A big stadium, with free KultureCity sensory bags and a sensory room inside Gate 6. There is no re-entry, so the breaks happen inside. Find the room before kickoff.
Open for ticketed events only. Broncos games: gates open 2 hours before kickoff (the stadium suggests arriving 1 hour early), parking lots 4.5 hours before. One home game falls on Dec 25.
“The sensory rooms will be open for all major events taking place at Empower Field at Mile High.”
“Empower Field at Mile High is proud to partner with KultureCity to provide sensory bags for guests with sensory needs.”
The stadium only opens for events, so there's no quiet time to aim for. Every event this season is a Broncos game: Sun Nov 1 (2:25 pm), Sun Nov 22 (2:25 pm), Sun Dec 6 (2:05 pm), Fri Dec 25 (2:30 pm), and Jan 9 or 10, 2027 (time still to come).
The stadium promises the sensory rooms at every major event. It doesn't make the same promise about the sensory bags, so ask for one early.
Fans stomping on the metal stands make a loud clatter the stadium calls Rocky Mountain Thunder, and it calls the South Stands crowd deafening. There's no word on flyovers, fireworks or cannon fire, so pack headphones either way. The sensory room inside Gate 6 is the one quiet place open to anyone with a ticket.
Free KultureCity sensory bags at each Guest Relations Center: noise-cancelling headphones, fidget tools and a non-verbal communication card. Photo ID required at checkout.
A KultureCity Sensory Room for all ticketholders is inside Gate 6, Lower Concourse; check in at the Guest Relations Center near Section 121. A second room (Plaza Level, by Suite 233) is for suite and club tickets only.
No re-entry. Once you leave the stadium you can't come back in, so breaks happen inside.
