Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteEmpower Field at Mile High is a large stadium seating 76,125 fans in Denver, CO, home to the Denver Broncos of the NFL. The stadium hosts NFL games, concerts, and major events, making it one of the busiest event venues in the Denver area.
Like most NFL venues, Empower Field at Mile High enforces a clear bag policy. All bags brought into the stadium must be transparent plastic, vinyl, or PVC no larger than 12"×6"×12". Each fan may also bring one small non-clear clutch or wristlet (up to 4.5"×6.5"). To avoid any issues at the gate, bring a clear bag that meets the size requirements (12"×6"×12" maximum) and arrive early — security lines move faster when bags are transparent. A one-gallon clear zip-lock bag is an inexpensive alternative if you need a quick solution. If you arrive with a non-compliant bag, Empower Field at Mile High offers locker or bag check services near the entrance.
