Today I got to spend some quality time at one of America's most impressive stadiums, Invesco Field at Mile High. While the stadium is impressive, it's a horrible name. I don't care how much Invesco put into the place, it should have remained Mile High Stadium period. If you care what the hell Invesco does, go visit their website here.
The stadium is home to the NFL's Denver Broncos and MLS' Colorado Rapids. The Bronco mystique fills the stadium.
Along the upper tier are great Denver Broncos players, like Tom Jackson, John Elway, Craig Morton and Jim Turner.
Located near the former site of Mile High Stadium, it includes 1.7 million square feet of space (approximately twice that of Mile High, according to its Website) and has a 76,125 seat capacity.
Construction began on the stadium in mid-1999. The cost of the new stadium is being shared by Broncos Owner and Chief Executive Officer Pat Bowlen and the taxpayers of the six-county Denver metropolitan area.
It is clear from the Website that Mile High Stadium casts a shadow that is difficult for Invesco Field to handle, as it is very careful to link the two:
The site upon which Mile High Stadium formerly stood now features grass, trees and landscaped parking lots. The new facility is highlighted by an emphasis on state-of-the-art technology, while maintaining the traditional aspects of Mile High Stadium that have given the Broncos a decided home field advantage over the years. Those features include the close proximity of the seats to the field, as well as steel treads and risers that can be used to create the same deafening "Rocky Mountain Thunder" that helped define Mile High Stadium.It is a very nice stadium with a really good look to it.
It seems like a great place to see a Broncos game.
However, this day belonged to the Colorado Rapids. Besides, those are much easier tickets to get. More on the Rapids game in my next post.
Denver's bid to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention has hit a snag, one that might potentially cost the city's chances despite front-runner status:
Local union leaders have decided not to oppose Denver’s bid for the 2008 Democratic National Convention, but it was unclear Thursday whether the change would improve the city’s chances of winning.
Labor issues in the city have focused on hotels, and particularly the new, city-bonded Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center. None of Denver’s hotels are union, and some Democratic delegations say they must stay in union hotels.
Officials in opposing cities have seized on Denver’s labor issues as the Democratic National Committee looks to name two finalists this month.
“I think it is important for some of the delegates from strong union states to stay in union hotels,” said Erin Dady, the marketing director for St. Paul, Minn. “Especially here in the Midwest where we have strong ties to labor.”
Minneapolis-St. Paul and New York are the other finalists for the convention, and, unlike Denver, both have union hotels.
Still, officials with Denver’s host committee now can say that labor is not formally opposing the bid as they make their case to national Democrats.Even if the bid is not dropped, it may be unlikely that Denver can win over big-time Dem leaders without a hotel with unionized workers:
Host committee officials said last week that landing the 2008 convention would be unlikely unless the city had at least one hotel with organized labor.Well, let us hope that this technicality may be overcome. Denver is an attractive and strategic place for the Dems in '08, and who are we kidding? We'd love to the Dems, moonbats and all, in the Mile Hi City.
