Mile High Stadium: As High as Your Hopes for a Denver Broncos Win (Probably Higher)
Let's talk altitude, folks, because in Denver, it's not just about how you fly, it's about how high you live. And when it comes to Mile High Stadium, home of the Denver Broncos, well, the name ain't exactly messing around.

So, How High Is Mile High Stadium ACTUALLY?
Here's the kicker: Mile High Stadium isn't actually a full mile high. Gasp! I know, right? Turns out, exaggerating for effect is a thing even in the world of stadium names. But don't worry, it's still pretty darn high.
We're talking a cool 5,280 feet (1,610 meters) above sea level. That's higher than most airplanes are when they're just taking off! Imagine throwing a football with that kind of lung-busting breeze. No wonder Denver has such a strong home field advantage!
Why the Nickname "Mile High" Then?
Well, there are a couple of reasons. First, Denver itself sits at a mile high (shocking, I know), so the nickname kind of stuck. Second, the stadium's predecessor, the actual Mile High Stadium, did live up to its name. So, while the new stadium isn't quite there, it pays homage to its heritage (and the city's sky-high location).
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Bonus Fun Fact: The elevation messes with more than just football games. Be prepared for slightly lighter beers and maybe even a bit of dizziness if you're not used to the altitude. Hydrate those Broncos fans!
