
© You could watch the Carl’s Jr «like a G6» commercial over and over and over and over and over again and dream and dream and dream and dream and dream.
(d) You could come to this stadium, and then come inside the stadium.
I recommend the latter, because the lack of oxygen way up here in what the French disaffectionately know as «Les Rockies», will give you a sort of «auto erotic asphyxiation finish», similar to that one time John Elway drove 98 yards for a game winning touchdown (thank you South Park for that one).
First-​Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium — I’d really like to give this stadium a 5 star rating because it deserves it and it’s one of the best facilities in the NFL. Except that it shouldn’t have been built. The old one was really nice and they used so much public money on this stadium that it makes me sick.
I’ve seen the Broncos play here and wow… what a crowd and what a stadium. But then they were winning, and they know how to sing when they’re winning. However when they lose, I’ve heard them boo their Broncos. And boo Manning. I know, right. Unbelievable. So for this reason too, the stadium loses a star. You do not boo your own team, especially not when they are that… damn… good.
I’ll be coming back here for more games in future, I’m sure. But Denver: stop building new stadiums and use the money to fix other problems instead. You know what problems you have and they’re big ones. Focus on that.
Now that I’ve been to every NFL stadium (current and former) and seen all 32 teams play live in the flesh, time to review them on Unilocal!I love stadia! I’ve been to every cool sports arena in the UK & North America, it’s an obsession I have with travel & sport. I’ve roamed America as a musician for years. In that time, I’ve seen sports games at (or toured when empty, or both) almost every major stadium in US/​Canada. Many pictures taken which I’ll upload eventually. On future travels, I’ll new pix, and add more stadiums! Watch this space!
***back to regular review***
It’s a fantastic stadium indeed. I can’t really give it a 5 because the Broncos, as a Chiefs fan, are the bane of my existence, and even before they were, their QB, Peyton «I promote sh*tty pizza» Mannging was the bane of my existence when he killed our play off hopes by marching into Arrowhead and beating us 10 years ago (or more, now), when we had Tricky Dicky Vermeil, only to lose (as usual) to Tom Brady (as usual) in the Championship game (as usual). (As usual).
Definitely a great atmosphere, stunning, brilliant place to watch games. Loud and raucous, and definitely has a little sex appeal about it too, between the hot Colorado girls and the gorgeous cheerleaders and the fact that «Mile High» is in the name of the stadium.
As sexy as the Carl’s Jr commercials? Not sure.
By the way Denver is one of the most stunning cities in the USA, and I love the Bob at Yazoo, it’s amaaaaaaazing. And there are some great Mexican places in town, and a good Chicago dog place too. Go to Taqueria Mi Pueblo at the Pueblo Market for the best tacos. That’s all I’ve got for now.
And of course if you want to get to Denver to watch a game, you should fly on a G6 baby, on a G6.

This is a really nice stadium considering it is not new anymore. Great tailgating, food, craft beer on tap as well as Coors. Great sight lines. We were visiting Denver and not Bronco fans per say but had a great time with the overall experience. The fans really get into the tailgating and game. A lot of history outside with homages paid to former players. Great views on the West side of the Rockies, and downtown on the east side.
The white Bronco at the south end of the stadium is super cool — and the jumbo tron is amazing.
We had the good fortune of seeing Manning break Favre’s record!

When I decided to take my vacation to Denver a few weeks ago, I told my buddy to find a way to get broncos tickets. As a colts fan, I wanted to see Peyton play one more time (hopefully it’s not the last time I see him play live). My friend made some calls and just like #18, he came through with some clutch seats for us.
We headed to the stadium and it was covered in orange and blue. Lots of tailgating and you could tell everyone was enjoying it. The stadium has a nice exterior and landscape. Parking looked like it was a breeze with a ton of spots and good coordination.
Out section was 315, second to last row from the top. It was far but you could still see everything. It gave a nice view of the city skyline as well as the gorgeous mountains. I was cheering on Peyton and Julius Thomas (fantasy TE) and they didn’t disappoint. Peyton threw for a career high in yards and got to touchdown pass #500 which was a huge accomplishment; they showed the graphics on the scoreboard and everyone applauded and cheered for him. Also massive props to Julius Thomas who caught #500 and also caught his second touchdown in the 4^th quarter helping me get a much needed win in my fantasy league.
While I was going to give 4 stars for this, it’s getting 5 stars thanks to the fans and how friendly they were to me. It might be due to the half colts half broncos #18 jersey I wore but I had pleasant conversations with everyone and told them to enjoy Peyton. He’s a QB who’s one in a million and they all appreciate what he’s done for the team.
It was an awesome NFL experience, just like Peyton and Julius!

Beware of drunk fans. I suppose you find that in every stadium, but we expected classy considering the price we paid and the quality seats that we had… see the photo that I’ve posted of the worst person ever.
AVOID THIS LADY AT ALL COST!!!
