The primary tenant is the Denver Broncos of the National Football League NFL. It opened in 2001 to replace the Broncos` original home, the old Mile High Stadium. The venue was previously home of the Denver Outlaws lacrosse team and the Colorado Rapids soccer team. It has also played host to countless concerts and served as the venue for Barack Obama`s acceptance of the Democratic presidential nomination.The stadium is nicknamed Mile High due to not only its predecessor, but due to the city`s elevation of 1 mile or 5,280 feet 1,610 m above sea level.Given the difficulty of competing at altitude, as well as the notoriously loud fans, the Broncos are known to have one of the best home field advantages in the NFL.
