The House That Elway Built! The energy that draws thousands of excited people, buzzing with anticipation even before the game even kicks off. It is noticeable as soon as one sets his sight on Empower Field at Mile High Stadium. It is like a light in the middle of Denver Colorado, attracting any football fans near and far. As I was staring at it, towering above me, I knew I was right in the middle of something special.
As I laid out my equipment, I was prepared to capture the very soul of this hallowed ground. Empower Field is not just any stadium, it is the home of the Denver Broncos. It is a place where fans shout, rejoice and at times cry. This Colorado stadium is not only for football games, It’s about the thousands of people who show up wearing their team’s colors: orange and blue on game days. I could almost see the people, the tension, and excitement even though the gates to the stands were shut.
The light was just perfect to capture the sleek, modern curves of the stadium. I shot the photograph and in that particular shot Empower Field looks magnificent. At times it felt as though you could hear the replay of the past games. This stadium is the living, breathing part of Denver, and has a history and a soul.
When I was going through the photos, it dawned on me that I had not just taken a photo of a structure. I had captured a piece that makes Denver special. The angles, lines and particularly the realism of the stadium was a testimony of the spirit of the city. Empower Field at Mile High is the embodiment of Denver’s passion for the sport and its people.
That was the moment when I finally understood why this place affects people in such a way. Empower Field is the place where fans create history, people find a new family and football brings everyone together.
