Denver
is the largest
metro city in a 600 mile radius -- an area almost the size
of Europe.
Some other
surprising facts:
Denver has
the nation's largest city park system, with more than 200
parks within city limits and 20,000 acres of parks in the
nearby mountains -- an area larger than all of Manhattan
Island.
Denver has
300 days of bright sunshine a year -- more annual hours of sun
than San Diego or Miami Beach.
Denver
International Airport is the nation's largest -- 53 square
miles, an area so large it could hold the Dallas-Fort Worth
Airport and Chicago O'Hare Airport combined.
Denver is a
"sports capital," with all four Major League sports (NHL
Colorado Avalanche, NBA Denver Nuggets, NFL Denver Broncos,
Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies), as well as two
professional soccer teams.
