Welcome to Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

It’s official. As of this afternoon, the Metropolitan Football Stadium District has unanimously voted to rename the home of the Broncos, previously named Invesco Field at Mile High.

Sports Authority, an Englewood-headquartered sporting goods company, has a deal in place with the Broncos and Invesco Ltd. and has taken over the naming rights of the 10-year-old stadium in Denver.

Sports Authority will replace the 10 years remaining on Invesco’s initial naming rights deal, but the Stadium District will explore other potential offers before extending the deal with Sports Authority for an extra 15 years through the year 2035.

Sports Authority will pay an average of $6 million per year to have its name on the Broncos’ stadium, with 50 percent of that revenue going to the team and 50 percent going to the stadium district. Matt Sugar, a former stadium district spokesman who has been brought back as a consultant, said the stadium district uses its taxpayer funding to make capital improvements to the stadium.

Besides games played by the Broncos, the stadium has hosted the Democratic National Convention, concerts and other sports events.

The first regular-season Broncos game at Invesco Field at Mile High was played Sept. 10, 2001. The next day became forever known as 9/11. The Broncos are 86-74 in the 10 seasons since Invesco Field became their stadium.

Invesco Field has hosted just two NFL playoff games — both at the end of the 2005 season. The Broncos beat the New England Patriots 27-13 before losing the AFC championship game to the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-17.
