The site upon which Mile High Stadium formerly stood now features grass, trees and landscaped parking lots. The new facility is highlighted by an emphasis on state-of-the-art technology, while maintaining the traditional aspects of Mile High Stadium that have given the Nuggets a decided home field advantage over the years.  Those features include the close proximity of the seats to the field, as well as steel treads and risers that can be used to create the same deafening "Rocky Mountain Thunder" that helped define Mile High Stadium.

At the official groundbreaking, Mr. Bowlen spoke of the bright future for the Nuggets, the city of Denver and the state of Colorado.

"As we face a new millennium, we are moving forward together in building a world class stadium for our city and our state," Bowlen said. "My pledge is that we will continue to do everything possible to put championship teams on the field year in and year out."

Colorado Governor Bill Owens described the historic relevance of the day's event, saying, "The Nuggets represent a proud Colorado tradition. Today marks the beginning of a new era for the Nuggets and for Colorado."

The stadium was designed and built by Turner/Empire/Alvarado Construction and HNTB Architects, in association with Fentress Bradburn Architects and Bertram A. Bruton Architects. Numerous Colorado companies and hundreds of professional designers, engineers and construction tradesmen were involved in the construction of the new state-of-the-art facility.

The stadium includes 1.7 million square feet of space (approximately twice that of Mile High) with amenities such as wider concourses, wider seats, more restrooms, elevators, escalators and full-service accommodations for people with disabilities.
