Denver Broncos' Miles

In American football, the "mile" designation for the Denver Broncos refers to the team's home stadium, Empower Field at Mile High, located in Denver, Colorado. The "mile high" term highlights Denver's elevation of 5,280 feet (one mile) above sea level, which can affect players' stamina and game performance due to thinner air. This unique altitude gives the Broncos a potential home-field advantage, as visiting teams may be less accustomed to the lower oxygen levels, potentially impacting their endurance during games played at Mile High Stadium.
