In anticipation of the August 18 pre-season home game and the start of the 2024 season, the Denver Broncos introduced the latest food offerings and a new premium club space at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium.

Located on the stadium's north side, Club 1977 is a premium space that is a tribute to the club’s Orange Crush defense of the 1970s that led to the Broncos' first Super Bowl appearance in 1977. This all-inclusive space is for members only, and available for members to use for non-Broncos events.

If a way to a fan's heart is through his tummy, then the Broncos and the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group have a solid game plan.

Die-hard Denver Broncos fans would eat a sack lunch and drink tap water if it meant a guaranteed winning season. Until then, they can check out the latest restaurants serving eats inside Empower Field at Mile High this year: Bean Water, Hall and Worth, Better Off Burger, Lucy's Burger Bar, Blue Pan Pizza, Pints Peak Ice Cream, Bonanno Concepts, Renegade Burrito, Ducks Dozen, TAG Burger Bar & Restaurants Concepts, and Guard and Grace.

After a round of taste testing, Blue Pan's Detroit-style pies (section 127) are our pick for the best eats. The popular local eatery with locations in the West Highland and Congress Park neighborhoods, as well as its newest in Golden, serves one of the best pies in town...and that quality holds up at Empower Field.

Here's a look at some of the other new specialty items available at the stadium:

The new fried chicken sandwich has a Southwest kick from the addition of pepper Jack cheese, roasted green chiles and spicy aioli. Find it in sections 303 and 342.

Buns on the Run cinnamon buns from Hall & Worth will be available for a post-game treat at gates 2, 4 and 10 upon exit.
