On Thursday, March 24, a fire broke out at the Denver Broncos' Empower Field at Mile High around 2:15 p.m.
The Denver Fire Department (DFD) was quick to respond, and since, they've been able to extinguish the fire completely. Images of the fire were posted to Twitter, and it's absolutely insane:
Fire now under control at Mile high Stadium. Sprinklers attempted to stop the fire, but firefighters were needed to complete extinguishment. Heavy fire & smoke was found on our arrival media briefing to take place at 3:00 p.m. on east side of stadium. @DenSafetyDept @CityofDenver pic.twitter.com/7AjPg1x1AN

Despite there being 100 people in the stadium at the time of the fire, no one was injured.
The DFD says the accidental fire likely started in a construction zone; it began in a fourth-level suite and spread to the third level.
