If you are anywhere in or around the Denver area, be sure to head out to Invesco Field for tonight's open workout. The Broncos will be working out under the lights of the home field, giving fans a first hand look at what the new-look Broncos are getting done at Training Camp.
Coach Josh McDaniels has said the workout will try to simulate as much as possible a real game situation.
"(There will be) a lot of teamwork (and) coaches off of the field in the booth, so we are going to simulate, as much as we can, a game-type setting and scenario for our players and staff because we haven't done this together yet. We don't want the first time that it happens to be in San Francisco. (There are) a lot of exciting things to go into practice tomorrow. There will be some live contact and hitting.
"We are all looking forward to going down there. Usually during this time of training camp, you get rejuvenated by going down there, putting the lights on and being in the stadium. It is a fun thing for all of us. Everybody is looking forward to it, and I hope there is a good turnout. I hope we put on a good show."
Below is some key information if you are planning on attending. If you are, take some notes and pictures and share with the rest of us!!
* - The practice will run from 6-8 p.m., and gates to the stadium will be open at 5:30 p.m.
* - Admission and parking are free. The South Lots of the facility will be open for parking.
* - Seating for the practice is general admission. Fans will be directed to the seating areas of the stadium that will be open.
* - The Broncos will practice in full pads, and the session will include several ‘live' periods.
* - All players will sign autographs for fans after the practice.
* - There will be a limited T-Shirt giveaway for fans.

I need a 1920x1200 version of that picture.
Would make for a great desktop background during FB season. :)

My first thought exactly. Guru, where did you get that pic?
This is what we wanted...
Hey, look what we got!

Guru, I have enjoyed your submittal tremendously but
having sold out, the team management, staff, coaches and players no doubt have to do it. The television announcers, radio broadcasters, official web pages, newspapers and magazines are probably obligated as well. Us fans, however, can do as we please. I appeal to everybody who has the option to exercise free will: Please please please refer to our home turf only as Mile High Stadium.
PS If this forum had been known as Invesco Field Report, it might not even have occurred to me to join.

LOL....
Great point…To me, It isn’t the name that matters, but the atmosphere….Unfortunately, the new place will NEVER be what Mile High Stadium was, EVER. I have a real hard time calling the new place Mile High because I think it does Mile High Stadium a disservice.

The old Mile High Stadium
Some writers at SI did an article a couple days ago in which they listed 25 things they miss about the (old) NFL. Mile High Stadium was one of them.

Here's what they said:
9. Old Mile High Stadium:
How can you not love a stadium where home fans sustained the world’s loudest roar for 10 seconds (a reading of 128.74 decibels in 2000, beating the previous world record by 3.34 decibels)? The fact is Invesco Field, which opened in 2001, simply doesn’t generate the noise old Mile High did. Rocky Mountain News columnist Dave Krieger described the old stadium as an erector set. “The upper decks bounced when the people bounced,” Krieger wrote. “This scared the bejesus out of novice national TV announcers, who thought the whole thing was about to come apart. They had a tendency to sit down suddenly, as if this would steady things.” Denver fans haven’t tasted a title in the new stadium: The Broncos last won a Super Bowl in 1998. –R.D.

In 30 years when I buy the team
The first thing I will do is tear down (this) invescrap and rebuild Mile High. Consider this my solemn vow that justice will be done. For great justice!

Careful!
The last thing Pat needs right now is more trouble from Kaiser! ; )

Can't Wait
Just moved to Denver from SC a month ago and this will be my first time near the field. I’ve been a lifelong Broncos fan in the Deep South and I’d love to see my boy K-Mac get one in the end zone tonight.

Sweet
Enjoy it, man. Should be a great time.
This is what we wanted...
Hey, look what we got!

Hope you have a great time!
You might appreciate this… I saw the Broncos play the Panthers in Carolina’s first “home” pre-season game in Clemson. What I remember most is that it was HOT. Still, sweaty, and HOT! Waiting the hour in traffic getting back to the freeway was a relief, because our air conditioner worked well! You should fare better tonight – wish I were there!

Big favor to ask of anyone that might be attending
I don’t normally like to ask for stuff like this, and hate to be a burden on anyone else but……….
I noticed at the end it says all players will be available to sign autographs. If there is anyone that will be attending and has the opportunity to get an autograph form Champ on a hat or football or some kind of Broncos gear I would be more than happy to compensate said person for the cost of said item as well as their time and effort. It is not for me personally but I can tell you the person that would be getting it is well deserving and would be the happiest little dude this side of the mississippi.

'Invesco Field'?
I am sorry but i am going to have to call out MHR on this one. What is this, ESPN? You guys really should check your sources. I am not familiar with this facility you refer to as ‘Invesco Field’. As faar as I know the Denver Broncos play in Mile High Stadium.
I guess in light of the typically high standard around here I will let this slide, but I’m watching you guys. LOL
