Denver fans haven't lost their affection for "Mile High Stadium"
even though the place the Broncos play has been known as Invesco
Field at Mile High since 2001.  Interviews with a sampling of
Broncos fans Thursday afternoon suggest they still like the name

Authority, an 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.
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.  "I've always called it Mile High Stadium," Micabla
Klimzler of Denver said. "Having another name to it is kind of

Broncos began as an American Football League franchise in 1960,
playing home games at the venue that was then known as Bears
Stadium. It became Mile High
