This updated health order requires fans—regardless of vaccination status—to wear masks within any public indoor space at the stadium. These areas include the Broncos Team Store, restrooms, elevators, indoor portions of stadium clubs and suite level corridors.

Masks are not required in the outdoor seating bowl or general concourse areas.

Broncos officials released a statement Wednesday that read, in part:

"Empower Field at Mile High will remain in close communication with public officials and health experts, adjusting its COVID-19 policies as necessary based on the latest recommendations and in accordance with all local/league protocols. We will continue to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including encouraging all eligible Coloradoans to receive the vaccination."
