Denver, Colorado. Rugged, hearty Queen City of the Plains, rising high from the foothills of the Rockies. And soon thanks to the cheap flights to America on offer at a range of sites like dialaflight.com, it could be yours to see and enjoy.

Indeed for sports fanatics the world over, Denver is a truly special place. As the home to many sports teams great and small, it is in fact one of a very special group of only twelve cities across the United States of America with teams from four major sports.

The Denver Broncos have consistently drawn crowds at levels of upwards of 70,000 since they began in the sixties at the Mile High Stadium. Today as legends of the National Football League, fans still flock in their tens of thousands, seeing them all the way to the Super Bowl six times, and going as far as to win consecutive Super Bowls in 1998 and 1999.

But back in the eighties, football was not enough for an ambitious big city on the move. Back then city mayor Federico Pena made it a key priority to bring major league baseball to Denver. After much effort and enthusiasm, the Colorado Rockies were formed and Coors Field was built in the city. The team made great strides and appeared in their first World Series just four years ago.

Not only is Denver renowned in two of the biggest American sports, football and baseball; it has become famous for its hockey team too. The Colorado Avalanche moved from their original home in Quebec City nearly two decades ago to their current venue at Pepsi Center, since which they have gone on to win two Stanley Cups (in 1996 and in 2001).

Even if that weren’t enough, the Pepsi Center also plays host to the great city’s National Basketball Association team, the Denver Nuggets. NASCAR is popular in Colorado too, and Furniture Row Racing is a team based in Denver, the only NASCAR team which has its headquarters in the state.

For the soccer fans, the Colorado Rapids are the local Major League Soccer team, who played their matches at Invesco Field at Mile High until they moved in to a new stadium at Commerce City, one of Denver’s suburbs in the north of the city, called Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

With an incredible sporting and cultural heritage, Denver is an exciting city. As the gateway to the Rocky Mountains, it is a haven for adventurers of all kinds. Sportsmen and fans will be at home there.
