ONE OF THESE NIGHTS: In Denver, Michele Ames notes sound problems during the Eagles' August 11 concert at Invesco Field at Mile High and writes the Metro Football Stadium District will pay as much as $100,000 in refunds to some people who attended the concert. But sources said that the Eagles and Jam Productions, which promoted the concert, "will pick up the tab for the rest" (ROCKY MTN NEWS, 8/21). Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen, on Invesco Field at Mile High: "I'm very, very pleased with it. I can't wait to play the first pre-season game next Saturday night. It's (as) exciting to me as a playoff game, and I'm anxious to open on Monday night with you guys." More Bowlen, on the Denver Post's decision to refer to the stadium as Mile High: "I suppose the Denver Post can refuse to do anything they want, but in fact, it is Invesco Field at Mile High and that's the name. If they want to call it something else, that's up to them" ("MNF," ABC, 8/20).
