Description: Rare, No# postcard booklet variation! MILE HIGH STADIUM & McNICHOLS SPORTS ARENADenver's sports history is richly intertwined with two iconic venues: Mile High Stadium and McNichols Sports Arena, both of which have left an indelible mark on the city's sporting legacy. Mile High Stadium, with its distinctive horseshoe shape and towering stands, served as the beloved home of the Denver Broncos for over four decades. From the famous "Orange Crush" defense of the late 1970s to the championship-winning teams of the late 1990s, Mile High Stadium witnessed countless moments of triumph and glory for Broncos fans. It wasn't just football that graced its hallowed turf; the stadium also hosted soccer matches, concerts, and even a visit from Pope John Paul II in 1993.McNichols Sports Arena, situated in the heart of Denver, was another cornerstone of the city's sports scene. Originally built in 1975, "McNichols" became the home of the NBA's Denver Nuggets and the NHL's Colorado Avalanche (formerly the Quebec Nordiques) upon their relocation to Denver in 1995. With its distinctive circular design and intimate seating arrangement, the arena provided fans with an electrifying atmosphere for basketball and hockey alike. It was here that the Nuggets showcased their fast-paced style of play, while the Avalanche carved out their place in NHL history, winning two Stanley Cup championships in 1996 and 2001.Throughout their tenure, both Mile High Stadium and McNichols Sports Arena bore witness to the talents of countless sports legends. From Broncos icons like John Elway and Terrell Davis to basketball luminaries such as Alex English and Carmelo Anthony, these venues served as the stage for some of the most memorable performances in Denver sports history. Though Mile High Stadium was eventually replaced by the modern Empower Field at Mile High in 2001, and McNichols Sports Arena gave way to the Pepsi Center (now known as Ball Arena) in 1999, the memories created within their walls continue to resonate with fans to this day, serving as a testament to the enduring spirit of sports in the Mile High City.Unused 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" standard size chrome postcard.
