Playing Surface

The playing surface at Sports Authority Field at Mile High is a 100 percent natural grass field made up of four different Kentucky Bluegrasses, overseeded with perennial ryegrass. The grass surface is stabilized by a network of polypropylene fibers that were sewn vertically into the sod every 3/4”. This process took three weeks, with crews working 24 hours a day. The technology was developed by DD GrassMaster out of Holland, and has been used at over 100 stadiums worldwide. Underneath the sod is a sand root zone laid above an extensive drainage and soil heating system. After heavy rain, in a matter of minutes, surface water can be drained with a strong suction system called Sub-Air. The ground is also heated during the winter months by a network of 21 miles of underground hot water tubing. Sports Authority Field at Mile High is proud to utilize all of these components which make up this world-class playing surface.

Public Art

"Mountainscape," by Catherine Widgery of Truro, Mass., is comprised of three concentric rings of natural Colorado boulders and rock inlays which compliment the pedestrian park on the east side of Sports Authority Field at Mile High. “Mountainscape” is open year-round and serves as a natural meeting place and a bench area among boulders that measure between 18 and 36 inches tall.

On the Counties Gateway Plaza to the West of the stadium, visitors will find the artistic remnants of the "Equipment Field" by artists Melissa Smedley, Mathieu Gregoire and Ante Marinovic of San Diego. "Equipment Field" is formed by seven marble and aluminum sculptures, which are placed strategically along the Plaza from west to east, as if giant players discarded their equipment many years ago after a rousing game. They appear partially unearthed as if left from centuries prior, and will be "discovered" by fans as they approach the stadium from the west. The sculptures range from a few inches to more than 14 feet tall and are positioned so fans may easily interact with them.

Three new sculptures by Massachusetts artists Ralph Helmick and Stuart Schecter were added to the north side of the stadium in 2004. The series of three "Pigskin Variations," individually titled Sisyphus, Buster, and Lilliputia, offer a spectrum of metaphoric imagery relating to Colorado history and culture. These Colorado sandstone and bronze pieces suggest sport, challenge, exertion, control and conquest.

One additional public art work has been selected for the south entrance and will be commissioned at a later date.

Sculpture

"The Broncos," a gift to the people of Colorado from Pat Bowlen and the Bowlen family, is located on the south end of the stadium. Created in Florence, Italy, by world-renowned sculptor Sergio Benvenuti, this sculpture consists of five broncos, one mare and one colt. The horses are 1-1/2 times life-size and depict horses running up hill in an alpine mountain setting. The sculpture looks like a snapshot in time. The water feature, which resembles a raging stream, pumps 850 gallons per minute and is slightly heated so in the winter, steam rises from the stream. Special lighting illuminates the sculpture at night.
