This past weekend we packed up 4 kids and the camera then we went to one of the monoliths in Denver, Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The tallest sports field in the US, sitting over a mile high at its highest peak. There were people from all over the US there to take the tour.
When we first got there my little ones (and my teens) went
off to the play area full of jerseys, skis, and helmets for them to try on.
They loved it. If you don’t know how much weight a Bronco football player wears
on his shoulders, try on the pads, a helmet and a jersey. It’s amazing how
heavy those items are together.
Then you get to wander through the corporate suites, sit in where the broadcasters watch the game and view the field from the media seats. My favorite part was all the photography that adorned the walls. Years of Broncos football captured in time, players on the field covered in snow and heartfelt moments in the huddle.
I really enjoyed watching my 17 year old high school
football player wander through the locker room and the “therapy” room. He’s
spent enough time in there during his 3 years of high school ball; I let him
know that I wouldn’t be offended to have him sitting in one of those locker
rooms one day. No pressure, right??
Have family visiting this summer and want to do something
different with them? How about a young athlete that loves to watch sports with
you? Take them on a tour to Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
