A fire that broke out last week at the Denver Broncosβ Empower Field at Mile High Stadium has forced staff to shuffle schedules and locations for a number of planned events at the venue, including a local high school's prom.
Assistant general manager Scott Bliek told the local NBC affiliate that a number of events will now need to be moved to other parts of the stadium
According to Bliek, the fire that destroyed almost 200 seats on the stadiumβs third level, as well a suite, has moved Brighton High Schoolβs prom to an event space in the basement. Bliek said the stadium has upgraded the schoolβs event package and will be giving them a discount.
The logistics of moving events is complicated by the fact that the stadium doesnβt have a liquour license for all of the venueβs event spaces.
The Broncos said that the stadiumβs suites should be refurbished for the upcoming season.
A team source told NBC that the fire may have happened when metal work sparked during construction.
