The Denver Broncos have reached a 21-year agreement with Empower Retirement to name the team’s stadium “Empower Field at Mile High.” Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the news:

Empower Stadium at Mile High. What's Empower Retirement? 2,700 employees at its Greenwood Village HQ (had no idea), serves 212,000 Coloradans. It's a 21-year deal w/ Broncos. @woodypaige working on a nickname.

Empower Field at Mile High Stadium. I still will call it Mile High Stadium. Empower Retiement, based in Denver, is the new sponsor for 21 years. Many of us (Me) will Be retired before deal is up. Better than crappy companies before. EF at Mile High? Are the Broncos empowered?

Empower Retirement… I guess that’s appropriate for a team with a 61 year-old head coach, a 59 year-old GM, and a 34 year-old QB https://t.co/vF3R1Xi1Ug

The Broncos have had serious success with quarterbacks who were getting ready to retire, so a retirement planning company makes sense.

It’s an elaborate ruse to bring Andrew Luck to Denver.
Welcome to your new retirement home! We’ll need you to sign a few things first, but encourage you to make full use of our large, recreation area, which sees plenty sun and lots of space for friends and family to visit 😎

Oh god…I sure hope Empower doesn't go into bankruptcy like Invesco and Sports Authority. These guys manage my retirement fund…. pic.twitter.com/cc9EFIhBtp

Empower also has partnerships with the Patriots and Chiefs.
