Broncos Stadium at Mile High

Denver


The much-lauded Denver Broncos football team and the Denver Outlaws lacrosse team play at this stadium, 1 mile west of downtown. This 76,000-seat monster also has an eclectic schedule of events, including major rock concerts for superstars such as U2. Behind-the-scenes tours are organized through the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame and run about 90 minutes.
