Empower Field at Mile High

Denver, Colorado, United States

Empower Field at Mile High concert venue in Denver, Colorado

Why it matters

Empower Field opened in 2001 beside the site of the original Mile High Stadium and preserved one of Denver sports’ most recognizable identities. For stadium concerts, the open bowl adds mountain weather, altitude and a downtown skyline that make the night feel distinctly Colorado.

Getting there

RTD light rail serves the stadium area and is a strong option from downtown Denver. Walking from LoDo is possible but longer than it looks, especially after a late show. Drivers should reserve parking and expect I-25 ramps around the stadium to back up.

Bag policy

Before travelling to Empower Field at Mile High, open its official A–Z, FAQ or guest guide and confirm the concert's bag dimensions. A small essentials-only setup is the safest choice when an event notice is more restrictive.

Local tips

RTD light rail serves Empower Field at Mile High Station, which is usually easier than driving. Weather can swing fast after sunset, and visitors from lower elevations should remember that the stadium sits a mile above sea level. Bring a layer even when the afternoon is hot.
