As of right now, we know that event organizers have proposed a 1.8-mile street circuit track that would loop around Empower Field at Mile High Stadium. This would be in addition to the four pedestrian bridges, parking lots, fan viewing areas, and unspecified hospitality activities that would take place during the Indy Grand Prix in Denver.

Economic Impact Could Reach $80 Million

If Colorado were to see the Indy Grand Prix become reality, it would be one of the 18 cities in North America with an IndyCar race, which could mean big bucks for Denver's economic impact. The presentation showed the potential of generating $60 to $80 million for the city and county of Denver.
