Replica Mile High Stadium to be built in parking lot of SAF

[VonDoom]

That's why the Broncos will build a mini Mile High in parking lot J, according to a report from Denver7, the Denver Channel. It will be called "Mile High Monument" and be built on the stadium's original site. If you go to Lot J, there is a parking spot that has a painted home plate where the stadium used to stand. Construction is expected to start in April and be completed by the first preseason game in August.

According to the report, the mini Mile High will be one-eighth the size, include 176 original Mile High seats and fit 300 people. The replica will be about 3,000 square feet and about 11 feet tall. The replica will take over about 200 parking spaces.

It will have a working scoreboard to show video of the early games before the Broncos kickoff their afternoon home games, the report said. And, of course, the mini Mile High will have a replica Bucky the Bronco atop the south scoreboard.

The story said the Broncos plan to use this mini stadium to honor the history of Mile High Stadium while also giving fans a place to visit. Fans will even be able to watch Broncos' away games there, with food and beverages, according to the report. How they will go about selecting those 300 people has not been made public as of yet.

They should totally host Pop Warner games.

I wonder who will pay to put their naming rights on it.

Regardless if this is a dumb idea or not, I'm definitely going to check this out the next game I go to.

I doubt that the Broncos have anything to do with this, as -

Sports Authority Field at Mile High is managed by Stadium Management Company, LLC.
The stadium is owned by the Metropolitan Football Stadium District (MFSD)

Channel 7 is reporting it was the Broncos' business department that presented the idea.

They'll get a cut, I'm sure. It's kind of a cool idea. Wonder what the pricing will look like. I see some Comcast events there for the away games!

I would be willing to sell them my two original seats for one million a piece.

I think it's an interesting idea too. I'm sure a lot of it will be for corporate sponsors.

DENVER - The Denver Broncos are going to rebuild Mile High Stadium -- kind of.

Sounds like the Broncos will be paying for this. Also, on ch7 this morning they said there will be a statue of Barrel Man outside of this.
