DENVER — Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese. Little Man Ice Cream Sandwich. Double Bacon Burger. Colorado Tater Keg.
Those are just a few of the new menu items that will be available to Broncos fans during the upcoming football season at Empower Field at Mile High.
The Denver Broncos host their first home game and the preseason finale at 7 p.m. Saturday when the orange-and-blue will host the Los Angeles Rams.
The Broncos and Aramark Sports + Entertainment, the hospitality and catering company that runs concessions at the stadium, held their annual food showcase for the media Friday at the stadium.
Empower Field at Mile High will have 12 local restaurants throughout the concourses this season with many new and returning concession items for fans.
New for the 2023 season, the Broncos have lowered the cost of several gameday staples to $5. The "Mile High Favs" menu includes hot dog, nachos, pretzel, popcorn, Dasani water bottle, and 20-ounce bottled soft drinks.
The Broncos spent the offseason completing $100 million in renovations, the single-largest capital improvement in the stadium’s 22-year history. The project was completed over the offseason and includes improvements to the videoboards, premium hospitality areas, concessions, Broncos Team Store and elevators.
