Do you suggest peeping a game at Mile high?
I want to go there one day to see the Chiefs play, but is it a GREAT experience!?
I mean GREAT. Arrowhead is a Great experience for most people because of the atmosphere. I wish I could have went to the old Mile High when Elway was playing.
Arrowhead is by far the loudest. I would say Denver is 2nd loudest....
Then a Dome team after that. I remember watching a Seattle Vs. St Louis game in St.Louis and I thought no one was at the game! It was so quiet.

Of course I am biased but it is a GREAT experience. Now the old mile high was like nothing else, but just walking around invesco, checking out the "newness" of things is nice and the game itself rocks......
See the thing with the old mile highj is it was metal through and through....so when the crowd got going they would stomp thier feet and the whole fucking place would SHAKE.......Invesco is mainly concrete...sure they added little bits of metle to stomp/hit on but the place is soundly built.....lol the place doesn't "shake" anymore.
and you can notice that on tv as well..watch old games and the camera would shake..where as now nothing. So thats mostly thereason for me. The crowd noise it self is still loud as can be but the extra noise from the stadium itself is gone.
But for sure come on down for a game....I'll take you down to one of the bigger tailgating areas...we'll have some fun.
From Wikipedia:
Qwest Field has earned a reputation as arguably the loudest stadium in the NFL. Allen had the architects design the structure of the stadium, especially the roof, to direct as much crowd noise as possible on the field. In addition, the north end zone seating, called the "Hawks Nest", was specifically designed for rowdy fans; the seating consists of metal bleachers which reflect sound, and fans often stomp to create even more. Since the 2005 season, more penalties for false starts have been called against visiting teams in Qwest Field than in any other NFL stadium. At one point during the 2006 season, the New York Giants complained that Qwest Field was artificially piping in noise in order to distract visiting quarterbacks from running a count.
