Coming Soon: Sports Authority Field at Mile High?

Posted Thu Aug 11th by

Invesco Field

Invesco Field @ Mile High has been the name of the Broncos home field since 2001.

It looks like we may be saying farewell to Invesco Field at Mile High, the name anyway.  Per Mike Klis of the Denver Post, Sports Authority is in negotiations to assume the naming rights to the Broncos’ stadium.

Sports Authority, the Englewood-based sporting-goods company, is in negotiations with Invesco Ltd., the Broncos and the Metropolitan Football Stadium District to assume naming rights of the venue that has been home to Denver’s NFL franchise since 2001. If the stadium district approves the deal during a public meeting Tuesday, Sports Authority will pay $150 million over the next 25 years for the right to have its name on the Broncos’ stadium.

If the deal goes through, the Broncos will kickoff the 2011 regular season against the Oakland Raiders on Monday, September 12th, at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.  Sports Authority is the third-largest private company in all of Colorado, with more than 30 stores in the state.

What say you, Broncos Country?  It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but I could live with it.

    Having every “Invesco” in that building swapped out by opening day would be an impressive feat.  There must be thousands of them…

    Glad to see that I'm not the only one who refuses to utter the corporate name on the stadium wall.  Doesn't matter who buys the naming rights, they never should have been sold in the first place despite the acceptance corporation-branded stadiums have found elsewhere.  I'll continue to stand in solidarity with those who will never refer to the stadium as anything but Mile High.  MILE HIGH WILL NEVER DIE!
