Controversy
Invesco Field at Mile High replaced the beloved Mile High Stadium, which was built in 1948 and was the stadium of the Denver Broncos from 1960-2000. Many city residents did not want a corporate name attached to the stadium, and many continued to refer to Invesco Field at Mile High simply as "Mile High Stadium." Denver's primary newspaper, the Denver Post, also intitially referred to the stadium as Mile High for several years after the new stadium was opened. This angered Invesco, which had paid $120 million for the naming rights.Obama Speech
On August 28, 2008, the Obama Acceptance Speech for the Democratic presidential nomination is scheduled to take place at the field.Bloomberg: Campaign Notebook: Obama, McCain Aim Conventions (August 23, 2008)-
