As you are probably aware, there was a fire at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium on Thursday (March 24th) in Denver. The stadium, of course, is the home of the Denver Broncos. Luckily, multiple sources have reported that there were no injuries from the fire. However, the scene was a very surreal thing regardless of how you look at it.

The Denver Fire Department was able to get on the scene fairly quickly and the area was quickly evacuated as Empower Field at Mile High tweeted out.

What truly is a shocking sight to see is some of the pics that were taken of the fire that occurred at Mile High Stadium. It's amazing that no one was hurt and there wasn't many people around that needed to be evacuated, given the offseason for the Denver Broncos.

Some of the scenes were pretty unreal.

As you could see, it was an incredible scene. As Marc Sallinger of 9News in Denver reported, over 1000 square feet was burned inside the stadium, including dozens of seats. Thanks to the 75 firefighters from the Denver FD, the fire was contained, although an original cause is not known, despite the fact that they know the fire originated in the suite area.

Any fire is scary. When it happens at one of the most well known stadiums in the country, it's shocking and surreal. Again, luckily, no injuries have been reported from the incident. This will be a developing story over the next few days to come until more is known.

Just The Facts: Size Doesn't Matter For Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium

Did you know it would take the populations of Gillette (32,857), Laramie (32,381), Rock Springs (23,319), Sheridan (17,844) and Wright (1,200) to create a sellout inside Michigan's famed 107,601-seat Big House, the largest college football stadium in the nation?

For those of you not familiar with the Cowboy State, those are Wyoming's third through sixth most inhabited cities, along with the small mining town in Campbell County.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert GagliardiJared NewlandRyan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
