I’ve traveled to numerous Lions road games over the past few seasons. Here is the next stadium on my rankings list. Previously, SoFi Stadium took the top spot.
No. 2: Denver Broncos (Empower Field)
There is something majestic about the rolling top sightline of the stadium, which nicely frames the vast blue (usually cloudless) sky of Colorado. The bronze metal broncos outside look very cool, as does the real live horse that gallops around on the field.
The stadium is pretty close to downtown and within walking distance of the Denver light rail, which is a good option for transportation.
Pro tip: The temperature in Colorado varies dramatically depending on if you are in the sun. When the sun dips below the stadium sightline, it can get very cold, very fast. Layer up.
